Yamaha FZ6R

So when I started on my motorcycle adventure, I originally was thinking of something cheap and fuel economical. A bike one of my friends recommended to me was a used Kawasaki Ninja 250.

Little did I know that bike is in hot demand.

In the first 10 minutes since I stepped foot into the store, the two Ninjas (one used, one new) were sold. My remaining choices were a cruiser and the Yamaha. I was not going to ride around in a cruiser. Totally not cute.

After a lot of thinking, going back and forth, I decided to get the 2011 Yamaha FZ6R. I really didn’t want to leave the store without a bike, and I didn’t think I would have any luck at the other motorcycle shops in the area (I checked their inventories online). Managed to haggle it down a little, too, but I’m also pretty sure I could have haggled it down a lot more if I only pushed.

So now I have a bike in my garage and it’s awesome. Since I started crunching recently, I only have the weekends to ride. I also realized that leather is really, really hot in the summer, so I only practiced twice on it. This weekend is a wash because of Comic-Con, so hopefully next weekend I’ll get to practice on it.
