Why is she nuts

I think it's good of her if she's not comfy on the 600.

I was looking for a bigger bike but changed my mind cause Kernie is just perfect for me

I say You Go Girl

GPX600s are lighter than ZZR600s. I know where you might get a cheap one too...

so if u werent comfortable with ya girly boobs when they grew a few sizes would ya go get em cut off?? HELL NO...ud learn to live with em... (well i would if i grew some)

theres sum bikes out there that rival the zzr weight wise, and have the same kinda power...

did u consider Angel a zx6r, or the more timid and easy to handle version..the cbr600??

Maybe we can get a group discount

I see no need for a bigger bike as of yet, still many of hours to learn and practice. And hell i love it, so im not changing just got my licence says i can!

Girls on bikes ROCK!

i reckon u'd be crazy to go to a zxr250.
they're just so unrefined and lack power. even if they are the best sports 250 on the market, you'll just sacrifice so much, especially comfort. zzr250 would be a better option, but only just. from what i've heard of the zxr400, they're fantastic for their size, but again imports can be difficult.

i reckon a zx6 could be a goer.
or maybe a z750. i dunno how heavy they are but they naked, so they must be a bit lighter.

go see a few dealers sit on plenty of bikes. take em off thje sidestand and see how you handle the weight. or take a test ride.

and remember get a bike that suits your needs not your loaylty.
a green cbr600 would certainly be different.

Very wise advice, Vince - well worded

yeah i know its dumb.. but having the zzr250.. then crashing it on putty.. off the road for a year - riding... and getting on a ZZR600 - yeah.. was ok riding it. but it was too heavy for me - i couldnt even push the bike backwards wen i parked - and yep even the pushing on the front forks to bounce the bike back didnt even work.. or move 1 cm.. so for me it just wasnt a practical bike for me to ride - need more muscles and talls

i think for now, im going the zxr250 or 400 - lighter to handle.. and only really want something to get back on the road.. and build my confidence back up..

but yeah.. looking at spending around $4,000- $4,500.

If you can find one, a ZXR400 would be perfect, except that they may be a little uncomfortable after a ZZR. What's better is that if/when the motor decides not to play anymore, a ZZR600 donk bolts in ...

yep i would say a zxr400 would be a good thing if you can get your hands on one.
