Yup, that zx6 is pretty sweet. But you're right, that I'm looking at the 'tamer' sportbikes, since I need one bike to do everything well (with 98% of my riding being commuting).

Yeah, sorry, that was vague. It's about vibes, not riding position (I actually really like the 'moderately aggressive' position of slightly high clip-ons). So I considered the F4i and R6S, for instance, as the position is pretty good. But nerve damage in the wrist is really aggrevated by vibrations, so gripping a handlebar on a vibey bike is pretty much the worst thing I can do for my wrist pain, haha. Riding ANY bike will aggrevate it some, but the more vibes that come through the bar, the worse it is. Bummer, I know.
