It's not really a race bike. I need something with higher foot pegs. I hate it when the pegs scrape the ground when cornering.
I got about 3k miles on it now. I could probably go another 5k before I getting absolutely bored, but being impulsive and all, trading up
now seems like a great idea.

Take the feelers off of the footpegs (they unscrew) and get yourself some Michelin Pilot power medium/soft compound tires. You be amazed of the difference.

I'll try that, thanks, I'll hold off on the tires until the stock ones wear off.
The R6 is one sexy looking bike, though. I went to the dealership today to check it out and almost walked out with it.
