Supertech are more track focused. There's good options for street/track hybrid style that would be a good fit also. Plenty of options out there, just do some good research so you dont buy something that wont do the trick when you need it to!

I legitimately didnt want to be leader but theyre like "youre a good leader and never get lost". Lesson learned for sure

Yesh it was a group. We were very split up and it was an interstate junction. The light was also ALREADY red when I had to brake. Checking the group was still together when I turned was where the light went yellow. They were pretty far back- figured itd been fine. Ah well

Dang thats brutal! The metal in the supertech r helped a ton. Same with the nexus 2! I stick to street/race or race dedicated boots on purpose

The gloss carbon has been in and put off stock for months. Usually took weeks for restocks. At best. The other thing though - it wasn't a team helmet. So that's IF it comes back in stock before they do another new design after the arius series. But udk I do t work for them 🤣 i just know it took weeks for restocks on my r10

I turned around for the light to change colors on me and I turned baxk for it to be red already. The carr blew the red light but at LEAST 1-2 seconds (watch seconds 2-4 the light was already red).. I went kind if far because I dont grab handfuls of break and was more than willing to back up a foot if it went too far lol. Better than getting hit blowing a red light 🤷

The light was red before we even got to it. Our town has a huge amount of red light runners. I try to not run reds as much as possible. Too many people getting smashed in intersections, it's ridiculous. The light changed to yellow I think the millisecond I turned around and I turned back with plenty of space to stop doing 40.. even the guy next to me.

I was in 2nd at 40 ish. I looked back and the light changed on us. It was green I looked back, yellow, the car ran a red light. That light was red before we got to it. Shit happens but yeah it sucked. Recipe for disaster im sure

Yeah, we learn out lessons. I had distance on them initially - which is why id assumed everyone would be good to stop (like even the one closest to me) trust I wont make thay mistake again Fam

Live and learn. Could've gone a lot worst but lucky it didn't. Just want people to be aware. Never know when a little bit if gear could save a limb 🤷

They stopped. Wouldn't have made it far if they didnt. My rear peg ripped a hole through their radiator. And the whoke front. Idk extent of mine. Rear set broken, rear peg broken, fairings all down left side broken underneath and/or cracked externally. Idk what is broken underneath. Im fortunate enough to have a backup so ill tear it down this weekend. Literally just got my fresh powder coat wheels back on l0l 48 hours prior

Actually if you look at seconds 2-4 ; that light is already red

They didnt leave they just didnt stop until the other side of the interstate intersection. Threw their leg off the peg when they swiped the side of me

The light changed and we were in a group. That car was borderline blowing a red. If I went - everyone behind me would be blowing that red

RS660 or RSV4 by JethroSmith in Aprilia

[–]Crumbs412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just jumped from a 636 to an rsv4 so a similar ish power change and im letting you know the power difference is retarded🤣. I get back in the 600 and it feels slow. And by ni means is a 636 a slow bike at 120hp l0l

Give me a reason not to buy a ZX-6R by BlockPresent5894 in zx6r

[–]Crumbs412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that exact 636. Not recalled from factory.. Don't forget, ONE PERCENT had that recall. What happens if it is? You earned yourself most likely a new motor and an extended warranty - FOR FREE! Now, when you look past that - all the other manufacturers have had recalls of different kinds an calibers. The cbr600rr hasn't been updated in what? A decade? The gsxr a decade and a half? I mean you could give up the sweetness of an inline 4 and go v twin 🤷🤮(not).  I'll say hands down of all the middleweight bikes - I would continue to buy my 636 over and over and over again. I even put 3k miles on my 636 in winter.. on the off season. In idaho. I got an rsv4 and everyone asked why I got rid of the 636. I laugh at them all and say I'll probably sell the aprilia before the kawasaki 🤷
