Nice Ninja!!! Take care of that flighty beast, but not to sound to discouraging, i saw a horrific accident yesterday on the North Circular Road (A406) near Neasden involving a Ninja 6, R6 and Gilera DNA. Respect the power of the machine and it'll respect you back Wink

. Please take absolute care of yourselves and savour the moment! Thumbs Up

Very nice indeed. Be bloody careful though !!

I'm getting a ZX6 in a few months when I come back to the UK and I've only had a year on a ratty old GPZ500 so id b interested to hear how you get on with it, any problems, how easy it is to handle etc.....

Anyhoo - good luck

Very nice

And as for it being your first proper bike, well, the throttle is in your hands, have fun, enjoy and be safe.. Very Happy

Aye im well aware a machine of this magnitude could easily put me into a wall / any inanimate object of your choosing . I have a rather healthy respect for life and im in no rush to end it prematurely . I fully intend to break myself in gently , and i just fell for this bike when i saw it . IMHO the best colour scheme available for it .

Just need to get that pass on tuesday now .

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Bit of a beast as a first bike. Shocked

Have fun!

Good lad, another green blooded fan Cool

I used to have a green G2, but I blew the engine up (twice Embarassed

)

Keep an eye on your oil level, cos it's over a grand for a new engine!

Have fun and take it easy

Oh and PM sent to you Wink

Is that the standard screen or aftermarket taller?

Looks useful, either way.

Tis a good-looking bike.

I do believe its an aftermarket screen , got the reciept for it somewhere i'm sure . I saw so many reciepts for tyres , crash doobries on the fairing , services , brake pads etc etc i can't be sure though .

Just for reference, Keith had a ride on my J2 on sunday and the first thing he said was 'Thats very easy to ride'.

The second was back to his normal self 'Your front tyre pressure is low'.

Very nice bike mate. My first proper bike is a 600 Thundercat. Be sensible with it and you should be ok, they are only dangerous when you do something stupid.
