I´m sure it´ll look really nice once you have finished the re-construction... :riding:
P.S.: Really nice colour...

[xzpolskix]

Yea, it's a nice color, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be keeping it. We'll see what happens

Have you ever had a R1. I was just wondering if there was an avantage to the R6 since it seems that there are alot more of them around.

[xzpolskix]

Never had an R1. R6's are good if you ride a lot in the twisties since they are a lot easier to throw around. The R1's are more or less meant for straight line 190mph driving.
I'm still a rookie to the riding world, only been riding about a year now so an R6 is plenty for right now.

So it's the same basic thing of why I like to ride yz125s better. They have enough power to keep up with the 250 in the trails and sometimes better because you can throw it all over the place without getting gassed quick.
