Go with the 600 Darin. It's less hyper, and less likely to get you
in trouble. I've had ZX6's and 7's and ridden liter bikes. A 600 is PLENTY fast. You will be surprised how quick that ZX6r is !
BTW, thanks for the spoiler

My friend has the 636, and another friend has the new R6...
Definately get the R6. The litre bikes are just good for going in a straight line. The 6's handle so much better.
Becides, the 636 has like, 123 hp and weighs just over 300 lbs... There's a 'euro' mod you can do to the ECU to pick up like 3 or 4 more hp.
My buddy is like 6'1", 220 and he rides hard and fast. The 6 is more than enough bike for anyone!
Don't overlook the new R6 though... it's a badmotorfinger.

To answer your question directly... you will NOT be disapointed by a 600.
See my reply elsewhere in the thread.
The current breed of 600's are just wicked fast and handle / tip amazingly.
Also keep in mind, insurance is more on a litre bike.
