    You will be surprised how much easyer it is to go faster on the 600. All that new modern tech sure helps.

    Wot he sed.

    You will now have the power to exit corners much faster than on the 250 but at first you'll be entering the corners slower coz of caution...y'know - that butt clenching quality that screams "don't scratch the shiny bits - don't scratch the shiny bits!" inside your head.

    Seriously - you're a competent rider - you'll be comfortable on the Gixxer in no time....so long as you remember to look forward from time to time :
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Yeah i am hoping that is the case, i waxed the bike on sunday, and it looks like a new bike... i want to shiny parts to remain!!!

    Looking forward is soooo overrated, i just need to learn to ride in and OUT of ditches...that is the key
    But seriously, that has to have been on eof the STUPIDEST things i did in a while...who rolls into a ditch at like 20kph??? For some dumb reason, i spent too much of my riding time looking behind me that day...lesson learnt.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
