I’ll be at laguna seca this weekend… https://www.bestbeginnermotorcycles.com/forum/forum-topic/923/extra-red-bull-2008-laguna-seca-tickets

Got an extra ticket for sunday. Anyone?

I’m just trying to get feelers right now… Choice of routes would still be open. Whatever route most people would want to do is fine by me. I guess, let’s just see what dates people are free at and see if we can find an intersection of the different dates. Basically, after this weekend, my weekends are pretty free. (-:

If motorcycles are like crack, it’s gotta be like the worst deal ever! What ever happened to freebies first?

But yeh… completely addicted to gear/aftermarket shopping…

Way different feel. A lot more dense and less loose feeling than the stock levers. They really do feel of higher quality than the stocks. Very comfortable too. Adjustable clutch lever ftw! o/

Usually because relying on speed to get you out of trouble’s rarely the best option, if ever. If you evaluate your surroundings correctly, most of the time you’ll never have to rely on speed getting you out of trouble. The problem with relying on speed for city riding is that the emergency situations you’ll most likely encounter aren’t good for goosing the throttle. Parked cars pulling out to street in front of you, animals crossing your path, children, etc. aren’t good for speeding out of those situations, especially dealing with animals and children where even swerving’s not an all too appealing option. Trying to figure out and guess what another living thing is going to do when they’re faced with their “oh shit” moment’s a crap shoot at best. Basically, if you’ve got time to evaluate a situation and come up with speed out of the situation, you have time to emergency brake and not have to hope to <insert your deity here> that you’ve chosen the right choice of action.

No, haven’t sat on the kawa 650. I prefer suzuki because I’ve got a case of first bike love… The only other kawa I’ve ridden on was one buddy’s 2007 ninja 250 and another buddy’s 08 ninja 250 (only in a parking lot). Other bikes i’ve ridden were the beat up hunkers at the MSF… While the ninja 250s are nice rides, I still prefer my sv650s over them… most likely due to the “everyone loves their own bikes” syndrome…

You’re right. For some reason I thought Katana, but the review I read a while ago basically says it’s based on the Bandit design. Performance wise, it isn’t any different from a Bandit. I agree that it’s not a good beginner bike although, from the review below, it seems like suzuki is targeting a beginner market…

Hiya and welcome! Are you confused with the type of courses to take? There’s the basic rider course and the experienced rider course… You being a beginner should take the basic rider course…

Welcome! good on the sales dude for not recommending the zx6r… I still think learning on the 250 would serve you better in the long run… I myself, am biased for the sv650 if you really want to go higher up…

Just got my silver shorties in today. Got an appt. at the local shop to install them on monday. If what you and everyone else says about them feeling a whole lot better than the stock levers, then I’ll be one happy camper.
