YOU have to own a corner first, before any bike will. If you don't know how to carve a corner on a bike first, and I'm talking about fast cornering, then what type of sportbike you have wouldn't matter, especially if you're not riding the track. I would take MSF course first man and then after you get about a year under your belt, do a track day at Mid-Ohio, at least one so you get the experts showing you how to corner correctly and utilize that skill safely.

defiantly, im hoping to score a walk in for MSF here soon. and i won't get a bike (obviously) before MSF. i'm gonna get a 600 for my first bike and 3 years down the road get something bigger. my dad rode sport bikes while i was a kid and he pounded the importance of learning from more experienced riders into my head by the time i was 12. wrillo talked me outta getting the xb12r as my first bike, but i'd like to get it after i'm more experienced.

hey, just wondering about buells, wondering if anyone on here has ever ridden one or ridden with one. i know that even my friends 08 ZZR 600 has slightly faster 1/4 mile times, but are they really as amazing in the twisties as they're hyped up to be? I'm specifically thinking of the XB12R, I saw a video a while back that pitted it against the SS1000 Duc and another bike that i can't remember also 2 cyl (japanese company not really seen in the states). it trashed them both according to the pro tester but i can't seem to find it again. I really like the idea of buying American but you won't catch me dead on a cruiser. thanks for your input.

ouch!!!!! that little clip makes me cringe.

love that you want an R6 first, but at that price its going to be hard to find a good FI one. do what i should have done and saved a little bit more for a decent second gen and up R6, or at least a bike with FI.

carbs, albeit classic and totally awesome, are a bitch. somewhat similar to girls.

i definitely want FI but i'll go carb if i can't find FI for my price, i want this bike to last me all through college (the next three+ years) without me itching for an upgrade.

welcome another rider in my area thats killer. Where you at I live about 3 minutes from the mall

I live at the intersection of research and Patterson by the Marions pizza of beavrcreek.

i gonna get either an R6, ZX6, XB9R, or GSX-R 600 (in order of want) just depends on prices that i find, looking to spend no more than 4300.

sorry for the double post i'm new to the whole forum thing don't really know how to work it yet.

Hey all, i don't have a bike yet but i am getting one end of april early may. one of my bestfriends, wrillo, got me on here after showing me around a bit. he also takes credit for talking me out of a 1200 as my first bike.... yea i was one of those. anyway hope to see some of you out riding this summer.
