Hi, sounds like you have had plenty of joy with bikes.
Can't give you thoughts on that lid, not familiar with it.
I am interested in your bikes though, how did you rate the move from the CBR to the ZX6R?
I am in the market for a 600 sports and both of those bikes are in favour with me. What are your experiences on build / maintanance / useability between the two?
Cheers for now, safe riding!

Hi ya Flying Kiwi,

To be honest its a close call, although I favour the ZX6. When giving the bike some stick through the gears I found the CBR gear change to be very clunky, where as the ZX6 was a lot smoother.
I also favoured the ZX6 riding position, on long runs the ZX6 was a lot more comfortable.
As for handling, no real difference, both easy to pop up on the back wheel and easy to control. I found the ZX6 to be a little unpredictable at times (but again fun) !!!!.
Maintenance I would favour the CBR, Panels easy to remove, filters ect easy access.
Just 1 more thing to add, when I got the VFR750, I loved it, comfort, speed, handling, maintenance, fun, wheelie-ability control :devil: , great bike.
Am looking at getting rid of my Transalp ( my mate just passed his test so he is looking for a bike, im talking him into buying my Transalp) and getting the new VFR750, i will keep you updated.
