I have been riding for roughly 25-30 years all of which were touring bikes from Goldwings and Harleys..
I just picked up a 1990 Kaw 600.
My first C.R.
it has 16,770 miles runs strong
I have to replace the tail fairing which the tabs were broke when i bought the bike, but in looking for the parts i keep seeing zx6r zx6d etc.... I'm trying to figure out the differences and so forth but keep running into dead ends.
Anyways New from Jersey. keep the rubber side down.
Sounds like your over 40, so am I by a couple of decades.
Once you get the bike running well, do yourself a favor and do some TRACK day's. You will learn what your bike can do and how to actually ride it.
I've got close to 40 years on motorcycles. After doing my first track day found out I actually had one year experience 35 times.
Still working on bad habits but having a blast doing it..
Thanks for the welcome, Indy..
Yeah, I'm 45 soon to be 46.
Track Days, huhmmm maybe us old guys can learn something new... I've logged well over 100,00 miles and of course lots of bad habits..
Trust me, with a decent track day organization. You will be humbled, have more fun than you ever have had with your cloth's on and learn more than you could possible imagine.
Wish I could have started doing track days at your age. I started at 55.
I'm hoping to do that school one day.
Want to get the basic bad habits I have first. Why spend big bucks for them to tell me what I already know.
For this old man, repetition is what I need.
Looking at my last pic's from Barber keeping body position even on a new track is something I can't do yet.
I was so worried about learning the new track and not crashing I forgot body the basic's.
Start simple, twist of the wrist II on youtube.
Total control riding course, Novice track days. Then visit Keith.
Welcome NJ. No worries about age. I am older than you and racing =) Track days are a walk in the park. I teach at the Penguin school (which does days at NJMP) and my last class the average age was 51 so you have nothing to worry about.
