At its launch, the designer of the ZX-6R admitted theirs wasn't aimed at road riders, and was instead

	Unchanged Melodies By Jon Urry on 15/01/2009 10:54:11 Once upon a time they built unassuming bikes that were so good from the word ‘go’ that they didn’t change once during their production run test.

	Road Test: CBR1000RR v ZX-10R v GSX-R1000K6 v R1 By Jon Urry on 18/05/2008 16:53:33 1000cc sports bikes go ballistic to Majorca. Does the water taste like what it oughta? the road. A schoolboy braking error on a very wet motorway locked the front wheel, precipitating a long and graceless slide.
