From what I've read, the R6 responds very well to turn in, and practically FALLS into turns, however, it does require a little more muscle than the 250, so it doesn't nearly have that flicking feeling when going back and forth between opposite directions. Is that about right Gurk?

*Flame Suit* I was squidding hard the other day trying to make it to work on time. Yes, weaving around cars like crazy. R6 was going exactly where I want it to go when I want it to go and how fast I want it to go. Well ofcourse it was, I was riding it. But what I'm saying is, I don't feel like I'm fighting the bike too much. And I think I now know exactly what they mean when they say R6 front feedback to the rider is a delight. It really is. Yesterday I've revisted some very fast curves (110 Pasadena) I used to ride with the 250. I was waaaaaay more comfortable. Had way more faith in the bike and the front was saying "dude you can go 20mph faster on this turn and be fine." A great feeling I gotta say. I hit this double curve everyday to work. Right and Left. It's friggin awesome to just "jump" from one side to another and the bike working with you. Take all that with a grain of salt though. Eventhough I'm nowhere near a pro, I'm way more experienced now than 2 months ago with the Kawi so that might partially be the reason why I feel more confident on the R6. And another reason might be that the curves I take with the R6 are like 80mph+ curves which ofcourse feel better on R6 cause it's not buzzing like it's gonna explode I'm sure in 40-50mph tight curves kawi is still king. I wish I had more to offer but I've only been commuting with the bike and I'm doing my best pushing myself whenever I can or safe on the little 12mile commute I do everyday to work in hopes of understanding and adjusting to it a bit better. |

That's spot on. I remember my R6 is being a very nimble yet solid/confidence inspiring. It's doesn't need a lot of input to do what you want. Very similar to the 250 yet amplified if you get what I mean.
In contrast (sort of) my RC needs solid confident input but once it's there it's like a freight train and doesn't move unless you make it move. I love that feeling of having to control something with a slight amount of force and it in return rewards you with obedience. I kind of miss that flickable feeling (although the RC is no slouch, I think I would like to have another Fireblade (in addition to another 250 )

Ninjette had the similar feeling for sure! You think about counter steer and your brain already sent the signal to your arms/hands and bike is already turning before you even realized it. I'm not trying to sell anyone on R6. Just sharing excitement But anyway. Yes I'm happy with my choice so far. Very happy. |

Damn been a while since I checked this thread.
Since I bought it, I'm glad to say no crashes (well I did lay down once going 0mph lol. It was also on my frame slider. No scratches. Nothing. I got lucky!) I also tracked it once!!!! Some of the best time I had in my life. Seriously... I feel very comfortable on it. Although it's still the least comfortable 600, you really do get used to it. Still in love <3 |

Thanks!!
Well all depends on perception. In the grand scheme of things, I sucked. But for someone who started riding August, I think I showed good improvement in one day. (13 seconds between worst and best lap). And I wasn't the slowest on track, not that it's a race. So yeah most important thing is, it was an amazing first experience I want more! Already have 4 track tickets for 2012. Aiming for 15 total. |

Gurk, you're sitting too straight on the bike... put your chest on the tank. Also, Ur right arm appears too stiff.

Nice Gurk, glad to see you get out there and do work! Just have fun, stay loose and smooth on the track and keep learning just like we all do. More pics plz! or start your own track day report thread.
Yes Sir! I am loving mine. Weather has kept me from riding as of late and no local track time for me until next year. Trying to work up a Jennings trip though in Jan. but that don't look it's gunna happen either . I have been on a few group rides and a few spirited pace rides since getting it. And still no mods... maybe santa will be good to me. (crosses fingers) Last time I was in the garage the ninja wined at me, it nearly brought a tear to my eye. I know it's wanting to take me for a ride but I haven't ridden it since getting the 6. Next time... I promise.

Agreed with both. On my very last session I was actually focusing on that. A few times I was able to completely relax in a lean. Like spending little to no effort to stay on the bike. Will come with practice hopefully.
