2006 Kawasaki ZX-6R

It's pretty nice but ultimately it's

just a place holder for this season.

I'm waiting to see how the ZX-14

and the GSX-1300R square off in

magazines for the 2007 line-up.

I'll be selling this and trading up

to something a little quicker.

that one is bad ass.

I'd say you get a 10R, the 10R looks way better than the new ZX-14, 14's way to fast and heavy IMHO. :D

I accepted long ago that apart from straight line acceleration and top speed there's no way I'll ever be able to push the limits of any modern sport-bike; the performance improvements that a ZX-10R or R1 just aren't something I'm at a skill level to really notice.

I came close to getting the 10R this year actually (I prefer the way the lights integrated better) but it didn't address my biggest complaint about either Ninjas: No under-seat storage worth mentioning. I'm not asking for much - just enough to toss my license, phone, and gloves when I'm not riding. Given my general inability to push a bike on the twisties I felt that the $1,000 more it would have cost for the 10R was better spent on better quality boots, gloves, and pants. The Suzuki has boatloads of storage in contrast and I figure they'll have a pretty solid response to Kawasaki available in 2007.

Straight line drag racing is something I can handle fairly well so the larger engines of the 1300R/ZX-14 are something I'll actually be able to make use of. When I'm not going to for track-days I'll be heading to and from work on the freeway - a 300kg bike (including me) might travel a little nicer in freeway traffic.

I've still got a year to figure it all out, a lot can happen in that time. Plus I'll want to get out and actually try some of these damn things too: specs on paper are nice for impressing my co-workers but what really matters is how it feels when you ride.

It ain't much but it gets me from point A to point B, and it looks and drives a hell of a lot nicer than the Grand Am it replaced.

My pretty standard 1995 Fiat Punto 1.2 (75 SX)

Had it for about a week now, and quite like it. It's not a huge performer, but it has a nice kick in the lower gears, and it doesn't look that bad :-P

2004 Smart Roadster-Coupe. Brilliant handling car, not too powerful, but it can keep up with most things on a twisty back road.

Only semi-decent picture I have of it ATM.
