2006 Kawasaki ZX-6R

It's pretty nice but ultimately it's

just a place holder for this season.

I'm waiting to see how the ZX-14

and the GSX-1300R square off in

magazines for the 2007 line-up.

I'll be selling this and trading up

to something a little quicker.

that one is bad ass.

I'd say you get a 10R, the 10R looks way better than the new ZX-14, 14's way to fast and heavy IMHO. :D

I accepted long ago that apart from straight line acceleration and top speed there's no way I'll ever be able to push the limits of any modern sport-bike; the performance improvements that a ZX-10R or R1 just aren't something I'm at a skill level to really notice.

I came close to getting the 10R this year actually (I prefer the way the lights integrated better) but it didn't address my biggest complaint about either Ninjas: No under-seat storage worth mentioning. I'm not asking for much - just enough to toss my license, phone, and gloves when I'm not riding. Given my general inability to push a bike on the twisties I felt that the $1,000 more it would have cost for the 10R was better spent on better quality boots, gloves, and pants. The Suzuki has boatloads of storage in contrast and I figure they'll have a pretty solid response to Kawasaki available in 2007.

Straight line drag racing is something I can handle fairly well so the larger engines of the 1300R/ZX-14 are something I'll actually be able to make use of. When I'm not going to for track-days I'll be heading to and from work on the freeway - a 300kg bike (including me) might travel a little nicer in freeway traffic.

I've still got a year to figure it all out, a lot can happen in that time. Plus I'll want to get out and actually try some of these damn things too: specs on paper are nice for impressing my co-workers but what really matters is how it feels when you ride.

    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
