New Bike - 2009 ZX-6R

[Row]

... What were you on before?

My street ride is a 2014 899 Panigale. I love it. Used to take it to the track in beginner group, but had a big scare on it at Queensland Raceway at Turn 1. Cracked some ribs and mainly rash damage to the 899. Cost me more then I'd care to admit bringing it back to mint condition. Learnt a few valuable lessons that day. So this is my first Track Bike and I was pretty keen to just buy something I could afford to drop, and with a abundant affordable spare parts online. The 899 is just for the street now where it's insured.

Niiiiice Row!! Great great great choice for a first track bike. I tell everyone they should start on a 600... many don't listen and get scared/put off the track very early on.

Don't worry about the fork... It'll be fine.

Cheers Marshy! Yeah, I reckon it'll be OK.

... Might as well ask Paul/Wetty to go over the bike if you're a bit worried as he knows those inside out.

I would love to take it to Wetty but I live in Toowoomba, Qld. But I have found a cool shop here; Jason at JCR Motorcycles & Dyno was Jason Pitt's ZX-6R mechanic in WSS and then went to work for Team Green when they were still in MotoGP. Nice bloke, knows his stuff.

Damn, tough lesson to learn that one!! Glad you and the bike are back in one piece tho.
Track bike is deff the way to go
