Once I am on it I am sure you will be right. Quick pic of it at the dealership:

I was almost one of those people who walked off the course. The first day I was sooooo beyond frustrated I almost walked. Spent a hour or two that night deciding whether or not to go back for the second day. My problem was me and that I was so tense and rigid on the bike I was causing myself...

This season will begin on a new 2012 ZX6R :agave:. I will miss my 250 but time to move on.

At RTI the teach you not to cover the break. It's a bad habit when learning because there is a bigger chance of a doing an accidental panic break. Like others when I am doing slow manoeuvres or intersections with traffic and pedestrians I do the two finger cover. After time you will get the...

I'm with SF too. When I insured my new 2012 Ninja 250 they didn't need pictures since it was new and from the dealer. My agent said if it was a used bike pictures would have been required which they would come and do when they had the chance.

Here are a few things I would look at, though I think most have already been covered by others...... 1) Which is cheaper on insurance 2) Do you plan to keep if for more that two or three years? If you plan to keep it then I would go with the 300. If think you will get the upgrade bug in the...

I was a few days away from buying a new 2012 ZX6r last month. Had to put things on hold as I apparently need to get some surgery done at the end of March which means I won't be riding until end of May or early June. Still contemplating on making a deal as I really want a new ride this season.

Good idea!!! I'm looking to move up to an SS this year and being 40 I can afford the insurance :)

If you can find stock locally. I always had that issues. Bought everything except my riding jeans and TCX boots from that site. They were about the same price as local, I also did two exchanges as I messed up on my sizing since I had no experiences it. Quick and easy and no charges. But if...

I've used Google and Revzilla for gear reviews. As for buying online, I have always had good luck with canadasmotorcycle.ca

My only concern from a new riders point of view is to watch out for all that sand, salt and loose gravel left from snow plows. I think it was mentioned before in this thread or another recent thread. Something I'll be considering before heading out since this is my first spring. My bike is...

Before I got my bike last year my car was washed and detailed every two weeks. Got my bike end of July 2012 and since then my car got it's first wash 2 weeks ago and the interior done. So don't feel bad now, save that for later when it totally neglect your car!!!

Okay, he should buy my 2012 - 250r then :)

I can relate for sure! Ninja 250s are great and I love mine but you described a couple of reasons of why I am looking forward to a 600.

I second! Great list. This will be my second season riding, I can't wait to start riding again but also have a bit of that nervousness that I had last year too. It will be 5 months from when I stored my bike until I get on the road again. I know the nerves will go away quickly once I'm on...

No arguing over the stats. Just saying not all of us new riders crash our new bikes. Telling new riders that they are going to crash and not to get a new bike because of that is IMO the wrong message. Hell my next bike I hope to have when spring arrives will be a new 2012 ZX6r, I know the...

Where I live they were doing resurfacing on one of the main double lane highways last year. When I hit that resurfaced area to me felt like the bike was sliding all over the place. I too have a Ninja 250. I know the back end WAS NOT sliding, it just felt like it. The whole bike was...

I was and I am still a little tempted by this bike too. It would be a very nice upgrade from the Ninja 250R. However for me I am really wanting a 600 and I am looking at the 2012 ZX-6R as my next bike. If I didn't have my heart set on a 600cc the CBR500 would be top of the list.

Agreed, my 250 was never dropped or low sided or anything. I mean if everyone crashed their first bike could you imagine how high our Ontario insurance rates would go?! Oh, I am sure $2,500 sounds low for a 2010 Ninja, just saying that is all it is worth and the most I would ever think about...
