thats the dumbest f***ing post Ive ever read...cold tire pfffft yeah rightreaper2022 wrote:
The thing I don't like about Kawis is you can't let maintenance slide at all; they're like Ducs. This is what happens when you're hard on a zx6r and you forget to change the fork seals:
Personally, I'd recommend a CBR600 F4i. Fuel injected, 600cc, and very tame under 7k rpm, not to mention it's a fairly forgiving bike for a 600. I learned to ride on an '01 F4i... Man, I miss that bike. I've ridden once since I sold the thing, and that wasn't the best experience of my life... I assumed because the owner had just gotten done riding for 20 minutes the rear was warmed up, so I rode it hard. Turns out the tire was ice cold and came right out when I dipped it down for a turn. Ground down a slider, the end of the brake lever, and the can. Of course, I didn't have my gear with me (well, I used his helmet at least. And I made d**m sure it didn't touch the ground when I landed. I didn't feel like replacing a $700 Arai) at the time (wasn't expecting to ride given the fact that I didn't have a bike), and as it turns out, a hoodie's sleeves will roll up on you as you're sliding along the ground at 35mph (side note: bikes make really cool sparks when they lowside).
Basically, this is why you wear a good leather jacket:
I now have a dent in my elbow and one wrist, where even some of the fat was taken off. My arm still has rash scar (and probably always will), and that was only at 35mph. If you've never experienced road rash (serious rash. Not the "I fell off my bicycle at 2mph and got a boo-boo" rash), it's fun. Burns like hell, especially when you scrub it to get the asphalt out of it, leaks plasma like a sieve, and looks like bacon when it finally starts to scab over 2 weeks after you get it. The good side? Chicks dig scars and if you act like it doesn't hurt (which it f**king does lol), you look like a bada**
learn to ride before trying to give others advise...and the comment about Kawasakis is absolutely laughable
Ha
