    I had the ZX6R, which is now the current ZZR600, before I bought my VFR. I feel like the ergonomics are just about the same, both very, very comfortable. The seat is better on the VFR for touring since it's wider, but that's about the only difference I can think of.

    I agree, and yes, I think it's faster than the VFR. It definetely screams in the higher rpms, as you'd expect from a supersport I4. I think it weighs about 100lbs less, as well. Nice for the twisties but I rememeber being blown all over the place in heavy cross winds a few times I toured on it, that's where the weight of the VFR is kinda nice.

    Anyone ever ridden the ZZR1200?
    That was a georgeous bike!
    Nice ergos,hard bags,and TONS of power!!!
    I almost got one of these a couple of years ago,but the dealer was asking too much and would not negotiate.:frown:
    Oh well,if i wolud have got the 1200, I never would have found my VFR!

    zzr1200 is a bad ass bike but feels to heavy for me think i might drop that one.. it has the zx-12 engine with more midrange cams are different i read reports on that bike and its awesome fast 10's in quarter 160 plus i considered it too but it was just to dam big .. the new concour 14 is the updated zzr with zx14 motor that bike its the new tour king but dam its big too. think i'll consider the fjr it seems more nimble like trhe vfr but has a big engine if kawi would make a zzr 900 that looks like the 1200 but smaller thats my next ride until then i'm stuck were i'm at..........:usa2:
