I would have to agree

Love that paint scheme.

Also loved the k3

I'm really loving the new L2. They finally fixed the goofy side panels with a clean look.

My only complaint with this generation is other than the blue and white 2013, all of them have the nose a different color. It's stupid but it drives me nuts. It's a big part of why I picked a 13

Man if I had the cash I'd get a newer gsxr no contest. The bikes I am considering all kinda fit the price range I'm looking for.

Really leaning on an r6 to be honest. Gotta sit on one first though, can anyone confirm or deny that they are as thin as people say? Would it be feel thinner then my sv650s?

I sat on a 2013 R6 in a Yamaha dealership today when buying glove liners. It felt kinda wide between my legs especially compared to the FZ6R, as well as 2015's FZ-07 and FZ-09. Apples and oranges in regards to styles between the handful. I don't have any experience with 600's so I can't compare them to the other bikes you mentioned. I'd imagine it'd feel wider on your inseam with your feet on the ground than the SV but will be fine with your feet on the pegs.

I'm on a Kawi 500.

It would feel lighter and thinner then the gixxer for sure

Thanks. The red stripe annoys me too but it will be gone for next season.

I would go for gixxer, but go 98+750 or 01+ 600 so you get fuel injection

yeah I wasnt considering FI before as an issue, but yeah i really dont want to be messing around with carbs, especially since i ride pretty late into the season. So i guess that cuts the zx6r off the list (sick looking jike for that year imo)
