| all of the pros out there. i understand and respect what most of you guys say about this bike being to much. but i am extremely determined on this bike. i wanted the zx-10r since they came out. i came extremely close to getting it until i relized that it would kill me and now im scared to death of it. but im in love with its baby brother the zx-6. im determined , i wont fall off. i know this im to smart. i know my self and i will spend countless hours im my driveway, weighing out this bike until i know it, completely. with my determination. would i be able to handle this beauty. plz no smart *** answer(that wont help me at all) thnx.

| it sound like you're trying to convince yourself that this will be a safe first bike for you. It may well be, but it's far less likely to be safe than a bike that isn't designed for racing. As well intentioned and smart as one can be, mistakes will still be made by all new riders, and this bike will not be very forgiving of them. If you do choose this bike, I hope you have no problems with it, but you're more likely to than if you chose a less aggressive 500 and planned on the same level of caution while learning.
Good luck and welcome to the club

| ya know what kmunny, you were the exact person i was hoping to hear from. your the reason why i knew i would die on the zx-10r. so i owe and respect you in this world. but i pride myself on maturity and self respect. im positive i could handle this bike. but also i respect youve been in this world alot longer then i have been. ill look into the 500.. also if i choose the 500 ill put your recommended 4-5000 miles on the pavement before going after the ninja 6r. thanks for what you do bro. ill let you know in time to come on my decision. i appriciate what you do for people just starting off. im looking forward to building a friendship with you and learning all that i possible from you. thanks again bro

| Another thing I forgot to mention was that if you haven't already, you should take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Beginning Riders Course, which is available through a lot of technical colleges. Its a pretty basic course, but its got a lot of good riding info, and some good riding experience too. It certainly doesn't teach everything, (experience is the best teacher), but its a good, safe way to get fast-tracked to getting your license, and it also lets you practice riding on their bikes, so if there is an incident, it doesn't cost you any damage to your own bike.

| | This was my first bike never rode before but knew how to drive a clutch. This bike can and will kill you if your not mature enough to realize your capabilities, can control your throttle and know how to clutch. If you can do that put 40 dollars in your wallet and ride ride ride. the best way to learn is experience (and the MSF course that is offered in your area) Good choice on not going for the 10 I was thinking that myself when making my decision but went with the 6 can't ride if your dead. After getting a few thousand under my belt I upgraded the heck out of this bike and it will beat a 10 any day of the week. Just remember do what's within your capabilities. you can always make your bike faster. |
