190 can make a difference. I weigh 155, and I can feel a huge difference on my ZX10 just pulling a case of beer in my backpack, never mind carrying a passenger. I really wouldn't want to ever be any heavier than I am, if I ever start gaining weight I'm stepping up to a bigger bike.
It's really all about you though. I say hit the used lot at your local dealer and ride a ZX10, it may be an eye opening experience one way or the other. A new ZX10 is only around $1000 more than a new ZX6, and you'd spend twice that just on parts trying to get more grunt from yours.

On the other hand, you already have it, and they aren't going to give you what you paid on a trade in. For what you'd have to spend to get into a new ZX10, you could maybe turn what you have into one sweet-ass bullet... the difference in what they give you for yours and what the ZX10 will cost could be more then you'd need.

12/23/08- I disagree with Jbear, he is dead wrong.. He can, however, be a soothing voice of reason, but usually doesn't know jack $h!t about a damn thing!
