Hello,
This is my first post here. I also live near Portland, and an appropriate bike for the rain deffinately effects my considerations as to which bike will be best.
I have always liked the supersport bikes. I have about 10 hours a day, 3 weeks a year, for five years in a row (from age 14 to 19) going camping and riding dirt bikes... that was a long time ago, but does it count as "Riding Experience"?
I'm likin' the SV650 myself.... but mostly because it is reccomended. I like the GSX-r600, but I agree that a true race bike would not be good for a first street bike.
Would anyone be willing to tell me that I am sane and logical to think that a ZZR-600 with it's more relaxed ergo's, along with the fact that I am in my mid 30's and do not have desires to do stunts and stupid kid stuff.... that an I-4 is okay?
I know,... I know... I rode a dirtbike for 10 minutes, so know I am an expert Hayabusa 1300cc Street Rider!!!
Maybe my question is really this: "Is the ZZR 600 have it's engine tuned more mildly than the previous generation ZX-6?" I understand that the ergo's are slightly more upright. I commute for about an hour a day....
Respectfully,
Alex
