Cons - old, slower than newer bikes, even with mods.

2005 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R

Pros: super comfortable seat, quick as hell, easy to flick into turns
Cons: none, as long as you don't ride with 700 and greater displacement bikes.
(edit) Hard to find a good looking exhaust because of the undertail design. Right now only the Akrapovic looks nice and has a good sound, but I can't justify paying $550 for a muffler.

* I rode with a couple GSX-R 750s and a 1000 this past weekend and I got blitzed on the straights.

That bike is pure sex! I love that color!

I read somewhere that the ZX6R is one of the fastest out. A GSX-R 750 will take you on the straights?

It's one of the fastest 600's.
