R6 is going

[zx636]

I have finally decided to trade in the R6. One year on after my accident my shoulder is still giving me problems, even after all the physio, and I find riding a sportsbike for more than half an hour a real pain. So off goes a 1yr old, mint R6 with only 2000 miles on the clock, yep thats all I managed since last January.

I have been using a friends z1000 while he is on holiday at her majestys pleasure and I find the riding position fine but the 1000 is real OTT. It just begs you to be a nutter.

I have tested the 600 fazer, 650 bandit, hornet and the z750 and am going for the z750 as it seemed to suit my riding style better.
So its ordered and I am picking it up next Saturday. Its a 2006 and I got over £600 off the price.

anyone here riding a Z750?

Sorry to hear you're losing the R6. Nice bikes, but I guess if it's not comfortable, there's no point in just looking at it.

I considered the z750 when I wrote the ER5 off, but I got a Bandit instead.

I like the look and the engine size would probably suit me a bit better. I'm now gunning for a GSX1400.

Hope you enjoy the Kwak!

Really like the look of them myself, what colour?

I saw a 1000 and 750 in a showroom today, the 1000 had a much nicer finish to it.

I am sorry to see the R6 go but there is no point in having it if i cant ride it.

I have opted for the black Z750, I didnt like the silver, looked naff and as for orange..... Pity they dont do the 750 in the 1000 titanium colour as that does look good. I think its the 1000's pipes and polished wheels that make the finish look better.

I found the 750's only downside was the front forks but then only if you were really pushing it and the rear suspension is a bit hard and needs winding down a bit if you dont want to leave the seat at every bump in the road. The front forks can actually be replaced with 636 forks so something to think about if it bothers me that much.
The power delivery is great and where its needed, certainly didnt need as much changing throught the box as the R6 but then its horses for courses i suppose.

What did you make of the seat? It's the only thing I've read bad about the bike really, claims of it being uncomfortable and pushing you into the tank.

Coming from a sportsbike, especially the R6 ,I found no problem with the seat at all even after almost 2 hours. I could actually walk.
