Lovely example of a ZX6R love the colour. In all honesty you wouldn't of gone too far wrong with either bike. Was it a private sale or dealer?

Wayhay. Crap choice, but glad you are back on 2 wheels.

Maybe I'll bump into you at the Bookstore/coffee shop near Buxton again.

I know you are being funny about the upside down pic but I'm pretty sure they are BT 023's. I've still got them on the triumph and I pretty sure I recognised the pattern. Toss them for some Metzelers would be my choice.

HAHA very funny guys, I've been stuck in the car all day dreaming of next Friday. Can't chuffing wait.

Here's a few more upside down photos, really is in good nick for a 6 year old bike. Yes the tyres will be going, replaced with the SCs I've got stashed in the garage but not until the spring. Plus that hydrofoil thingy on the rear and the can.

Nice one mate, good looking bike (for a kwack (giggle) )

Oh, and don't worry about the rizoma catalog. Kwacky will have a pile of links saved up for you..

Who puts touring tyres in a sports bike? How many mikes has it covered, Monty? Looks minty fresh.

To be honest BT023 are apparently a fab tyre with great mileage. Not a silly idea having those
