Z-man there is Wise, you would do well to listen to his sage advice.

Less than 3000 miles under your belt, and you "think" your bike is inferior? Have you set-up the suspension on your R6 yet? How old are your tires? (3 years?!) If they're the OEM's, you haven't yet experienced the joy of a fresh-set of banana-skins!

It's more-likely the settings on your friends' bike are closer to fitting your weight and riding-style, than the '05 R6 is "inferior" to the '07 Gixxer-sixxer, and even if they're the stockers - his tires are still fresher than yours (if you haven't already replaced the back one 'cuz "burnouts is kewl, dawg!")

Seek the help of someone that KNOWS how to adjust your suspension for YOU (not just sez "I kin' do 'R!").

Attend a few track days.

Buy a new set of Pirelli's.

Then, come back and tell us about that "inferior R6".

Or, go buy an '08 Gixxer-sixxer. Whateva'.

It's your money, dude.

Just be certain you have the power-control set to "A" before you hamfist the throttle as you wheelie from the Suzuki Dealer's Lot into the unsuspecting traffic..............
