looks like a killer bike

down 22 pounds, up 6 hp, better weight distribution in part to the side exhaust?!?! Last years bike was no slouch and handled like nothing on earth... This bike is going to be incredible!!!

Bike looks really nice, I'd like to add it to my arsenal one day. It would look nice in black, next to my black 08 10

Slap on an exhaust and I love it.

Something even smaller, maybe Racefit will start making exhaust for the 6R now, imagine a Growler or Mega at 16,000rpm.

Good looking bike, and will probably smoke all the other 600's now, they were so close before to begin with.

Dam...anyone want to buy a slightly used 07 ZX6R(never raced or crashed) :wink:

[cpriordan]

the last one was kind of a flop, i think Kawi got it right with this one though

I often wonder how much they hold back from year to year as far as their available technology. I know sometimes the cost of an "option" will outweigh its value to the consumer... but after seeing the R1 for this year.. how long to you have that type of offset combustion technology that you can translate into more efficient power delivery before the 2009 model year?

I just feel like they give us this incremental advances from year to year.. just never really lay it out there and say "Check it out.. we're the best.. this bike is 2 grand more than all the others in its class, but it whoops everythings ass in its price range plus 10 grand" LOL

oh in a perfect world I guess...

+1 for a good read!!
