Once you ride one, you will understand. Just ask Owen, who rode Steve's R6 on the weekend, and raved about it compared to his gixxer!!
+1,000,000 Totally agree!! So much fun the R6, top bike! I'm planning to sell my K7 750 very soon and cross over. Thanks for the ride Spilly!
First session/hot lap I was easing equaling my 750 times and I came off with the biggest grin on my face. Dan is right too, they DO go to 11!
