He can buy four 250s, and then weld them together one by one as he moves up. Really though, 250 is great choice. ---

[quote=“Achou,post:5,topic:30867"”] what did you expect? [/quote] A typical SuperSport 600 (R6 in this case) that every kid on the block gets in the spring because they care more for being _seen_ on a sport bike than actually knowing how to _ride_ one. ---

Have you or will you be taking the MSF course? Just wondering. I got some books and video about riding, if you wanna borrow let me know. Some of them are PDF but the “Total Control” by Lee Parks is on paper, I just need to dig them up from my mess…:rofl Riding is about self discovery, that’s why I like riding so much; so don’t feel weird riding alone. I wish I like group rides more on the streets, but on the track is a different story…:excited. At the track people only judge you on your riding; no one really cares what bike you got or how big your engine is… ---

Only good things come out of the course. 3 point reduction, you get your license, learn how to ride, insurance discount and tips that could save your life. The earlier you take it, the more you get out of it. Somebody told me recently that they no longer give the points off, but don’t quote me on that, wasn’t a credible source. ---

Damn… what the hell is that supposed to mean??? lol. Although my first bike wasnt the r6, it was a 1983 Suzuki GS550E; which at some point in my lifetime, I might actually finish restoring… ---

Def. take the course, I tought myself how to ride and just took the test due to how late I picked up the bike (courses were filled up). I missed out on a great learning experience, but I will be trying to take the advanced course this year. The test does nothing to show you can ride. My figure 8 was done on a 4 lane road.
