Well, I've been riding my ZX-6RR for a little over 500 miles and I have to say that for the long haul, it's a little uncomfortable. This by no means is a comfortable bike, but if you compare it to other sports bikes, I guess it's no different. The riding position is very VERY aggresive (well duh it is a racing bike), the seat position tends to push you towards the tank. Therefore, you find yourself, repositioning yourself in the seat, unless (like someone else on the forum said) you like getting an inverted wedgie! And if you hit some bumps in the road while you're up against the tank, you may get a little surprise, :shock: OUCH!!!!!
At highway speeds I find myself crouching down as low as possible, but the short windshield makes of a lot of wind turbulance around my helmet.
The bike is very nimble, very light for a 600CC bike and the power is awesome!! I guess the best features of the bike are: 1) the Quick Handling, very responsive, predictable and the bike feels solid! 2) the Power, awesome power, 3) the Freakin Awesome Brakes! I can't get over how good the brakes are! 4) the styling! This bike will make people notice you, specially if you have a ZX-6RR, it only comes in Kawasaki Racing Green! 5) the great gas mileage, I'm getting around 43 MPG, that sure beats my Surburban at 16 MPG!
In short, other than the riding position being a little too aggresive (but then again this is a racing bike) :roll: I LOVE THIS BIKE!!
By the way I'm 44, so a lot of my complaints come from being just plain old! And I ride it to work every day, well when the weather is good! 26 miles round trip.
Anyway I hope this helps!!
