i could say my typical ditch the undertail thingy(so assume i did )

,but i really dig the new zx6r i hope it does well and sells a bunch .too bad the haydens jumped ship ,WTF is with kawi not being able to develop a rider like scott ,or bostrom .Every time they get close they have to start again .Them or the rider decision either way they need a spies like prodigy to take em from 600 to GP .Its turning into the NHL no more loyalty .

The new zx6r is cool i likes . my 2c.

Kawi's are starting to look sweet. but I still think my next bike will be a GSX-R 750...with my big gut, the extra power comes in handy!

i couldn't get past the first run on sentence.

After a few suffering a few minor technical setbacks on our end that pushed this story’s release a week or two, the files are now firmly stuck to our servers.

Neale Bayly is actually one of my favorite writers, this particular "review" seems more like a favor for a buddy while seriously hungover and not in the mood to type more than 500 characters.

What do you guys expect from a review or road test?
Would it really matter to you if the weight was 2 more or 2 less
pounds? If it had 2 more or two less hp? These bikes are ALL
very close now in performance and spec. Buy the one you like,
LEARN HOW TO RIDE and then ride the shit out of it instead of
posing at Starbucks...

wow, if i werent so secure in my riding skillz and absolute dislike for Starbucks coffee {boycotted them for over six years}; i would almost think you were taking a shot at me!!!?? should i be hurt?? nahh, tnx though..

all's i meant is i've read a lot of reviews in the past and found them ALL a hell of a lot more helpfull, getting into the grime of the ride much more than this guy cared to, prolly still asleep and all, thas cool; i'm not one to druel over a spec sheet though the new poser R1 look mighty fine from where i'm sitting {... slicker than a drug rep’s expensive suit}, which is at home recouperating from surgery, wishin' i could ride!!! and yes, thats what i choose to do, geddup at dawn stuff face w/ mcdish and head out for a 12 to 14 hour ride... then pass out from sheer exaustion.. patting myself on the back for avoiding the 200 starbucks i rode by on the way out and back into town... but i appreciate your comments though, i did throw a leg over the one i love and luvv' er i dois!!!

but i hear you're a great rider!! keep it on the rubber mate!!:rockon

wow.... funny the people who are calling him "this guy" and running down his review .. shit... Neale Bayly is an accomplished writer and also works for Speed... I'll bet most have you have been reading his reviews for years and havent even known it. Some reviews are long... others are short.. like it matters :rolleyes

Last year you were all drooling over him cuz he rode Rossi's bike... remember this? http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=2699

same guy.

Bikeland's happy to have him on board as a test rider.
