Hater. Actually I dig yours, green and purple right? I love 90's styled bikes with gaudy 90's paint schemes

I will admit that I will usually take the 250R if I know the ZX6R is low on gas out of laziness. Can't complain about the 55-60MPG I get either. |

My fuel light on the ZX6R goes on at around 100-110 miles, but I do have a Speedohealer installed (my speedometer was about 8% generous) so it'll probably go on later at around 120 or so miles on a stock bike. |

I get 200 +/- a few before I have to switch to reserve on my 500 just for reference. farthest I went was 235 then I had to push it through the last intersection into the gas station lmao. I ride incredibly aggressive too so the gas mileage I get amazes me

I've gotten to 150 miles before getting gas with my gsxr but I don't like to go much above 120 miles unless I know gas isn't too far. So roughly 40 mpg is what I get and I'd assume the others get the same depending on riding style. Definitely not as great as the ninja, but much better than my suv.

I've read plenty of stories of very experienced 250 riders keeping up with and sometimes overtaking less experienced riders of 600cc bikes on twisties. And for the other case well, if ya know how to use all of your assets and skills properly in a tight "riding" situation, you'll always come out on top compared to the other guy who doesn't know what he's doing, goes way too fast on a "machine" he doesn't know how to ride, and blows it before he knows what happened. |

What is Americas obsession with Chinese parts on their motorcycles?
I see it on every international bike forum, 90% of riders get a new bike and the first thing they want to do is remove new genuine parts and install the cheapest anodized cheese parts that you wouldn't put on your kids bicycle. |

You forgot to say that more women = bigger drain on bank account so that ends up making you in the negative so your big CC ends up being just a show.

Average on Fuelly is around the 40 MPG mark, I doubt you'll get 45-50 MPG.

Americans obsession with more/bigger?
Surely this is part of a bigger series of "Why everyone hates 'merika" |
