my bike i just finished up

[Toof]

I've had no problem with fast cars. First car my dad ever bought me was an 87' Mustang foxback 5.0...learned to drive a stick on that beast. 16 behind the wheel of that, + the tickets I garnered = pops put me in a Camry, lol. I love bikes, don't think I'm confident enough (training might fix that) to get behind the (2) wheels of one.

Toof - hook up with a local Motorcycle Safety Foundation class and go from there.   I don't see any reason a 145lber can't safey handle a middleweight bike.   

I started on a Kawi 550 and really enjoyed it.    Had a CBR600 for a few years after that and still miss it.

yea its a 03 ZX6R but hopefully not for long  ive got my eyes set on a '08 ZX10R motor those things are extremely nasty w/ power and torque more than the haybusa and the ZX14 ive read reviews sayin it has 186-192 hp to the wheel and its about $2200

Yes they are.

However, the 10R 04' motor has more power and a slightly more vicious power curve, Kwack lessened the top end tuning in 05' cos too many noobs were flipping them.  Also, get yourself a power commander and remove the speed limiter in the software or it'll run out of puff at 186mph.

here's a question to kick around for discussion.

On a certain other BBS the statement has been made that a single front brake disc is enough for any bike and bikes with twin discs (like mine) spit riders off over the handlebars.

I disagree.

Awesome job on the bike.  My 07 ZX-14 is in the garage right now needing a new body....gravel+rear tire+ditch=disaster.  That's a nice color too, I was looking at something like that or a polished metal look to go on it now.

horse twaddle
I rode a Buell xb12r for 20 mins on a racetrack at racetrack speeds, this bike only has one (huge) front disc with a radially mounted calliper. This bike had serious stopping power. Way more effective than my gsxr 750 which was supposed to be a production superbike just like Matt Mladins, but seriously if anyone gets thrown over the bars under front brakes they should just stop riding, period, they are not very good at controling their vehicle.

horse twaddle wasn't for you swoop but for the stratement from the other forum
