Welcome to KF.
1: Don't pay full retail
2: Make them give you stuff, ie delivery, extended warranty, helmet, jacket.
3: Make sure that you let them know that they aren't the only game in town even if they are.

See if you can find a new '07 ZX6R... the year model will make a difference in the price. Also, +1 on shinobi's quote. When you get it, make sure you take the MSF course. It's a great program. And ignore the moles... they just never outgrew riding minibikes.

"Yes" to all of the above, except the KLX thing. I don't have anything against duals or dirtbikes, (I enjoy doing the dirt, too,) but they're definitely not streetbikes. The ZX-6 sounds like what you're after. Go for it.
But, whatever you ride, always keep your head in the game; don't do stupid crap.

I just bought a KLX250 so you should too. J/K. Not really...
I do however tend to follow the dictum that "it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow."
Buy the bike that moves you.
