hi guys im craig from liverpool england, recently passed my full bike test and after a short while riding a boring gs500 decided to get my self a used r6 as i have always loved the bike its a 1999 white red and black in colour and i love it. just saying hi and feel free to offer any advice

Welcome. So glad i passed my test years ago, its all very confusing now.

yeah im quite lucky really passed with no issues but i have had riding experience before with motocross it was a bit daunting at first though on the road but im getting there taking small steps at a time getting used to my bike

Welcome craig,,,, bet that GS500 WAS exciting eh,,,

haha i was trying to do the sensible thing as sooooooo many people warned me off the r6 but yeah i didnt enjoy it at all for some reason i cant upload the picture of my bike anyone any idea why i am a mac user if this makes any differance? thanks guys

greetings Craig

thanks for the welcome all

hi excuse the muck the photo was taken the day i bought it so its all clean and looked after now hope you like

oh the bike has full service history 17k miles on it and well loved

nice bike how was the test i was going to do my test and get a big bike the some just gone but lost job now winter coming got a new job and now going to wait till summer comming any things to watch out for/ to prepair myself for ?

thanks mate yeah the test was surprisingly ok, i was a bit nervous at first, but they have module 1 which is slow control manouvers such as u turn and figure of eight etc and emergency stops and hazard avoidance well you swerve in between 2 cones at about 30 mph not really that difficult but i was nervous doing the u turn as u cant touch the floor its an instant fail. module 2 is a road test they follow you in a car and you follow a set route i found this to be the easier of the 2 modules simply cause im used to being on the road they are big on observations and road positioning your supposed to command your road space. i can pass you my old book on the full test of you decide to go ahead and do it it took me about 4 weeks to do the whole thing from cbt to full lisence but thats only cause of my work commitments you can do it in a week if you pass everything first time good luck and let me know how you get on

Nice looking bike Craig. Welcome to the forum.

yeah she's a beaut Craig

thanks guys
