worth the price of admission

**Mr.Ed** · 18-09-2013, 06:11 PM

Hope you didn't change the chain to fit the sprockets since the OEM chain is 520 anyway...

Thanks Ed, I actually noticed that just in time!

**Little Mick** · 18-09-2013, 07:53 PM

should be a quick sale Nick....not many zx6rs around and not race prepped at that price... now if someone was only selling a bazzaz it would be a rocket!

**Marshy** · 18-09-2013, 08:02 PM

Sold just now (pending payment) to a TARMAC member

No, not a western union/paypal jobbie, but a mate. I'll let him say something, but I'm pretty sure you knew he was looking.

**senator8** · 18-09-2013, 08:40 PM

Looks like ill have to get a 600 at some point

**Mr.Ed** · 18-09-2013, 08:48 PM

After watching your recent videos, I reckon you should get a gsxr600... say, bone stock K1?

**senator8** · 18-09-2013, 09:21 PM

Would it be less than my stock 96 750? They won't let me race that in the 600s or I would

**dan** · 18-09-2013, 10:48 PM

Congrats on the sale, and to whoever bought it. Definitely a monster!

I reckon the 750 would still be faster... especially YOUR 750!

What's wrong with MY 750? Is it cause its pretty?

**Mr.Ed** · 19-09-2013, 02:14 AM

You mean 'pretty fast' right?!

**Marshy** · 19-09-2013, 08:52 AM

MIIIIIIIIIINE!

Marshy is top bloke (much respect)... See all you lads at the next track day... or something like that... I'm just super keen to get back out there, I'm shaking with excitement, and I haven't even booked a day yet! haha

Pretty much man, I mean, now I'm on a smaller capacity, I can always pull the "well you've got the horsepower" excuse when you go faster haha

**Stu23** · 19-09-2013, 08:57 AM

you have bought a 600 !! and I always thought you were a litre bike guy

no excuses now, wring its neck and enjoy

**senator8** · 19-09-2013, 09:19 AM

Pretty old and soft it may be Nick. But that's for another forum.
Congrats Grant. I don't want any excuses that I may have already used. New ones may be acceptable once only

**Marshy** · 19-09-2013, 09:22 AM

Bought a 600? More like... I bought a Kawasaki! haha I'm still a Suzuki man, but Marshy it is a top bloke and his bike looks like a great starting point.

I'm disturbed by this. I don't want to know what you searched for in google to find this image.

**Little Mick** · 19-09-2013, 12:24 PM

stoked for you Grant!! you wont be dissapointed - just remember it is a 600 and not a litre, so you gotta use the whole bike

Marshy - are you disturbed by the image? or the fact that baddie found your hiding place?

**Mr.Ed** · 19-09-2013, 01:53 PM

Sweeeeeeeet choice, Grant!!!!!! Welcome to the green side!

You're lucky Marshy didn't get to ride the bike or he would have charged you more for it hahahaha

I remember when I got mine and everyone was like "Did you sell your R6 for a ZX6R???" and now look at us!

**Marshy** · 19-09-2013, 03:03 PM

Dammit!! I've made a big mistake....!

I'm still reserving my glowing green judgement on this machine until I get to ride it in anger haha... p.s... I've always been cool man.

Let's not talk about that night Marshy, we had a few drinks, Broadford gets cold, it happened ok... hahaha

Good! But reserve judgement for at least 3 sessions... you're more likely to hate to it than love it after the first one!

**senator8** · 19-09-2013, 04:03 PM

Mmmm! Zx6 or r6? Choices choices.
I think I'll give the k1 a miss thanks Ed. I've already got a Suzuki

**Mr.Ed** · 19-09-2013, 04:15 PM

No ZX6R for you, Rick... sorry! Maybe get a CBR600RR if you're looking for something a bit newer... say, '03?

**Little Mick** · 19-09-2013, 04:50 PM

I have a nice R6 Rick

Will definitely have fun on that green machine

Will see you out on the next 600 race!

Are you talking about my ever reliable (touchwood) unofficial championship winning Suzuki?

I can't fault the old girl, and what a hard worker. I'm so attached to that bike.
Just needs a little more horsepower to stay with the big boys at the Barry Sheene event.

Maybe I should build a 600 SRAD. I've got all the parts less the 600 motor.

There's still life in that old 750 man...

But 600 SRAD? Computer says NO uleh!

**dan** · 21-09-2013, 10:25 PM

Hey hey leave 600 SRADs alone!

Sorry Dan, but the verdict is in. Nothing we can do about it; you'll just have to upgrade

All these haters ... we both know Dan, the SRADs rule! Suzy club's gotta stick together ... wanna share a garage ... and possibly spare parts ...

**Marshy** · 24-09-2013, 07:43 PM

Quick update. It looks muuuuuch better with the mid-pipe on. Did some stickers to customise it for the new owner. The front numbers were too big for the available space, so I just stuck them on the screen for giggles. I'm cutting smaller ones for the proper side area.
