This disappoints me. The ZX-6R is SUCH a foxy bike...

All of them have their charm :D!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Do you really think you are going to notice the little things that bother them so much that the bike explodes into a tremendous pile of POS?

The bike I want next they all complain that its so calm, and smooth and unexciting. Gee. If I sneeze the chances are better that it won't flip me over backwards, how dull.

Wasn't it the previous gen kawi, the 636 that was hot "poo poo" and the new one actually lost power?

+1000 to reading the stickies, please. They're full of reasonable, sensible advice for a first bike purchase. Being a newbie myself, I was severely tempted to go the 600cc supersport route, not really having a great deal of knowledge on the different classes of motorcycle available, and thinking a 600cc sportbike was a reasonable and safe choice.

I've never regretted eventually getting a middleweight standard. Much easier to learn on, less likely to get one in trouble, and versatile enough for all kinds of riding (touring, commuting, filtering through traffic, twisties, etc.)
