thats what i was thinking about outgrowing the 250
i mean, the new ones do look nice, i really like em, but i will probably want something more substantial than that once i'm done breaking the whole riding thing in.
i'm not power hungry, by all means. cause lets face it, two wheels, with the biggest power, isnt the smartest combination.
but, the 6r seems like it could be a good starter (from what i've read and learned from my neighbor, it's about the maturity of the rider, than the bike itself) i probably won't outgrow it, and it seems like it's a really good build for a bike.

one of my buddies wants me to get a gixxer, but i've had my eyes on a ninja ever since i first saw one, wayy back when i was like 4.

thanks again guys for all your input. really helps out to have support rather than discouragement.

I have toyed with the zx's since '88. Yes I have had a few and yes, I learn everytime I ride one of them. Right now, I only have a 7 and a 10r. Each one is a learning curve so to speak. As in all rides and how you set them up. Make the rides work for you. It is up to you to set them up and use them for your preference. Your knowledge and ability dictates, not the ride. Have fun and ride safe.

you can find a good deal if you look hard. I recently bought my 03 636 for 4400 bucks with only 1100 miles. It pays to be pacient. have fun with your bike whenever it is you get it

My first bike is my 06-636. Some people will tell you to go on a smaller bike blah blah blah. Just remember to respect the bike and don't evey under estimate it's abilities.

RE: what can i expect to pay

i know, smaller bike right?

i'm pretty set on the zx6r. sat on one. oh god was it nice.
love the sound it makes stock.
and it just has good performance numbers overall. even spread.

using it mostly for rides, trips, the track every now and then, and occasional street racing.

now, to find a cheap one.....lol
