Another R6 newbie online

[SMLMarine]

I have been riding for about 3 years now and am looking for a new adrenaline boost. I haven't ridden for 7 months or so due to my current stint overseas, but upon my return I am joining the ranks of countless R6 riders like yourselves. I learned on a liter cruiser then dropped down to a SV650s, is the R6 a logical step in my bike riding career?

defenitly man, the sv aint no slouch but the R6 is just so much more fun then it, IMO. but welcome man and come back safely

You'll be fine on the R6. The sv has more torque but its a different class all together. Be safe with whatever you get and if you have time take the MSF course to get your skills back!!

[SMLMarine]

Believe me...If I could afford both I would keep the SV in a heart beat.

Thanks for the info and support.
