And if you're serious about 2 wheels next year, the R6 is a terrible first bike if you've never ridden before. Usable power on the street is not wringing out each gear to 12,000 rpm, sure you will look cool going stoplight to stoplight in a straight line but if you want my opinion, start on a midsize twin like the SV650 (it looks like a sportbike if you want the look) so you can really learn how to handle the 'cycle and the torque will keep you grinning for a couple years.


Nothing worse than a new rider on a 600 who barely knows throttle control but yet rides a bike with the twitchiest throttle, and stiff arms the bars because he is so leaned over and doesn't know the essence of handling a motorcycle is in gripping the tank. I had a few buddies when I had my 650 who rode Gixxers, R6's, and one had a Ninja 600. Sure in a straight line above 50 mph they would pull on me, but they couldn't hold a line for shit in the corners.


Only giving friendly advice as I did the whole "I want a supersport 600 for my first bike" phase, but once I learned the dynamics of being a better rider, I swallowed my ego for one of the "less popular" bikes, and learned riding so much easier and competently than if I started on a supersport. Good luck Alex.

thanks for the info, If i do not sell for 10k than I keep it, no money for another car.

I'm not sure about the SV650.. but I will need your bike experience help next year.

thank you
