Fiedly, Im hoping u have prior riding expeirence? I have been riding about since i could walk, every kind of bike up to a hayabusa, and its serios stuff, 3 of my friends are dead now because of them.
No, I am currently looking into everything. If all goes well, I want to take classes in the spring and get the permit then as well. In CT we have 60 days to ride with permit, by then I will hopefully know enough to get the license. I am not doing this to be "cool" or for a "rush"; I just wanted to find a new hobby similar to my car but not exactly.

I would not start out with a r6 for ur first bike, not a good idea. One of our friends was killed on last sunday, and he was not a very expeirence rider, and hes dead now.

Just show respect and constraint and you'll be fine.

But...

A new rider + R6, R1, Gixxer6, Busa, 749, 999 etc etc + MY level of self control = Dead in 2 hours!



That's why I started on a Vespa, and I still nearly killed myself on that! [sm=pcwhack.gif]

I started mt street bike experience on a 95 Kawasaki ZX6E. That bike was an awesome sport touring bike. I had been on dirt bikes since I was a kid so I felt I could start off with the 600. I bought the thing for $3500 and sold it at the end of the season for $3500. Damn good deal. My next bike I bought a 98ZX9R I paid like $6000 for it, and my friend ran it off the road and broke both legs. So I sold it for parts, because I really did'nt want the power that thing had. So I bought me an 03 ZX6r and still have it 2 years later.
