'09 ZX6R Update

Just thought I would make a quick update about some of the things I have noticed over the last few months.

I get anywhere from 39 - 43 mpg depending on riding style - I only use it on the weekends to relieve some stress or at the track.

I have also noticed that even the little about of space in the tail section of the 250r was great to have - I can't find a place for even a backpack for just-in-case situations.

I don't know why, but going the speed limit is a problem.

The amount of heat this beast puts off is crazy compared to the ninjette.

Squidding out in traffic is not as easy - I would not even think twice about splitting cars at speed - did it once on the ZX6R at it felt like a trying to pass a steam-roller through a toll booth.

At the track, this thing shines like a super nova. The side to side flickability is somewhat slower than the 250r, but the stability at any point in a turn is incredible - especially after having the suspension set by a pro. An upgraded rear shock would make this thing a real racer.
