Fallen Ninja

Me, too. Wanna go halfers

First bike eh? I have read loads on what would be an appropriate first bike and the overwhelming view is that a litre is too much too handle, but I tend to take the view that it will only go as fast as you make it so what is the problem? Anyway as for gas mileage, I havent really monitored it that closely yet so no figures but I am expecting about 35 to the gallon which over here in mother England is about 12 to 13 pence per mile now we have gone through the £5 per gallon threshold (just over 10 Canadian dollars) I just love where the pwer is on this, no low down power on the ZX6R but with this it's all the way through the mid to upper range. Take it easy

Yep, just taking mine in for its first service - God I love this bike How are you finding yours, what did you come from, I came from an 05 ZX6R after 1 winter and having passed my test last year

Just beacame a Yamaha Owner last week, so I thought I would clock on. Anyway got me an 06 R1 in yellow, absolutely spectaculer to ride. some piccies of me pride and joy http://www.metrading.co.uk/images/r1_1.jpg http://www.metrading.co.uk/images/r1_2.jpg http://www.metrading.co.uk/images/r1_3.jpg http://www.metrading.co.uk/images/r1_4.jpg GJ
