Right, that is a list of my bikes of choice ready for when I am allowed to return to riding.

Now, this will be upon the date of my insurance payout coming through, and will probably be in the winter time when I may get a better deal!

Litre bikes aint in there as I am 18, and I have had a cbr600rr till it was written off, and found the power to be good. If I was to buy a 400 the top end/accel would be too lacking for trackday's.

ZX6R is favorite at the mo due to looks and also due to piossible midrage abilities, but afterwards an R6 or GSXR would be accepted. Of course this would be dependant upon the dealers having these bikes, and of course on me being able to find equal or better insurance than before.

So any body know anything gd/bad about these bikes?

Best give that a go!

And Joe, his insurance will be paying out as it was his fault and he has accepted the blame!

The bit about 400's on the track was because at Snett on the RR I was getting caught behind R1's and GSXR600's on the straights because the throttle pinned on a 600rr wasnt enough!

Round snetterton you really feel the power disadvantage though.

A 400 would decimate a more technical track like cadwell.

Never ridden any of the bikes you're talking about. Although I ride with a GSX-r 2001 SRAD 600, and it gets whooped on power by the ZX6-r of a similar era. Although the gearing seems to be lower.

Personally I don't like the looks of the Kwak, love the looks and power of the R6 and thing the gixxer is a bit cliche'd.

I've got a B1h and have to say it's a great bike. You can get one for just under £4k which is great value.

The B1 Kwaks are the sexiest ones they've made thats for sure. They almost seem underated compared to the 600RR's, Gixxer and R6's etc.

P.S. Get a Black one! (Looks sexy but the greens ones are faster!)

no a GSXR750 does
Smile The perfect package, the power of a near litre bike, in a 600 frame.
Very Happy
