2009 zx-6r
Ok, so I go into the dealer on Friday to kick around some tires and while I'm looking ant the 2009 gixxers the ZX-6R caught my eye. Have you guys seen the new ZX-6R? Holy shit, this is a nice looking bike and after reading the specs, this bad boy id putting out 132hp (at the crank of course). The exhaust looks way restrictive, but a full system, BMC filter, and a power commander with a custom map, could have that thing breathing right and screaming 120+hp at the wheel.

Biggest news is the BPF (Big Piston Forks) front suspension. The new design theory is only available on the new ZX6 and the GSXR1000. Looks to be a great system.
Total engine redesign should make it (once derestricted for US noise emissions) the strongest 600 cc mill plus it has retained much of its positive handling traits from the last gen model. Yeah I think it will be killer....

you know you can still benefit from some of the tech right? did you see the thread i posted about how the dual bore velocity stacks ought to bolt on to older bikes? they still arent listed on BB but they oughtta be cheap when they do show up
