I definately see your point, and if I still had the 9r it would be
no question. I should be able to get used to their bikes fairly
quickly, as my current bike is a '98 ZX6e and my other bike was a
'99 ZX9r, both bike I have logged over 14,000 miles. I believe they
are using '98 [or newer] ZX6r, but I completely agree that the
engines throttle responce, chasey balance and all will still be
different.


So here is where I am comflicted, on the ZX6e, I will be on probably
the slowest bike there, so immediate hit to the ego. But am I there
for the ego or the riding experience? (the correct answer is the
later)


So basically with your help I think I am going to sign up for it
and ride the 6. And yes, getting a ST is still in the plans.

thanks,
Thom
