Well I finally did it. I kept telling myself for 15 years...."next summer I am getting a bike". After that many years I have realized it will never happen unless I just go do it. It will never be a good time financially so just go for it and have fun. Well I did. I rode dirt bikes as a kid, not very much, but I loved the feeling of being on motorcycle. Everytime I saw someone on one while I was driving my SUV, I would get more and more jealous. So this year I went for it. I was having trouble deciding what to get to start off. I looked at so many different bikes but nothing really made my brain scream out "Gotta have that!!". Nothing ofcourse, until I saw the 2011 Ninja 650R sitting next to the ZX6. Both of these bikes made alarms go off in my brain. This was exactly what i was looking for. Knowing nothing about bikes I asked the sales guy the difference between the two and found out that really the only thing in common was the name ninja. He told me that for a first bike the 650R was the way to go. Better riding position, more comfortable, more forgiving power and control and a huge difference on insurance prices. Where I live most insurance companies boost the insurance on the zx6 by about 400% to price themselves out of the market. So I sat on both anyways and actually preferred the 650R. Next choice was colour. Only offered in Black or orange and black. So I just went with what I liked and got the all black one. I didnt want to be that guy that dumps his bike in the dealership parking lot when he picks it up the first day. So, I had them deliver it to my house. I sat on it for two days in the garage before I built the courage to ride it. I actually found it so easy once I got going. I ended up putting on just shy of 100kms on my first ride and I cant wait to go back out again. I love the sound of this bike and it is so smooth shifting through the gears. I will put pics up soon. However there is nothing special about it. Just a completely stock all black 650R.
anyways, this is me saying Hello to everyone
