R6 = New Love

[asubimmer]

First off I never wanted to EVER drive a motorcycle b/c I knew that I would want one. Well my friend finally got his mr2 back after a new engine. So we went to the parkway w/ a gsr integra and a R6. I got tricked, lol, into drivin the R6 and I LOVE them!!! Dang, now I really want one. I think I'll end up getting one in the near future finances willing ;)

Who all here rides?

i have before and wish i could get back on a bike. is this your first bike? i wouldnt suggest an r6 for a first bike though. you need like a ninja zx6r or something. keep the option of ripping all the skin off your body to a minimum.

I ride a Yamaha, it aint no R6 though ;)

Model/specs? I like the look.

What would you guys recommend as a beginner bike? Looking into getting my license soon.

Im really into 2 stoke bikes, probably not the most reliable, but a lotta fun!

it would be "best" to get a newer bike thats fuel injected..

I've grown out of the 600's into liter bikes but I could picture myself back into the newer 600's as they are putting out just as much power as liter bikes from a few years ago.

Currently doing an engine swap on my Aprilia RSV Mille.
BMW R75 as a primitive cruiser. Cable clutch, speedo/tach, no fusebox(directly wired), no hydraulics(all drum brakes), kick starter, non halogen lighting, etc.

BTW, I love my dual shotguns on the Aprilia.
Underseat exhaust = Ducatti trademark
Dual Side exaust(GP moto style) = Aprilia

Depends on if you want a full fairing sport bike ,naked bike, or a cruiser.

Damn, you must be like my friends. The cheapest bike they would allow me to get to ride with them at the time was the Giant NRS. Being a sucker for motorsports and since the ex-chassis designer of Formula 1 Benneton team designed the NRS frame, I was suckered in pretty easily. :) Their bikes are still 5x the price of mine but damn, that is another expensive hobby too. :rolleyes:
