worth the price of admission

**Mr.Ed** · 18-09-2013, 06:11 PM

Hope you didn't change the chain to fit the sprockets since the OEM chain is 520 anyway...

Thanks Ed, I actually noticed that just in time!

**Little Mick** · 18-09-2013, 07:53 PM

should be a quick sale Nick....not many zx6rs around and not race prepped at that price... now if someone was only selling a bazzaz it would be a rocket!

**Marshy** · 18-09-2013, 08:02 PM

Sold just now (pending payment) to a TARMAC member

No, not a western union/paypal jobbie, but a mate. I'll let him say something, but I'm pretty sure you knew he was looking.

**senator8** · 18-09-2013, 08:40 PM

Looks like ill have to get a 600 at some point

Yes!!

**Mr.Ed** · 18-09-2013, 08:48 PM

After watching your recent videos, I reckon you should get a gsxr600... say, bone stock K1?

**senator8** · 18-09-2013, 09:21 PM

Would it be less than my stock 96 750? They won't let me race that in the 600s or I would

I reckon the 750 would still be faster... especially YOUR 750!

What's wrong with MY 750? Is it cause its pretty?

**dan** · 18-09-2013, 10:48 PM

Congrats on the sale, and to whoever bought it. Definitely a monster!

**Mr.Ed** · 19-09-2013, 02:14 AM

You mean 'pretty fast' right?!

Pretty much man, I mean, now I'm on a smaller capacity, I can always pull the "well you've got the horsepower" excuse when you go faster haha

Bought a 600? More like... I bought a Kawasaki! haha I'm still a Suzuki man, but Marshy it is a top bloke and his bike looks like a great starting point.

Pretty old and soft it may be Nick. But that's for another forum.
Congrats Grant. I don't want any excuses that I may have already used. New ones may be acceptable once only

**Marshy** · 19-09-2013, 09:22 AM

**Marshy** · 19-09-2013, 10:20 AM

I'm disturbed by this. I don't want to know what you searched for in google to find this image.

**Little Mick** · 19-09-2013, 12:24 PM

stoked for you Grant!! you wont be dissapointed - just remember it is a 600 and not a litre, so you gotta use the whole bike

Marshy - are you disturbed by the image? or the fact that baddie found your hiding place?

**Mr.Ed** · 19-09-2013, 01:53 PM

Sweeeeeeeet choice, Grant!!!!!! Welcome to the green side!

You're lucky Marshy didn't get to ride the bike or he would have charged you more for it hahahaha

I remember when I got mine and everyone was like "Did you sell your R6 for a ZX6R???" and now look at us!

**Marshy** · 19-09-2013, 03:03 PM

Dammit!! I've made a big mistake....!

I'm still reserving my glowing green judgement on this machine until I get to ride it in anger haha... p.s... I've always been cool man.

Let's not talk about that night Marshy, we had a few drinks, Broadford gets cold, it happened ok... hahaha

Good! But reserve judgement for at least 3 sessions... you're more likely to hate to it than love it after the first one!

**senator8** · 19-09-2013, 04:03 PM

Mmmm! Zx6 or r6? Choices choices.
I think I'll give the k1 a miss thanks Ed. I've already got a Suzuki

Are you talking about my ever reliable (touchwood) unofficial championship winning Suzuki?

I can't fault the old girl, and what a hard worker. I'm so attached to that bike.
Just needs a little more horsepower to stay with the big boys at the Barry Sheene event.

Maybe I should build a 600 SRAD. I've got all the parts less the 600 motor.

Cheers man, yeah hopefully I can just get on and be at peace with it. Fingers crossed... then racing.

There's still life in that old 750 man...

But 600 SRAD? Computer says NO uleh!

**Mr.Ed** · 19-09-2013, 04:15 PM

No ZX6R for you, Rick... sorry! Maybe get a CBR600RR if you're looking for something a bit newer... say, '03?

**Little Mick** · 19-09-2013, 04:50 PM

I have a nice R6 Rick

Sorry Dan, but the verdict is in. Nothing we can do about it; you'll just have to upgrade

All these haters ... we both know Dan, the SRADs rule! Suzy club's gotta stick together ... wanna share a garage ... and possibly spare parts ...

**Marshy** · 24-09-2013, 07:43 PM

Quick update. It looks muuuuuch better with the mid-pipe on. Did some stickers to customise it for the new owner. The front numbers were too big for the available space, so I just stuck them on the screen for giggles. I'm cutting smaller ones for the proper side area.
