Thinking I'll sell my Ninja 1000SX someday and get a ZX-6R with some ergo mods. Liter bikes are too powerful and fast to use a fun amount of their abilities on the street, and the lighter ZX-6R will be more flickable. #motorcycle

I sold my litre bike for similar reasons! Hope you enjoy the ZX6R :)

how much of the flickability is rider weight relative to the motorcycle weight and power?

Interesting. I’m currently riding a Honda NC700X, used only for commuting year round (30km one way). I’m actually thinking of swapping to a 1000sx (or a gsx s1000) because I expect that to be much more fun. I mean, should I ever get time for a non-commuting ride. :-)

Test drove a er6f as well when I picked the nc700, that was also more fun. It was just that the nc was so practical. :-)

There's always the Honda XL750 Transalp, too. Despite being a ~750cc twin, it revs out much farther than the NC700X's motor.

Yeah, know that one. Maybe look at it again. Also saw there is a nt1100 now. Felt a bit like a bigger version of my bike and in some reviews it’s described as the next step after nc700. It’s not a racer and that’s probably also fine for me. Need to make sure I stay alive also.

All in all I think it’s super hard to decide on my next bike. Or why I need a next bike, since my nc700 is totally fine actually. So much choice. But prob gsx s1000, kawa ninja 1000 or nt1100. And xl750 indeed.
