My bike isn't happy UNLESS it's at 10-12K RPM, which is sees on the track and sometimes (not very often or for very long) on the street.
I saw the 03 ZX6RR at the bike show and really liked it, but wasn't ready for a 600 at that point. When I did start looking, that was the bike I compared everything else to, so I knew it was the one for me.
Fast forward 1-1/2 years. Without sitting on it, or seeing in person I ordered the 04. I went based solely on my gut that this was THE ONE.
A friend had the 636 he let me ride thinking it would be the same only to find out they are very different. Even still it confirmed that I made the right choice.
One of the many reasons I was drawn to the 600 was because it was a limited production bike, so it was going to be unique.
Price wasn't really a factor since it was the most expensive 600 on the market at that time. But each and every time I ride it, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I won't be selling any time soon because I know nothing out today would make me as happy. Plus it's paid for!
