My buddy just told me he sold his kawi 636 to upgrade to a zx10r. He put 5500 k on it and thats all his riding experience. I personally think this is gonna be a bad idea. What do u guys think?
So what would you call a good reason?Nickers03R1 said:There are good reasons to buy a 1000 but if he just thinks he needs more bike then it will be trouble. Anyone with a brain can ride a 1000 carefully and be fine but too many riders don't quite understand what they have underneath them.
I've never heard anyone say this before. Are you saying an R1 is a better choice because you can touch the ground with your feet? Are the seat heights even different?PerfectMistake said:Or because you can actually get your feet on the ground instead of lowering the shit out of the R6??
Not sure if the seat height comment or this one made less sense. Are you saying that since the R6 weighs 20 lbs. less than an R1 it just spontaneously falls over while you're riding it? Whatever this meant your bike isn't going to "fall over" in the turns no matter what it weighs.riggz said:how about going from a heavier 600 to an R1 vs. the R6 simply because the R6 is lighter and you might fall over in the turns?
thank you. just wanted to hear someone else say it.Nickers03R1 said:Not sure if the seat height comment or this one made less sense.
