Hello! I would like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Kenny. I will be purchasing a Pearl White FZ6R next weekend which will be my first bike. I just got my permit today and will be taking the MSF course next week.
I do have somewhat of a motorcycle background. I've ridden dirt bikes in my teen years. I've gotten in 2 major accidents in which the last one has me with a metal plate holding my left collarbone together. Then I joined the Navy and haven't ridden anything since then. I've read a lot of DIY threads. I did all the maintenance on my old YZ250F and seems like I'm able to handle any basic maintenance on this bike.
I wasn't sure what bike to get at first. I've done a lot of research on the Ninja 650R and the FZ6R. I've roamed this forum countless hours on information about this bike, and it seems like this bike will suit me well. The reason why I didn't end up going with a 250 or 300 is because I used to have a 250 dirt bike and rode it very hard when I was younger. I know for a fact I would out outgrow a 250 in a very short time frame. The reason why I didn't go with an R6 is because I know better.
I haven't really had any experience with riding a motorcycle on the streets. The closest thing to that was riding a small scooter in downtown Honolulu when I went to visit Hawaii. I thought that was pretty fun and actually made me want to get my own motorcycle. So I guess the MSF course will teach me all the good habits and things to look out for to prevent possible accidents. I can't wait to get started!
