Mate I love 'em ... and if I had to choose again, I'd probably be on the ZX6R right now. But given the works I've done on the RR, it's just the way I want it ... is it worth changing over just yet?

like the top one. The white sets it off and blends the blinker in too.

I also have a soft spot for team green have owned a number of them GPZ550, GPZ750, GPZ750 turbo, GPZ900R, ZZR1000. I do like the ZX6R even if they did go a little backwards as a complete package for awhile but the latest is really starting to perform you only have to watch WSS to know that.

Limited edition and Black look really good.
Not 100% sure on the green, orange should look good as well.
As per usual, The pipe really cleans up the look

Is there any other bike to love?

*Oggy*

Its the pick of the new 600's IMHO.... They seemed to have gotten it just right, and after sitting on one, It fits me like a glove.

Then again I think the ZX10 is the best looking litre bike and nearly bought one of those when they came out.

Im a fan. Saw the monster version a few weeks back, it looked very nice.

Funny how once one bike went for the short side mount, they all go that way for the muffler, be interesting to see if the next 600RR has that side mount or sticks with the undertail.

I'v got one of the '09 monster edition zx6's and am seriously thinking about putting a black seat on it.....Get's dirty real quick!

Other than that they are one hot bike....I had an '07 zx6r and these are no comparison....HUGE midrange!!!

The bracket looks very plain and looks like something last minute without much thought. Why is it silver? it shouldn't be drawing your attention.

stetto

I reckon the full carbon akra pipe looks the best on them

That looks great .
I have the Jardine on the 06 R6 , looks very similar and isn't to loud at all , actually think my 01 GSX-R with the Yoshi is louder .

If you can find it Captain,I can't find it at the moment but the Racefit growler is by far the HOTTEST looking exhaust IMO....

Oh and the LV is UGLY!

Oh and the LV is UGLY!
LOL, fits right in with the rest of the crap..( aftermarkets cans here)..
Why on earth anyone would want something that will draw so much attention to themselves by being so loud is beyond me ( please dont try the, its not loud bullshit with me).
Ive gutted my cans and fit with a baffle kit, fuck that, bought some stock ones to refit and admit I f'd up by even thinking that!

Note on exhaust tips; the tapered exhaust tip that you see like the Leo Vince actually has a purpose. The tapered exhaust tip has to do with maintaining exhaust gas velocities, drawing them away from the engine (much the same as an expansion chamber on a two stroke). The length of the tip is also important. A manufacturer that does their job correctly will tune the tip as well as the headers; this means varying the length of the tip and each head section untill it is harmonically tuned. When a tip and header is tuned the resonance of the exhaust leaving the tip also has a resonant note that flows back up the exhaust system. A properly tuned tip and header will ensure that the resonant note hits the heads when the valves are all shut. If the note hits the head when a valve is open, it slows the exhaust gases from escaping the head.

I also like this small exhaust

+1 on both. I would prefer this scheme for the track, but I prefer Stettos sigpic for road visibility and probably with a decent fruity can. Hey if people can see and hear you they may not hit into you:ayyy:

Black is a bitch to keep clean,and scratches easy:mad:.....

Try Motorex Protect and shine. It hides the small scratches and brings the Black up with a really deep lustre. Very impressive product.

Dunno about that, I had a white bike getting on dark time, head light on, bright blue/orange and white jacket, Arata system under power to get through lights, and some dopey slut still didn't see or hear me. Haha
