ZX9R wins. In my little "crashability" test anyway. Binned the 6R the other day (my first bin in the UK Yay!!) at about 10mph, as is my way, and the damage it took is really annoying.
When I binned my old 9R back in good old noo zilland under similar conditions, all it got was a bit scratched up. The 6R broke the bloody footpeg in half, and the footpeg/brake pedal mounting bracket snapped. And the dealer tells me they all do that when you drop them.. This from a bike that weighs half what the old 9R did. Imagine what would have happened if I'd dropped the 9 on it!
Anyway, so I'm pissed off and riding around with half a footpeg which is only holding on by one bolt instead of two while I wait for the parts to arrive. Grrr. Someone say something witty to cheer me up.
Oh yeah, and "Hi everyone from the UK". As though you care...
