I wondered what spec bikes we get. I thought we got the euro spec.
Is that where you just cut a wire to the ECU. Why don't the dealers give the bikes the full monty power mod when they arrive?
There is a large variation of 07 ZX-6R's. There is ones with the small orange lens rear indicators and there are some with the clear on the side type indicators (ER6 type). Also there are some with a black belly pan, I have even seen some pics of an orange one.

Of the options presented....It just has to be the 750. Everyone I know that owns one has a small willy, but cos they own a GSXR750, I hardly ever notice their dwarfism. Anything that has that much potential to make my life that easy, is on the top of my list of things that make life easier. Rumour has it that they go good too.

Lets not take this thread off track. We get the Nth American 636 version which has 10hp kneecapped from 13k to redline.- search for my thread I started about Oct 06 for the details.

Hard to go passed that and justify the extra dosh required to get on the 750, 675 or 749. Now that I've restored mine to the euro spec with the extra 10hp up top, it's bloody fantastic.

EDIT- Bloody hell. Just seen in MCT $12,995 at Hamilton M/C for a new 2006 Kawasaki 636! That's value for money. Must be run-out time which means the new ZX6R must be about to land anyday.

So is a 750 worth the extra lots of dosh now?

I doubt it.

Holy jesus.

That is Suzuki's own track in Hamamatsu, apparently the Suzuki test riders were hitting the redline in 6th gear cranked over. I'm hoping to call past the Suzuki factory on my next trip to Japan, wonder what the chances are of nicking a bike and doing a few laps? None, I'm guessing.

I want my own test track.
I'd definitely not be as slow as I am now if that were the case...
A private track has now been added to my powerball/ fuck off rich list.

It would be open for free to KBers of course
