Keep the 10 and buy the 600 as well.

Re: Thoughts on the 2007 ZX-6R??

After all that QC shit the Kawi gave you, I'm surprised you'd consider another one. There must be considerable charm in that engine.

Re: Thoughts on the 2007 ZX-6R??

With the problems you had on the 10 you're looking at a 6

I'd say go with the RR

I can't believe you'd even consider a ZX-6R over a CBR600RR after the ordeal with the great pumkpin.

Re: Thoughts on the 2007 ZX-6R??

The '06 ZX-6 is taller, longer and heavier than the '05 it replaces.
It also has a peakier powerband and doesn't appear to be any more powerful.
It also still handles like the one it replaced.
I wouldn't even pick it over the GSXR600, which would be behind the R6 and the 600RR.
