I started with a fzr600 which I rode for a year and then I moved up to a r6 mostly for looks. I still am learning to ride and my r6 makes way more power than I need and beats the majority of cars on the road. Often merging onto freeways I find myself doing 100 with out even meaning to, first gear red lines at 60. I would like to know why people get 1000s unless they ride at the track or stunt or race other liters on the street.
