Just found this forum, seems to have LOTS of good info. I've been away from sportbikes since the late 80s. My last one was an 87 750 Ninja. Anyway I kinda got the urge again and just bought a used 02 zx6r. Feels really good to be riding again. Just hope I'm a little more responsible than I was last time. That bike caused me a few problems back then

Okay, I'll show my ignorance, what's MSF?
I just started getting gear. Got a Shoei TZ1, Just ordered a Joe Rocket 990 on closeout from New Enough and am currently looking for boots/gloves. At the moment I'm still using some of my dual sport gear.
