Officially a ZX6R rider now.
Finally after 2 extra months of waiting (had surgery at the end of March) I picked up my new 2012 ZX6R yesterday.
Baby is her name.... The sound, the power and handling are absolutely amazing. Other than ergonomics I find this bike easier to ride than my Ninja 250 for me. I am sore today but since it is my first day riding after 5.5 months it isn't too bad. Now low speed manoeuvres in parking lots and parking spots are a little more difficult but I am sure that will pass.

Thanks man!
Imagine twisting the throttle and hearing the air intake suck in all that air and yer just gone! The sound and feel of an SS is whole new level of fun. I look forward to the day I am stupid again and go up to a litre bike LOL.

About time. Grats, bro!
After riding my 6r for 2 months (wow it's only been 2 months) the 250's seating position feels really odd to me now. I'm sure it'll happen to you too. |

The $4,000 difference is the big reason plus I prefer the look of the 09-12s. I liked the 2013s when they first came out but lost interest as they look very similar to the 300s.
Thanks! Even though that is CAPS I read that as if you were whispering it to me.....

Sweet bike, that year/color would be my choice of ZX-6R right now, I think they even have leftovers here at our dealer. Man everyone is getting ZX-6Rs... *looks at my honda* whatever!

Yup, just like that
One of my favourite bikes is the F4i for looks, in yellow. I almost bought a 2006 but could not handle the banana seat, prefer the looks of earlier ones. I know I could have replaced it but too much work for me. When people ask me how I like the new bike I don't even have to say anything, the huge ear to ear evil grin says it all. I can see why everyone is jumping up.
