Recommendation for 600cc sports bike

[SMOKEU]

Keep it shiny side up and rubber side down.

got the bike today!!! The transport truck came by around 5pm , i used nz motorcycle movers ( highly recommended if you need a bike delivered door to door service and great price ).

Out rolls my new full black zx6r and she looks amazing!! Iam so happy with my purchase its more then what i could ever hoped for.

Been out riding all afternoon to try and get used to the bike, man i need alot of practice as its been almost a year since i last rode a bike and that was a 250. This thing is a weapon!! its kinda scary how fast this bike is but im just taking it easy getting used to how the bike reacts.

Since the bike cost about 1k under my budget i spent the left over money on a leather jacket and pants. Next thing to do is get some 1on1 training and try to ride with some experienced riders.

thanks everyone for all your advice and hope to see you all out there!!

Hey mate, just bought a 2003 ZX-6R last night. The difference is phenominal - great choice. I can't get over how placid it can be, I expected speed, not as much as it has but I really expected it to eat my children at the slightest hint of throttle. But it just plays nice. Got pics of your new bike yet?

Welcome to the Kwaka club - awesome choice made there, you'll never look back. Mine was the best purchase of anything in my life.

Enjoy the ride

I noticed the same thing when going from a CBR250 to my GSXR600. The difference in handling was like night and day. Has the suspension been sorted properly on it yet? I remember it being far too stiff back at Ruapuna.

Yeah, Red at AAA sorted it - Jason took it there almost immediately following.

The new bike looks good, hadn't seen one in black. Looks very tidy. Congrats and enjoy.

hope you get to ride on a gsxr600/750 way more laid back to ride, you sit in them not on top of them like the 636 or r6
