That would be covered under "what have you".... or "what don't have you"....

Do what with the who now?

I start my training tomorrow. They promise by the end of the week I'll be able to lift 3 pounds and within a month I should be up to small furry woodland creatures.

I read both reviews. Both CW and Motorcyclist seemed to think that it is an even better beginners bike than the SV650. It has a lower seat height, a tad less power (though not enough to make any real difference in acceleration numbers, and most of all they said it was much easier to control at low speed when compared to the SV650 (which is known for being touchy at low speeds).

I have personally sat on both an SV and a ninja 650 and I find the ninja to be a much more comfortable position than the SV (not that the SV is bad, at least the naked one).

In the head to head comparison they said that the Ninja would make a better commuter and is friendlier to short riders, and the SV is the better backroad blaster.

The ZZR is definately not beginner material, its simply the pre-636 ZX-6 with pretty much no change except for its appearance (even the bars and seat are the same, I have sat on the ZZR and a '99 ZX-6 and the riding position was identical).

I have been considering the ZZR as a second bike.

I hear the squirrels and rabbits are alright, but watch them dam gophers..... they can be killers.

we got better than gophers down here. We got prarie dogs, they are like gophers on steroids

Dude if I can't handle a gopher what makes you think I'll be any better off with a prairie dog? Think man, think! Trying to get me killed or something?



Edit: Wow this is....really really off topic...

We got the same gophers you got down there. They's easier to pick off from the window of the truck than them bitty little ones.

In fact, if you were dropped blindfolded into Wyoming, Eastern Montana, The Dakotoas, Southern Alberta or Southern Sask, you would be hard pressed to tell where you landed until you came to a road sign. Or some of that funky red pavement you guys have in Wyoming.

Sand, I believe, is the correct terminology.

I'd rock a Ninja 650. Though i duno if I'd rather have a SV60S.

the red pavement is at the other end of the state. Most pavement here is dusty brown or extremely beat up black.
