Really good point. I never even considered the implications with insurance.

Nope. Involved in a crash and there's a crack in the front frame.

Has anyone done a frame swap before? If so, please PM me!

Ya that is a gorgeous bike. I've tried shopping around but they are literally all too tall. Even a CBR500 was too tall for me. I understand that you compromise the performance when you mess around with lowering it, i was just planning on it for maybe the first season until i get more...

From a girl's perspective it's not very different! I find that unless the guy also rides, or has a passive interest in bikes they just think you're nuts!

I plan on lowering it until I get used to the bike, then see how it goes-like if i would feel comfortable holding it up with one foot down at a light. I hate to do it, but that's what short people have to do!

Ya i'm pretty much in the same boat. It's been my favorite bike in that class since I first saw it- and then seeing it in person, it's like none of the other bikes there even existed! What was it like going from a 250 to the Daytona? Is it hard to get used to how much more sensitive the throttle is?

Thanks- that is a really good suggestion. To be honest, I didn't think of that, but is probably a really good idea since i've never been on a sport bike before. Have you taken either course?

Wow, i've never heard about that with respect to insurance. if that's the case i'm sol since basically every bike but a cruiser is too tall for me!

gsxr600 was one of my top choices for a while actually. was it overwhelming going from the 500 to 600? One thing i'm prepared for is a super responsive throttle and brakes. What were some of the things you found scariest on your first ride? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I actually called up a friend who had an FZ6R and recently got gsxr750, and he said it was still a massive adjustment for him. I've been thinking for a while that I wanted a sport bike next. I was thinking maybe the end of the season, or next year. But i was actually hit by a car last week...

I don't think that's an option-I'm 5'3 so would need to have it lowered, at least until I'm more used to the bike and feel comfortable holding it up at a light with one foot down.

What would be the advantage of getting an older SS?Or are you strictly talking from the perspective of potentially dropping it?

I don't think that's an option-I'm 5'3 so would need to have it lowered, at least until I'm more used to the bike and feel comfortable holding it up at a light with one foot down.

Wow, that is a big leap! I have 2 years of riding experience. Still love the cruiser, but also want to try a sport bike!

Hi, I have been riding for a couple of years on a Vulcan 500. I wanted to try out a sport bike next, and have been eyeballing a few in the 600cc class (namely GSXR and CBR). However, when i made the trip to the local dealership, I saw the Triumph Daytona and all the other models went right out...
