Hey guys & gals,
So I'm thrilled to say that I picked up my new ZX-6R yesterday and rode it home for it's very first 10 miles! It was cold as hell and my hands were blocks of ice (despite gloves) by the time I got home but DAMN did it feel good to get in that first ride of the year. I'm moving up from a 1995 so the combination of weight reduction and fuel injection really made it such a different beast.
My first question to any 2007-2008 ZX-6R riders is this. I'm a pretty tall and light guy (6'1 150lbs), and it seems to me that I'm sitting a little too high on the seat. With my old zx-6 I could get my feet flat on the ground at a stop, but with the 2008 I can't. This may just be 14 years of design improvements at work but If it's something I should adjust in the suspension I'm going to consider it. The guys at the shop didnt ask for my height/weight to set it up exactly for my body style so I assume it's really just a factory setup.
It's right back in the garage now for the next few weeks until the air warms up a bit and the roads clear off. Pics to come of both the new bike and the old as it is for sale.
