don't forget the 650 also - it has a more upright seating position than the zzr
welcome to KF! thats true about the seating position, but i cant go no longer than a hour or so before my a$$ starts going numb, but maybe its just me... lets us know wat u get and post sum pics!

Welcome to KF!! I would go with the ZZR. You can always take it easy but you know the power is there. And it is the most comfortable sportbike I have sat on. And the nicest looking! (can you tell I just bought one?) I was really suprised when I rode it. I was only able to put 6 miles on it the day I bought it but it seemed like I've been riding it for a while.

Vic, can't wait for the ride report!!!
