Side on it looks at it's worst. You've got the 3/4 angle shots there magic1.

A bit like a big nosed celeb who only wants front-on photos :D

had a go of a baby blade (600) today 08 one back to back with a zx6r

the baby blade was really tight and compact ... loadsa grunt for a 6 but loses a tiny bit at the top

the zx6r was gutless below 10 thou .... but fook me this thing revs to 20 grand and boy does it fly ones you work the bollox of it....

stilll though , I fooking love my ten .... it rocks  :headbang: Lazy power all the way  [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]

Two of my pals have got the new blades, I just dont like them, front end is ugly and I hate the exhaust.  One of them already has a few warrantly claims in so not the normal honda quality !

The ZX6R is loads of fun Glenn, stop being so lazy and get a real bike  [rofl]

yeah its unreal honest .... I don;t think I could have one on the road though I love the power of the ten ..... its insane compared to the 6's of today ....

really you need to sample its power.... next trackday we're on togther take me track beast out and then you will see what 90% of this forum is on about.......

I am considering a gixxer 750 for track now..... maybe .... a big maybe ...... as I just love my ten so much  :emb:

I'll probably be slower on the 10r than i will be on my 600.  And I prob wont be able to touch the ground so you'll have to catch me when i come back into the pits  [rofl]

The 750 would be an excellent track bike.... might see about that next year  :-P
