Hm interesting. My friend wants the Honda and I want the Kawasaki but neither of us are sold so were gonna go look at both some time. I've never seen the honda in person but I actually saw an 08 or so ninja 250r parked on campus today and I liked it a lot. If I get one I will most likely get...
That gt250r looks pretty sweet. Will look into it. However I went to their website and it says that the fuel system is 2 Carburetor Mikuni BDS26 so doesn't appear to be fuel injected. Either way cool bike. Thanks for posting.
Yes I am also looking into this one a lot but I personally think it looks ugly in the pictures haha. Haven't seen one in person so maybe i'll like it better once i see it for real. The fuel injection would probably be really nice to have tho.
Now with all of the above being said....haha...I will give you guys an update of where I am. Right now I am waiting to take the MSF course which I will probably end up taking during Thanksgiving so it doesn't interfere with school to much. In the mean-time i plan to really make sure that I do...
:thumbup::thumbup: your the man :)
:thumbup:
:thumbup::thumbup: great post man. i especially agree with your first sentence or two.
:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: once again another great post. theres a lot of win in this post here. i think i was a lot like your two sons when I went...
Yeah there is a good chance this might happen. It all really depends how the class goes and then how I like the 250 when I get on it and test ride. Taking it one step at a time now instead of just going and getting a cool, fast, bike first and then trying to learn how to ride it. I'll be sure...
Well guys... Unfortunately I didn't buy the bike. I did ALOT of thinking today and at the end of the day I decided it just isn't the right bike for me. Long story short it was just to much bike for me in all aspects. I rode it in a vacant parking lot with plenty of room and had no problems...
I am looking into buying a used 09 FZ6R with 2100 miles that was bought new in July of 2010. My dad test drove it today and noticed that the handle bars are not centered. They are slightly shifted to the left but not bend, we don't think. He also said that while he was riding it, the left...
Thanks for all the posts guys. They have really helped me decide that the FZ6R is, in fact, the right bike for me. This is how I have it reasoned out at the moment.
1) 6R is not lacking in low end power, rather top end power which is not near as important to me
2)fz6r is much better for...
good shit. it sounds to me like the power gained from the R6 is not the kinda power i'm interested in. I've now almost ruled out the R6. Thanks for all the help guys. Now to go test drive my potential new bike tomorrow! Could be the proud owner of a 09 FZ6R tomorrow!!
your the one i need to hear this from since you've been on both bikes. thanks for posting.
edit: they have the same torque?!?!?! that means similar if not the same acceleration right?? HP is all top end, no?
i could care less about top end speed.. its all in the acceleration for me
Okay i've thought a little more about it and the FZ6R really may be the perfect bike for me because I honestly probably can't afford the R6. How do they compare to the Ninja 250s and CBR250?
I don't know why I even get caught up in the "status" of my bike compared to other bikes. Its so...
I'm very close to buying an 09 FZ6R with 2100 miles on it right now. I'm actually going to test drive it tomorrow so I guess I will be able to answer this question for myself tomorrow but for some reason (most likely because this 600cc bike is much slower than the 600cc R6 which is what I was...
can anyone post a picture from behind their FZ6R with a 170 wide rear tire? would be cool if someone had a stock picture to compare it with but i can find a picture with the stock tire size if no one feels like posting up both.
I passed the 25 question motorcycle license test today after studying the operating manual for like 20 minutes while i waited to be called. luckily alabama only requires you to take 1 written test and you get the full license :D no permits or second driving skills test down here :p
