    I have, its Factory and newer model which means too expensive for me. The one I buy if Italian will be an 2nd hand import from Japan.

    My mate has an Ducati S4R Monster. If it had a little more poke I would have preferred it to my Ape. Truth be told though, when I rode it, it was the most connected I've ever felt with the road. Awesome feedback and sooo confidence inspiring. They can be scored pretty cheep as an import now.

    The 03 have a better motor delivery than the 04-06 which tend to be a top end blaster where the 03 02 01 etc have a more useable bottom to mid range & abit less top .

    Mates 03 Tuono racing feels abit funny with the weight over the back end more than the front which is one reason I never brought it when it was at the shop which I got my 03 RSVR from

    They can. I never used to get Monsters...until I saw a YouTube of C Phieffer (spelling) stunting on one. Not a fan of the pretty S4Rs's etc. The more basic ones are cool.

    Again, its about the wind etc.

    04 ZX-10R on trademe at the mo for $11,500 (buy now)...local, 30,000kms on it. Green.

    Heh, good luck Sean, on the same boat here. Tell you what, you start test riding from your neck of the woods, and I'll start from mine. If we meet in the middle, we'll just buy the first 2 gixxers we see. :slap:

    Been thinking again...as I see it a 04 ZX10R and 05 636 are going to be a very similar price 2nd hand. What I've been reading makes me think that the 10 might be quite overkill power-wise considering how I ride (156HP at the back wheel )...whereas the 636 is more likely to be more appropriate. I'll just have to learn to rev it a bit more. Also might be able to get a black 636 easier than a black 10.

    Another factor is pillioning. I'd like to be able to do a reasonably solid trip with someone on the back. Is the 10 going to be better at this job (ergos)?

    ergos on the 6 and 10 be simlar (simlar sizes and what not), just 10 be able to pillion better since more torque and what not, does not say the 600 will not, 10 would be easyier, but also depends on how often you plan on doing this, couple of times a year, (deal with it 600) if every few weeks would go 10

    Yeah more likely to be 2-3 times/yr. She'll be on her own bike touring in no time anyway.

    well then forgot about that 2-3 times a year don't count,

    really have to ride a 600/1000cc and which one suits you better

    eg i much perfer the 600 than 1000cc

    God man make up your mind. I think if you are thinking 600 then you should ride a current R6. Fun bike. Would be a useless pillion machine. And a worse tourer.

    But what an awesome bike anyway!
