I know. The racing community drives the SV demand. I cant believe they canned the SV line. As far as vintage 600s go... Im trying to get AWAY from carbs.

No, I'd rather have a newer 600. And im not bad with my hands. With stuff like that I'd just have to be really careful with straight frames and stuff. I'd love to have an 08 zx6r or 08 gsxr...

Lol your confusing stuff now. Love the ZZR but like I said above, I'm looking to stay away from carbs. The R6S wouldnt be a bad option, but if I wanted that bike I would buy my best friend's '05 R6 that im trying to sell to FullThrottle for $3800. Plus it would have upside down forks and a better rear shock.
