im kind of reconsidering making that purchase just yet. today was probably the fourth day ive rode my new 6r and i was bustin som muthafukin wheelies. 1st, 2nd, even a 3rd gear at a 100+!!!!!!!!! had to hit a bump for that third gear but who cares, I LOVE THIS BIKE. im such a dumbass though. this is exactly how i wrecked my first bike, doin wheelies. but i think there is a difference. that was a 95 fzr 600 which is very heavy and much harder to balance than the 6r. is there any way that a guy with only 3 months experience on a bike and one well learned accident, could somehow escape fate and not wreck this one?? i cant stop im like addicted to wheelies. i ride those wheelies sitting down now something that was impossible on my fzr. i can stand and sit down mid wheelie. hey, maybe ive just got more balls than brains, but i seriosly think i could be a good rider if i can find some way to overcome my addiction.. you know, just be happy with an occasional stoppie or something.
