Thats a nice bike also Bro. I have already ordered the rear fender eliminator(sp), Chrome pegs, clutch lever, brake lever, d & d exhaust, carb jets, rear cowl, and a set of chrome rims. It should all be in within 3-4 weeks and i will post some more picks.

Yeah I am going to get the fender eliminator and probably some high mount slipons.

Check out www.sportbikes.net some cool people there.

I got most of my parts from katriders.com

It is a board for mainly katana riders. I will check that one out also. I am trying to find some diffrent sprockets. My bike isnt really that powerful so in order to get it to stand up with just a roll on the throttle i will have to change out the sprocket. That is what i was told anyways. I was hoping that the jets and the pipe would help alot also tho.

Do you like the open design or are you going to get the full fairing for your bike?

Changing the sprocket will destroy your top end if you go too low and will also make it a chore to ride on the start off and in the wet if you ever have too. I say leave the sprocket alone and just clutch it up or bounce it up.

I would recommend a used bike (good) or an enduro (better) as a first bike. That way, if you lay it down (and chances are, you will when you are inexperienced), you won't feel as bad and the only thing hurt will be your pride, not your wallet.

I agree 100%. Also I don't know one person that's not tired of there 600cc(any brand) after 6 months and want a step up. You get the used bike, it will give you all the immediate gratification and a chance to learn. Remember that you are not learning how to ride so much as you are learning how to react.

I got a Kawasaki EX-500 as my first bike a long time ago. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't get a sportsbike, even though the EX-500 is has a very relaxed design compared to a true sportsbike like the Ninja line.

I would get a used enduro. These things are rugged and have very little plastic, so if you lay it down, you will get away with just some scratches. Just as important, the riding position on an enduro is really relaxed, not in some crouched racing position. I found that riding comfort is very useful to getting comfortable overall with bike handling.

X2- Also, a new r6 can get going pretty fast really quick without you realizing it. Especially when you havent been riding too long.

I like the look of it now.Sort of the street fighter look, but with some wind protection
