| Michael,
I had a zx6r which I was happy with but had always wanted a Ducati, in the end I went for a 996 mainly because I found a good one for sale locally.
Have a test ride on one, the riding position is... focused - you will either love it or hate it... personally, I can't get enough of it. When I get back on a friend's zx6r it feels so upright, almost like a tourer!
Good luck |
