I am looking to get a 2006 zx 6...have some questions... whats the history, lets say in the past few years with performance, is it even with its class, atop?... also how about the reliability, is it a bike that lasts long? the shelf life...before it breaks down and dies...i am a novice and dont know a whole lot. Anything would help! Finally what about the overall package how does it stack up to say a suzuki gsx 6 for example, or the honda cbr 6?

 

They have about the most power and torque in their class, they have won many races, the motorcycle magazines are always raving about it. What's there not to like?

 

you think i should post this in the ninja zx6 forums, so I can get more feedback?

might not be a bad idea

 

your getting a kinda biased opinion, same if you asked this question in a gixxer forum, all the gixxer peeps would say the gixxer is the best and the ninja sucks bla bla bla. i do think the r6 sucks, the gixxer is not bad at all but the ninja just has them all beat.

 

well i figured that

 

Here's a question... why's the gixxer called the gixxer? I had assumed it was just a bad attempt at pronouncing GSX as a word or something.

 

gsxr sounds like gixxer if it were a word. i guess, as long as i can remember it was referred to as a gixxer.
