+1...You are on the tall side by a mile..I am surprised the ergos of the ZX killed you...Though the ZZR is a nice ride as well. It will be a great bike for you if you have ridden already...Same concept. You are making a pretty good decision. The ZZR has more than enough power to keep up with many newer bikes.The ZZR600 is the '01 ZX-6R with higher handle bars. it has 111hp and weighs 377lbs. I have one and i love it. it's ergos are less cruel than the ZX-6R, while retaining the sportbike posture... it has easily has enough power to loop.. I can't imagine anyone regretting buying one.
the shape of the tank was the problem... I had to bend my spine around the tank to reach the bars... the ZZR's higher bars prevent it... The 10R fit me nice.... not ready for that yet..+1...You are on the tall side by a mile..I am surprised the ergos of the ZX killed you...Though the ZZR is a nice ride as well.

it has the sport bike position.... you're not upright like if you were on a 650R or a connie. The CBR is boring... which is pretty much honda's forte, IMHO... the R6 will be slower than the ZZR unless you like running through town at 11Krpm all the time... I can't honestly say I've ever sat on a gixxer600.Like I said, im going for the sportbike look/feel.
How does this bike compare to an r6, or a gsxr 600? even a cbr?
You guys dont feel I would regret this decision, but im having second thoughts. Im not interested in having a sport/tourer type bike, which ive been reading about with the zzr600, I ride hard, and want to make sure this bike wont lose my interest
I reach if I am just at a stop but when I am on the highway and road I am tucked all the time...actually if I am not tucked it feel awkward. 10R is a lot of bike by all stretch of the imagination...However, if you keep it nice and real, it is a great street bike and commuter. I swear I love commuting on it more than any of my other 2 bikes.the shape of the tank was the problem...

About right...ZZR = to R6...Not sure on that but they are different bikes in a way...ZZR now a sport tourer but I still found it very aggressive in regards to my seating position...Having owned a CBR, yes, it is soooo blah...Good overall bike but it really is not thrilling. That is me. R6 is aggressive, talking about the old one as well...Nice ride though but the seat height for the new one is silly tall....Gixxers are also nice but a dime a dozen...If you are looking at Gixxers and R6 and CBR why not the new ZX6...That bike gets great reviews. PB or was is BIKE reviewed one as a long traveler and they loved it...it has the sport bike position.... you're not upright like if you were on a 650R or a connie.

I can't honestly say I've ever sat on a gixxer600.
and if you want an even more aggressive position, just lower the clip-ons.
Katana is old do not consider it...Too heavy as well.that 10hp can be gained mod wise
Is the zzr a highly modifiable bike?
also..
zzr>katana? performance wise
Between the gixxer, R6, CBR, ZX6, and ZZR...I would get them in this order...HP and speed wise, what am I looking at with a zzr600. I am having cold feet because I am suppose to go sign for this 07 tomorrow, but am having second thoughts thinking I will not like it seeing as I have been riding bikes such as gsxr and r6's and whatnot
Close, but not exactly. It is the same bike as the '02 ZX-6r except it does not have the front fairing stay, and different paint options. Other than that the bikes are identical, geometry included.The ZZR600 is the '01 ZX-6R with higher handle bars. it has 111hp and weighs 377lbs.
