One other thing you should check is the tires. Tires aren't meant to be on the bike for longer than like ~5 years. So even though there might be decent tread still on the stock tires, they could suffer from minor rotting, which you obviously don't want.

 

nice bike, i got the same color and year w/ less miles at about the same price

 

forgot to add, if you're looking for parts...i got a race fairing kit that will fit it, undertail, and basically brand new tank...let me know if you're interested.

 

2H Co: Thanks for the advice. I definitely agree with wearing gear. Gloves, jacket, helmet, and I'm looking for some of the Icon pants as well. Going 50 mph, I can only imagine what scraping the pavement would feel like...

Aken: Good point, I'll inspect the tires closely next time I get on. I'd rather not spend the money on new ones right away, but I'll do it if I see something out of the ordinary.

Glitch: Thanks for the offer, but my bike's doing pretty well for now!

 

my friend looped a 12 o'clock at about 120mph on his r6 and he had full leathers other then pants he had on some kind of text pants and they saved him to a point there was just a small burn through on his *** and a broken finger. so if anything i would say go with atleast text pants no less.

 

that sucks, my friends basically was doing the same thing on his r6 i don't think he was going 120 though....he was wearing full leather (gloves/jacket), helmet, and jeans...all his gear was ruined (unusable)....he was missing 1 *** cheek for months lol...but he's ok now.

 

If you are worried about your legs buy yourself some alpinestar or icon leg protectors you can wear under any kind of pants they will help you out a million times better then any pants that are not race leathers. They cost maybe 20 bucks and just look like baseball catchers leg guards. You dont want messed up knees or shins and these will protect you for 20-40 bucks
