i definitely agree.

the K6 600s and 750s looks so much sexier than the 1000s.

Hey Verm from what I have heard the shifter on the K6 Gixxer 600 and 750 can easily be converted to GP shift.

congrats on the new bike.

thanks

and yeah, they say the 750 offers the best of both worlds.

has enough manueverability like a 600 and has enough power like a 1000.

i bet i'll enjoy it more than my previous 1000. :)

What are the specs on that bike (because I'm too lazy to find them myself)?

i dunno, the salesguy told me it has about 140 hp. i dunno about the torque.

oh and they're actually a good dealer.

they asked me if it's gonna be my 1st bike.

i said nope, and then i told him i had a 1000 as a 1st bike and he was surprised but he probably figured it's ok to sell to me a 750 at this point. :laughing:

also, i overheard one of the salesrep actually saying it's better to start small.

It is good to see you back now that you have a reason to talk about yourself.

Nice bike.
