I like my R1 better than my R6 on the street...period.

I'm mostly joking....

My CBR is a big heavy fatty and I should have gone with a GSR-750 as it weighs WAY less.

yup...
CBR: 439 lbs (Includes all standard equipment, required fluids and full tank of fuel--ready to ride.)
gsxr: 437 lbs (Includes all standard equipment, required fluids and full tank of fuel--ready to ride.)

Its is gsxr-750 when you slur your words.
Thought it was pretty obvious.

04 gix 750 was the funnest bike I've ever ridden......It wasn't all that flickable, but the stability was awesome, the intake noise was awesome, and above all, its stretched-out riding position made it feel awesome in sweepers because you could feel yourself countersteering more so than most bikes where you are just hovering over the bars.

Lots of rumors flying around the ducati camp about 2011...

Very obvious when hubby and I are out riding. He pulls away like nothing, unless I'm revving to the moon.

Not to mention, except for the Honda, they all have those STUPID dual exhausts.

Liters might be heavier by number but my 600 compared to hubby's 1000 feels like a freaking pig to move around.

Seems like 04-05 for any manufacturer was one of the best couple years and from there they went down hill.

Agreed. Hubby disliked his 07 ZX10 very much. He is much happier on the 05 now.

Might be a ride height or tire issue. I had an 03 zx6rr like yours, and didn't notice anything unusual.

motorcyclist is only showing a 10lb difference between a 04 636 and a 04 zx10.

i know the bike in question is the limited edition zx6-rr but is there a weight difference between it and the bigger bore model?

Gen 1s are BEASTS.
