My 500r I have had for 2 seasons along with the 2003 ZR-7S I picked up on the 18th - with only 2000 miles on her when I picked her up. A very comfortable standard for my riding style.

When I was getting it inspected, the sales guy that sold me my 500r said the nice thing with having these 2 is that I can trade them in next year for a z1000. Hmm, I like the way he thinks - LoL!

Care to elaborate on the monster? Just details and pros/cons? reliability issues?

I'm a bigger guy over 6', would the monster be incredibly small for me in your opinion?

sorry to bomboard you with questions...i just love those bikes

max lean angle + abrupt movement(too much gas) = unhappy bike + you on your head.
I got 2005 zx6r. So are you saying that it is very possible to drag the kneee on that bike?

Not only possible, but easy.

Depends on the tires, and the rider though.

The bike itself is more than capable.
