Im so new to my bike, but what is the gears. Like is it 1 down five up and so on. I know this is such a stupid question but agian this is my first bike. So where is 1 st, 2nd, and so on ? Thanks so much
 
1 down, 5 up (6 speed). You should definitely sign up for the local equivalent of MSF (motorcycle safety foundation). Their classes are invaluable for new riders.

I plan on being one of the first to take it this year. Best 500 bucks you can spend. Waiting on the snow to be gone then i will be there.

Thanks
 
Well at least you chose a good bike to start off on! I started off on this bike and don't regret it! I'm sure if I had started off on a R6 or R1 I would be dead by now.............I'd be alot happier, but I'd be dead!
 
It really is worth it, my class had guys who have ridden for 20+ years before taking the course for insurance purposes who wish they had taken it earlier. (You just don't practice low speed balance and counter steering techniques, in addition to all the other topics covered.) My 2 cents....JL
 
Here in Illinois its $20 bucks to reserve your spot but you can either donate it to the course or get it back at the end.
