Drove a 2008 R6 at the weekend and now wished I didn't Bloody mad machine some power But now my fzr250 just feels slow But on the other hand bit harder to loose your licence on the fizzer
totally agree, I have a CBR600 which is about 109hp, the Yammie R6 has 124hp, the new breed of 600's have some serious horses, I think the new ZX636 has 130hp on tap. In saying that, you get to enjoy the Fizzer as it meant to be ridden, ie above 12,000 rpm without loosing your licence ( potentially) , do that on R6 Im sure Johnny Law will take a photo or 2 then ask that you ride the bus for an agreed period .
The 600 range of bikes today are awesome , so much power on hand. But if you are after a rush!! you cant go past the 4 cylinder 250cc as they pass 10,000rpm's heading to 18 to 19k redline. The sound, the adrenalin rush is hard to pass up, it's pure pleasure.
Phil, i could not agree more, - I was actually seriously considering an R6 08' ^ model for my second bike, but after reasoning with myself i come to a conclusion its total overkill! and when i did myself a favor and jumped on a ZXR250A for a test run i could not wipe the stupid grin off my face. loads of adrenaline from the get-go. turned heads too which is also fun, a couple of pedestrians looked over the shoulder when i was accelerating up the road, the looks on their faces was priceless
