Thought I would have a change, had the R6 for 4 weeks and I'm well pleased and I don't miss the Duk at all. If anyone is thinking of a change then try the R6.

[twpd]

I tried one. Lots of revs, no torque, gutless even if it's fast. The strange thing is that it develops less torque than the older bike - it only develops more power due to gazillions of revs. It's ok if you like that sort of thing but, a 749 (or a 675) would leave it for dead on anything but the longest straight.

Even the rags like PB say the same thing...which is illuminating to say the least and not what I would expect.

Enjoy - it's not for me.

sounds interesting, what did you test for and how did you do it? According PB magazine a ZX6R is quicker round their track than a 999 and an RSVR1000

The 6 year old 748RS and the 675 looked to be holding their own, not what I would call getting smoked
