Defo loving the arrow exhaust, the front looks mean but love bikes like that.

Next one for me will probably be a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.

Had 3 bikes back in the day but decided i needed to drive so stopped riding.

The Arrow exhaust is awesome, 130mph round Brands hatch sounds like this > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpAFXSXE7ds

I rode the 2011 ZX6R and hated it, NO 600 sports bike touches the Daytona if im completely honest

What about the R6? The Suzuki GSXR600? Honda CBR600F?

I like the Kawasaki ZX-12R but that literally is a killing machine! The R1 is common a muck, triumphs you dont see many around and they look smart.

The new BMW sports bike looks nice also.

The CBR600F assuming you mean the new one, is not a sports bike, its a Hornet with fairings basically

The CBR600RR is ok but its got no low down power so nothing happens until 8000rpm and above by which time you are doing silly speeds, same for the R6, both are fine if u are on a track and ringing their necks.

The Gixxer is so out of date now, not for me at all

The ZX12 and S1000RR are too much for the road, not useable at all...........

The grunt that the triple engine in mine gives me the best of both worlds, 170mph but enough torque that at 30mph in 6th she'll still pull............

trust me mate, i rode the other first then got on the Daytona and that was that, i had to have her

I agree!

Speed isnt everything unless you have the right driver/rider.
