Hey guys I'm new to the bike world in general. Just started to ride about two months ago. Started out a 2013 cbr 250r and that got old real fast lol. So I sold that slow *** thing and got me 2007 kawasaki zx6r. Two different worlds. Here is a couple pics.

Welcome, User. Yes; just a bit of difference between the 250 and the 6R.
Advice? 1. Always wear gear. 2. Always expect someone ELSE to be in that corner you want to strafe. 3. ALWAYS plan your escape route; anticipate stupidity before it anticipates YOU. 4. No stupid crap....just don't do it because it gives all of us a bad name, and your bike will "teach you a lesson" you won't forget.
Sorry to be a grump. Get to know your ride....patiently. It's too late when you're in too "hot" and over your head.

Here's a great post for new riders.

Welcome to KF

I love rocking a 250. hmm, I love rocking my EX500, and the list continues. Stay in control and relax, ie comfy with your new ride. No ego crap, because as mentioned, you will get bit even when you think everything is in control. Know yourself and your ride.

Congrats on the new ride.
