I didn't want to put "is an r6 a good beginner bike?" right in the title, I figured that would invite a whole bunch of people to come bash me to death. That being said, my situation is a little more complicated than that.
I've been riding dirt bikes for three years or so. I've gotten to the point where I feel "one with the bike", I feel very confident on it.
I know that a street bike is an entirely different animal, so I don't want to assume that I'll be completely at home on one right away.
If I had no motorcycle experience whatsoever, I would right away go with a 250. BUT, given that I have past experience on two wheels and am quite confident on the dirt, would a R6(or similar) be okay for me?
With appropriate caution and respect, I think I can pull it off without incident. But I want your opinions!!!
Actually, zx6r. That is the bike I'm looking at now, not r6.
