does anybody think I could get my kneedown on my ZX-6R if I were to lean over that far at that speed? I tried once but it was like just touch the knee down and stand the bike up again before it fell on me I would like to get more low speed confidence in my bike and thats exactly one of the things that would teach me confidence. I would like to do low speed manouvres like that

Should be find doing getting your knee down at that speed. A few of use occasionaly go and play at some local roundabouts; the smallest one means you can get your knee down in a circle with a diameter of about 4 or 5 meters maybe.

The California Superbike school has a similar device, but the arms can move up and down on dampers. The idea is that you can find the limits of grip when getting the power down while still leant over, with no risk of low siding and a reduced risk of high siding.
Definitely something I'd like to have a go on, however you only get it the third time you do a course with them I think.
