Nice! Thanks for the encouragement. I will be riding a lot of 2up with my fiance this summer, hence the reason for looking for an "upgrade" bike that is a little more capable 2up than little ninjette. So I am trying to make my shifts as smooth as possible, and there is a lot of jerking on this beast.
I rode back from the dealer, and hit a couple of my favorite back roads on it. Still not super comfortable shifting, especially downshifting with rev matching. It is such a second nature on ninjette, I dont even think about it when I blip. I keep overreving on FZ6 and it makes the bike lurch forward. I logged about 150 miles on this bike so far.
Gonna go back to the basics, I think. Gonna hit an empty parking lot, and spend a couple of hours doing MSF drills.
