this is the first time that I have ever ridden a bike. for the first time last week i got on it...it killed on me a few times but I have gotten used to riding it...i stated in an earlier post that I was going to get a cbr 1k when they come out and i plan on sticking to my word. the ninja is a good bike and i think that i'm almost used to riding it...i have crazy thoughts about putting it in the air but i know that i'm nowhere near ready for that nor do i need to be road kill. hopefully everthing goes fine from here on out with my learning curve...i'm still in possession of it and will ride it until he decides to pick it up....there is nothing like going to the gas station and paying 7 bucks for premium....lol....until then...wish me luck...i will see you guys soon as i get my new cbr and post some picks....take care..

 

Humh............

 

^^ Humh indeed.

A 600RR is nowhere near being a starters bike, much less a 1000RR.......AND you are already having thoughts of bringing up the front end?

Anyone else thinking cheap parts on eBay in a month or so?

 

well i havent owned a ninja in quite a long time so i think i will be good
but what kind of friend lets someone ride his litre bike who has never ridden before.

he could be charged with attempted murder i think

 

we have been friends since junior high school...it's a 1k ninja...i was joking about attempting to pick the bike up...the statement was just the fact that i'm not "comfortable" with the bike so to say...but i'm beyond the stop and go part of learning....no doubt i'm a NOOB...and i know being cocky on a bike could lead to another set of problems a la the emergency room and morgue and lastly ebay....just bear with me...i may be cbr bound soon enough...

 

my first bike was a 929,im glad i did not get anything smaller,everyone i know that got a 600 wants a 1000 2 weeks later.

 

People dont give these 600's enough credit. I have a 1000,and i ride in the twisties with guys who have 600's,and they kill me everytime. Sure in the straights i'm faster,but in the curves the 600's have it.

 

ummm...steve...that's a dumb comment..not everyone lusts after a litre bike if they have a 600...hop over into the f4i forum...there a lot of guys who don't care about the 1k...they're nice and all but i am not upset about my 600.....besides, like everyone says...it's the skill of the rider....you may get to the turns quicker, but i'll beat you in the turns every time.....

 

the 600 is to small for me ,im 6 4 and even feel cramped on the 1000 bikes which are not that much bigger then the 600 s.the people i know wanted a 1000 bike after they got the 600,im not saying they where not happy with the 600.ive ridden the f4i and it is 1 of the easyest bikes out there to ride,a very good first bike.

 

the first streetbike i rode before was my buddies 954 and the first streetbike ive owned is my 1kRR which i have now. you'll be fine as long as you control the bike.
