thanks for all the posts guys responses are very helpful , im leanin towards the r6. but im still going to look into the kawasaki range although i no there dirtbikes arent exactly known for there reliability not sure bout the sportsbikes though personaly never owned a kawasaki.

why no buy a 1000? well as much fun as the ridiculous power can be , its abit to hardcore for my liking to ride in stop - start traffic. im also a small guy (65 odd kg)so i find them abit bulky to moove around , just feel alot more comfortable on the r6 over the r1. 600 is still plenty of power to get the front wheel up
