I am 6'1" and weigh ~ 245 lbs. I currently have a ZX-12R, but am thinking about getting the ZX-10R. How does this bike fit big guys? My rides are usually less than 200 miles in a day.

If you are going to be riding mainly on the street I'd stick with the 12. If you really need a bike for serious twisties or track days, go sit on a 10. I'm still breaking in my 10, but it's not a 12 by any means. Much smaller, not as steady on the bumps and, of course, not as much torque down low. Just cruising down the road, I really miss my 12. However, I am dying to get the 10 on the racetrack. It turns so easy you almost can just think it through the turns. (BTW, the 12 was no slouch on the track when set up properly with good rubber.)
