At least not on the back of the bike. The 650R was cleaned and reg'd and ridden for the first time in months! Oh my how I missed that thing. I was laughing like an idiot half the time I was on it. Only went 30 miles though, 51 degrees gets cold at 50 mph. That and my back started to tweak out

Though there's a problem, now that I have a quick car, my Ninja feels... Slow. I know it's not, I was wringing the throttle out thinking "man, this thing feels slo--ohmygod I'm doing 70 into this corner!" but it just doesn't have the same feel of grunt the car does. I think it's time for an upgrade, or a change of bike style.

Wow, I had the opposite feeling. I was so glad to get on the bike, it moved so much smoother then the clunk a$$ car I was driving. Accelerated better, everything! But then again my car is prob a piece of tin compared to yours

What does skunks have to do with you thinking a 650R is slow???

LOL, good question!!

everything. Not really. Skunk smells good when it's not filtered through a car's air system is all. Everything seems to come alive when you're on a bike, more than it can in any car.

Though I think it may be getting time for new tires

Ninja,

How I envy you your neighourhood!

I have a Saab turbo and a Kwaki but here in my part of the UK there's no place to enjoy them outside a track day. Last week I picked up a speeding fine and three points for doing 40mph in a 30mph on a country road. Just didn't spot the sign.

The Kwaki doesn't come alive at 30mph, and neither do I.

Maybe the alternative is skunk and a Sony Playstation, but it's just not the same.

Step up to the ZX-6R... Two more pistons makes a world of difference

If not the ZX6, i'd go with a ZZR600 (if you wanna stay with kawa.)
