I love the zx-6r love love love it although the price tag is a bit heavy for new. I would want to get used, either that or a zzr-600 used. I love my 250 but when I upgrade its going to be one of those bikes.
Jadefoxx215Participantthe hardest thing for me to learn which I’m still perfecting is learning proper gear shifting. For example when downshifting I learned the hard way that its not a good idea to downshift from 5th directly to 1st if i’m not coming to a complete stop, that I can downshift to the next gear provided I’m going slow enough and just roll onto the throttle. I realized I was doing something wrong when one day I go to downshift and my bike super -revs and my bike tire starts to skid..yeah I about crapped myself then and needless to say I haven’t done that again. Also I’ve learned to trust my bike, not when I’m leaning but when I’m making a slow right hand turn. I have a tendency to hold on to the clutch and let off the throttle a bit until I clear my turn..but everything is a work in progress.
Jadefoxx215ParticipantI know alot of guys who are in that situation..lol
Jadefoxx215Participantlol I watch adult swim all the time but have never seen this show…. I LOVE ATHF.
Jadefoxx215Participantthanks!! I plan on practicing a lot in an empty lot after work today but over my last 2 rides I did it about 3 times and wanted to know what the heck I was doing to cause such a vicious lug of the engine. MUCHO THANKSO!!
Jadefoxx215Participantthanks everyone for the feedback, I really appreciate it and Ben, your idea is good about the radar speedo…i’ll try that.
Jadefoxx215ParticipantI’m from PA as well, the otherside hehe..Philly all the way!! But also check cycletrader.com, you’ll find a great variety of new and used 250’s… maybe i’ll see ya on the road some day!!
welcome btw…
Jadefoxx215Participantyeah me too, I think the only thing I had slight trouble with was the clutch/shift/throttle concept. Other then that everything has been very simple.
Jadefoxx215Participantyeah thats a good idea. My BF wants an 08 but I told him he wont be finding one anytime soon unless its used. We’ll probably put a deposit on the 09′
how’s the riding going btw?
Jadefoxx215ParticipantYes in PA the MSF class is FREE!!! Oh don’t bother getting a cheap helmet either you’ll regret it if you do get into an accident. Take the hit now and get something that’s been tested, it maybe pricier but you will not regret it.
Jadefoxx215ParticipantI never got into Facebook….

Jadefoxx215Participantgorgeous bike indeed! Something about a red bike just does it for me! (mine is red as well)
Jadefoxx215ParticipantJadefoxx215ParticipantI’ve heard it from a few people that I know who’ve bought a new 08 and doing some research myself I came across a few sites..
