Default Does anyone know the tank to bars between an 09 ZX6r and 09 600rr?

Need to buy another bike that is not as cramped as an 07 600rr. The R1 fits me perfectly (2009), but I really want another 600. Can someone find the ergos photo for the 600ss bikes tested for 2009? I need to sit on another 09 ZX6r to see if the tank is longer to the bars vs. a 600rr.

thx

Yeah Honda tries to give you a dirtbike riding position, with the bars up too high and close. If you want another 600 try the R6, it seems to have the lowest bars. Not sure about the distance though.

ANd why not go to the bike show next month so you can sit on all of them?

Yeah, but usually when I go I just try to ride as many bikes as possible. I will go to the show this year though, jealous now?

My bud has a 2006 R6. No thanks. Thing is worse than a Ducati.

Yeah, Gixxers fit me real well. I was thinking about getting a Gix 750 again or the new R1, but I want to see if the ZX6r has more room than the Hondas. I'm partial to kawis.
