    Hey sniper, you pm'ed me about my 7... are you looking at a P series??

    The different models, say the H to the P did differ in handling etc... I have the P series, just make sure you have the right models eh??

    Excellent... was a little worried there :

    As I said, if you need more info, ask. I have been having fun finding out more and more. Only thing you will find, is that for the P series, a lot of the data is from when the bike was one of the "it" bikes back in 2000-ish.

    Typical with most bikes I suppose.

    Also, the zx7r or zx7rr?? have you thought about that??

    i chose it because i found one at the right price at the right time, with some tasty bits on it. For the price that they are going for (the earlier ones) you probably wont get a better deal. They sell for the same price as the SRAD Gixxer yet have 10hp extra, the only drawback i found when i got it was that it has "understeer" if you give it power through a corner, this was quickly fixed by setting the suspension up properly.

    Does wheelies very easily, looks the part (if not the best looking 600 of the time), and with a nice aftermarket pipe it would have to be one of the best sounding 600's i've seen.

    why is sniper choosing it? Well he regretted having his CBR after seeing how much fun the ZXR crew in auckland has been having, and seeing that i've continued the excitement on the R6 he thought "what the fuck, i have to be cool some day..."

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Lol at Gareth. Nah, the reason I want a R6 is that I think they are great bikes and Ive always wanted one.

    Now, serious question, should I go for a GSXR750 Slingshot or a gsxr400?

    No bike?
    So you can spend more time on here then?
    I was concerned that your post per day might drop for a bit there...

    Woohoo, what a toy!

    Katana looks good but not as much fun...
