First of all, I would like to state that I know the risks and all precautions that should be taken when purchasing a motorcycle. I've rode several times and spent the passed year daily on a riding on a bike, but financial issues are making me reconsider, so please no lecturing me on how a supersport should not be for a beginner.
I learned to ride on my friend's Ninja 250r, but knowing how to ride and having experience are two different things. I wanted to purchase the 250r to gain experience before upgrading to the ZX6R. But I am planning on immediately shipping the motorcycle to Europe because I currently study here. It is not cheap to send because I have to pay for shipping plus additional taxes to reregister the vehicle in Europe. I've always been more of an aggressive driver, and am used to having power. I don't take my vehicles to the fullest, but I am used to having that power... I will get bored and very unsatisfied with the 250r by the time this season is over.
It is not worth it for me to spend in total $8,000 for a 250 when I will end up trying to sell it by the end of the season. Because of this I am now considering purchasing the ZX6R from the start.
That said, I would like to know if any of you have started off with the ZX6R and please share your experience. Was the weight of the bike too much for you to handle to start off with, etc.
Thank you in advance!!
To Mr. Smartypants: The bike costs equivalent to $16,000 new out here, and I do not plan purchasing a used motorcycle which is highrevving such as this one since not everyone knows how to treat it right.
