Just do what I did and buy some more bikes for when you're over the sporty position for riding around town
....you can never have too many bikes (as long as they are Kawasaki's)
this costs 700 bux and a 2nd bike costs way more than that mick , but if i could i would definitely add a naked to the stable along side the 6... this way i get the best bits of both i figure...
commuting with the clip-ons gets annoying and by the end of a full day riding my back and wrists are killing me... this is something im exploring that might alleviate the problem...
Whats the site in the UK. One of the reasons i didn't go ahead with the 10 was the cost. I might be interested in getting a set and changing them around occasionally.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Too many toys.......work is getting in the way!!!!
- sounds like something my grandfather needed in the later years of his life !!!!
Pinchy - those handlebars look really close to the fairing, even in the straigh-ahead position - They must come within a fanny hair of the screen at full lock - could be an issue for getting fingers caught between bars and screen ??
Just go the whole hog mate and 'fighter the 6 - be an individual, and do it to a bike that has never been crashed !!! You will be among the .05% of bikers to do this (according to well-informed sources )

Err.....How old are you Owen???? 24???? Like seriously mate, save that shit for when you're old enough that the body warrants it! FFS, if you start that shit now, by the time you're 30 you'll be riding a sidecar!!! Act your age and go out and knee scrape, wheelie and generally ride like the nutjob your age should dictate!!!

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

This may be a stupid Question But can you get a 2 pce clip on so you don't have to drop the forks every time to change it back over for track days etc?

no dorpping forks mate!!!
its just a new top triple, sits same place as the other one... all you would need to do is remove MX bar and switch everything back to the clipons... which sit exactly where they do now... under the top triple...
heli bars are clipons still but bring the bars back and up towards the rider... they are a much cheaper but less radical option...
