    What to buy?

    Hi guys,
    Joined the forum with some questions. Looking at getting a new bike thinking zx6r around 07/08.

    Size wise I'm 6,2 105kg, not sure if the bike would suit or what would people recommend. Anyone around the same size ride one and find it ok ?. Just asking before I go test riding a few. Or would people recommend a 1000.

    As for bike experience and someone will ask, have ridden for a while. Feel pready competent but not a full blown racer.

    nobody on here can tell you anything you won't understand better by going and test riding some bikes

    You'll fit provided you're sufficiently limber. The 1000s generally aren't any more roomy anyway.

    Ride some bikes....
    ZX6R is an awesome bike though. Just too slow for me coming from a 1000....

    I sat on a ZX10R once and it felt like I was on a kids bike so I bought a ZX12R instead. Much betterer.
