argh... it was 100 degrees here in Memphis yesterday, suppose to be 95+ all week..... one of the longest, hottest summers ever
yah, i've been looking around too...
i picked up a basic suit earlier in the year for $300, but decided i really want one with aero hump, cuz of wind drag on the freeways... i found this company called www.tiltcustoms.com, and for $525 (shipped), they'll make a custom replica of any suit u want. almost 1/2 the price of an a* rc-1, sp-1, or gp pro...
i'm still very much on the fence. but, the reviews on the site seem good.

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HAD FROST YET , WE HAVE
AND HOW COLD OUT BEFORE YOU GIVE UP ON THE 6R ?
I WILL RIDE MY GL1800 IN THE 30S
HECK THIS SPRING I PUT ON 1500 MI ON BIKES BEFORE THE SNOW WAS GONE :rant:
road all thru winter last year, except the week we had 5ft of snow on the ground and another week when it dipped below freezing with the possibility of black ice in this area...
did my 20k oil change Sat (1yr 1month on the bike)

I would like an aero hump very much! One main difference I noticed between the FZ6-R and the R6 is the riding position. You can sit upright on the R6 (just close to the tank) but when you're hauling ass there is so much wind that your head starts vibrating and you're seeing things in a blurr, didn't happen when I was on my FZ6-R.
Tucked in on my R6 even with the Zero Gravity Double Bubble, I felt soo much wind, it felt like my head was going to rip off because the helmet was pressed so much against my face. I also felt the wind go over my head and down my back, so an aero hump would be really nice! That and I need to get a new helmet!
I just got home from a 160 mile ride with a buddy. Left the house at 10am and it was a nice cool 65ºF. Got up to around 75ºF at the hottest. Perfect fall weather for San Diego. 
It should be like this through November. Most of the north county roads I was on today will usually be under 2 or 3 feet of snow from late December to mid February usually. But that's when we just ride the twisties in the south county. 
Problem is early spring time for us is WET! Feb - April is our only really crappy weather time for riding.

^ i sometimes feel like the wind is going to push me over all the same... lol am still getting used to it. but, on a bumpy freeway, going 75+ feels like a wind tunnel...
too bad summer is always so short...
135ish on a drag strip, SOOO much wind.
Same here X2 ~minus the snow
I rode (commuted) into the low 30's last winter with a few 28 degree days. That was cold without any heated gear/grips.
I also did my 20k oil change this past weekend (1 yr 5 months) I think we may be the highest milers on the forum right now. Anyone else with over 20k on the 6R yet?
