Brief background story:
I'm a road tester/editor/translator @ SuperBike Mag Hungary and we had a supersport group test back in 2006 and I crashed a ZX6R in one of the bends. It was nothing serious but as we all know fairings cost a lot and the bike had no insurance at all so I decided to buy it for myself and after a year or so I made up that I need to get it repaired. Since I had the opportunity to ride a lot of bikes and to have a longterm testbike I had no time for her. After some careless months I got the idea to build a project bike e.g. get her in shape again. So the bug bit me and here we are now. After several months of collecting the bits and pieces she finally got together. I still need to get some clear front indicators though... my pockets ran out by now...
