Out of all bikes available on the market, why this one?
acouple reasons its nice (i know not a good reason to get it for that)
some of my friends have 600cc bikes they say there not bad to learn on at all. im 6'4 and a 600cc fits me well im comfortable and after my classes im gonna take some more safty classes so i think i can handle a r6.
When I was at MSF I told my instructorS ( They have been riding bikes for about 30 years) how I was going to buy a gixxr 750 as my first bike and how I ended up getting ninja 250, he said one can start with any bike he/she wants as long as the know what the beast can do.

They said that it is all depends on how much risk one is willing to take. If I am in control of myself, know what the bike is capable of, stick to DOs and DOnts, never go beyond my skills and do not take much risk then I can start with any bike I want.

In any case I dont regret buying a 250. And YES there were times that I was glad that this bike wasnt a 600.

As for the R6; All I know is that my next bike is going to be an R6 and I am planing on getting one as soon as I save enough money to buy my beast.
:D
And when I took my MSF course, I told the instructors that I at first wanted an R1 or a cbr 1k, since I thought my previous dirt bike amature racing experience would be enough to know what a bike can do under many different conditions, many not encounted on the road... and then I saw the light and got a 500 instead... and they said it was the best thing that could have happened to me, even more so than taking the course.

There was a guy who also had previous dirt bike experience, scored one point higher on the ridden portion of the test(the first day I was well ahead of everyone, but the second day I was pretty tired and sunburt, later on I got sick after the course) so got a perfect score, and had already bought a Zx-14 before hand. The instructors still told him to get another bike to learn. They even joked with him about sharing my bike.
