I thought you liked the R6 better, what changed your mind?

BTW, not a flame or a smart-assed comment just curious.

no offense taken, dont worry, im not that uptight. yeah, the thing that changed me was the wider build of the gixxer, which feels a little less agressive than the r6. however, it functions just as well for the same price. it grew on me, so i had t get one.

I think anyone on the board will be happy to drive it home for you. :D I can't wait to see all of next years bike, especially the
ZX-6R it's over due for a revamp.

Yeah, but that's to long.:D Every magazine and every review I've read have said the main thing they don't like about them is that nothing is new so I figure they gotta do something for next year. Maybe fuel injection?

i wasnt sure if i could get a ride, and wanted it home safe. im a bit creeped lately, but went ahead and rode it home, so i guess im not cursed. the gixxer rocks, but the break in is killin me. i wnat to twist the wrist and toss it around, but i must be safe about the first couple months. its comfortable, fast, and stylish, so no complaints here.
