So i am doing a test drive on a 2004 FZ6 today and was planing to get it for my first bike. So i was wondering if you guys think it would be ok for me but let me explain why.
-I have been riding mountain bikes for a long time so after getting a feel for the clutch (gears were nth new to me) i really flew thru the class. I got the figure 8 the first time and i only got points for lower my throttle on the swerve (after doing it flawlessly every single time before that...)
-I was told by my mom's friend and by my safety class instructor that i should get a 600cc bike. Iam 5'11'' and about 190lbs but i will be on the highway a lot after i am ready for it so my instructor said a 250 is really not safe when i was originally looking to get a KLX250sf
-Insurance for me is cheaper for me for the '04 FZ6 then it is for a new ninja 250... 4 times cheaper.... i have no idea why...
-So at the end of the first day my instructor said it would be ok if i tried out one of the bikes (im pretty sure it was a fz6) it was a 600cc yamaha and i only did a few rounds on the lot with it but, the power that you could just feel it was capable of scared the crap out of me but i knew to respect the bike and i really felt comfortable on it. Sure i still need a lot of practice but i feel like i have a lot of experience on two wheels.
-I know i will drop it eventually but the plan is to get sliders(i know it wount save much) and its a used bike so im will only cry for a few days when i drop it for the first time.. also im planing to pay around 2500-2800 for it so its not like im going out and buys a bike i could lose a few grand on...
Any input would be great so let me know if u have the time.. also dont feel like u are being harsh just let me have it as it is... ill post soon about how the test goes and try to figure out for sure what bike it was that i tried out...
thxs guys!!!
