I used to be 385, been working out, eating clean, and weight is shedding but man is it a long process. I am sure some guys think I taint their image... lol. Oh well, my girlfriend being so hot on her black ninja doesnt make me care much

I'll take pics tonight after work, Promise!!!!

 

everyone is different, diff levels of coordination, reaction, agility.and yes being a good dirtbike rider helps tremendously the only difference between the two is the human factor, now u gotta watch out for the a**holes in a car or truck! i rode dirtbikes all my young lifeand my first streetbike was a 91 katana 600 w/ 40 hp shot of nitrous, i hopped on and went no problems and actually dragged it a bit on a 1/10 mile dirt track! a bike will only go as fast as YOU make it. take ur time get used to it and be a very defensive rider constantly scanning the road and ur mirrors!!!if ur the kinda rider i am the six will get boring pretty quick at least with the 9 youll be happier much longer and that is a decent price for shape and miles. im 6' 3' 225lbs and the 9 is very comfy!!
