This is too bizarre…
When I first started bike shopping I sat on an FZ6 and got sucked into the sales pitch. “Oh, it’s a perfect starter bike.” My hubby was buying from this dealership and they are a great bunch of guys, very young, hip, informed on what they’re selling but they’re all speed freaks and assume anyone looking at a street/faired bike is the same.
So I’m sitting on the FZ6 trying to figure out how I’m going to pay for it because I LOVE it when the salesman says something about it having 95 horsepwer. Huh? That’s almost as much as my car. How in the sam hell am I supposed to learn to ride on something that weighs 400 lbs and has the horsepower of a 3,000 lb car. Thank you, no.
If you can get the Ninja, do it.ShannonGParticipantThe only thing I don’t really care for its it’s kind of a loud pattern. You can’t get them in solid colors with the Top Gun glasses.
ShannonGParticipantI am officially jealous – the Ninja was my first choice but they were all sold out in Canada! I’m brand new here too, so if I do anything really stupid I’ll be sure to let you know. :-0
ShannonGParticipantI find the HJC fits my noggin the best. For under $300 CDN I found one with the full face that flips up and cool tinted glasses INSIDE the visor that are activated by a button on the top of the helmet. Very fighter pilot cool.
ShannonGParticipantI have a pair of these boots and since they’re not marketed as motorcycle-specific they are far less than the motorcycle boots you’ll find at a bike store. No laces, sturdy sole, cover your ankle, they are great boots for riding!
ShannonGParticipantI am so scared of dropping my new bike! Hopefully my cycling experience will pay off and I won’t put any scratches on my shiny Suzuki. Silver lining scenario is I have a friend who could put a wicked custom paint job on it if I really muck it up.
ShannonGParticipantI would think lower revs=better economy.
