Gurk, your story is miles away from the OP's current plan. So far, about the only thing they have in common is you both didn't ride the ninja for very long. This thread would be totally different if he was following your path. I bet we all would be cheering the young lad on.

Monkeytofu · July 24th, 2012, 05:07 PM

I'm also wondering how you found the transition. The amount of effort needed to turn is a huge pain IMO.

---

1200 dollars for insurance? Wut.

The most basic insurance for my 250 was 70 dollars a year. I stepped up my plan to 98 dollars a year to get a bunch of other things. I wish I had that kind of money to spend on insurance haha.

Jiggles · July 24th, 2012, 05:33 PM

Step it up some more

Yeah basic for me was about 130$, it's 1200 for full coverage. The transition wasn't too bad, the only thing is that the seating position on the R6 is a hell of a lot more aggressive. Turning is definitely not a problem.

Trailerboy531 · July 24th, 2012, 08:05 PM

I refuse to believe that a 15 year old child is paying $1200/year for full coverage on a 599cc Super Sport motorcycle.

Jiggles · July 24th, 2012, 08:06 PM

15 yr old children have parents

that was for the ninjette, with low deductibles. r6 is about 3k with low deductibles.

Jiggles · July 24th, 2012, 08:31 PM

Robert, for whatever reason I can't respond to that message you left me so I'll just respond here. I'm picking the 1000 up this week but unfortunately I will not be able to race you with it. Instead, I'd like a race with you that would actually be mildly challenging so I'll be bringing my 250 down to SoCal once I get my race mods finished. I will urge you that once you start falling behind not to push yourself too hard, I wouldn't want your parents to have to pay higher premiums because you wrecked your R6. I know wrecking your R6 is very tempting since it will give you the opportunity to own a zx10r but again I strongly urge you not to. The college fund your parents set up for you is quickly running out of money as they fund your toys and I think it would be beneficial to you in the long run if you could at least afford a couple semesters of community college.

I am looking forward to spanking you at our upcoming race.

krolinked · July 24th, 2012, 08:42 PM

LMAO @Jiggles.
But on a real note, you should definitely find an experienced riding buddy and have him/her sort of mentor you on what you should be working on so that you can work your skills up.

Jiggles · July 24th, 2012, 08:44 PM

Listen to krolinked, you will need all the help you can get to survive this race.

krolinked · July 24th, 2012, 08:51 PM

Come to think of it, I think it would be a great idea to have a sort of mentor list where people can volunteer to help show new riders the ropes.
Like a big brother program lol
What do you think @Alex?

Jiggles · July 24th, 2012, 08:54 PM

I think this is the wrong thread for such a good idea lmao

Mocha Man · July 24th, 2012, 09:28 PM

I know you're getting a lot of crap (and understandably so), so I will keep my thoughts to myself as I'm sure you don't want to hear them and just compliment you on your amazing bike. Have fun but PLEASE be safe.

Jono · July 24th, 2012, 10:26 PM

I hope that this is all just a joke and your parents didn't really buy you an R6.

Jiggles · July 24th, 2012, 10:26 PM

If it is I'ma be pissed when I get down there

Compooky · July 24th, 2012, 10:40 PM

Something other than riding skills to work on is basic bike maintenance and how to properly install mods yourself rather than having parents pay someone else to do it. If you got the r6 to impress people, it's a good idea to not sound like an idiot when talking about the mechanics of it.

dubojr1 · July 25th, 2012, 05:46 AM

I guess I'm doing it all wrong...

I bought a 250R and then sold my CBR 1000RR.

Miles_Prower · July 25th, 2012, 06:33 AM

i just want to know what he does to be able to afford $3,000 insurance on his own. that's a lot of cash to throw away...
