Hit some familar twisties on the K6 yesterday.

[BentValve]

So I got it worked out.. in 6th gear I can get to 100mph and stay within my 6500 rpm break-in zone.  Yep I go by the book and work hard at varying speed.

100 mph is plenty for some familar roads I hit yesterday.   I still feel shaky on the K6 but its getting better...I am sure that after break-in (1000 miles) I will feel right @ home.
I kept getting into these corners I know @ 'Busa speeds' thinking 'hey, I can go faster'...the Gixxer just wanted it.
So on my first run over some twisities I have hit nearly 100 times if not more I rode faster then I have before.

Now I was not by any means pushing anything...I was just merely going with the flow of things.   God its nice not to have to slow down for a corner hardly at all.

Speaking of slowing down...
The brakes on this thing are just incredible...ive never experienced anything like it.

I hit a K-Mart back lot yesterday as well and did some testing ..umm damn.    A few times I grabbed a handful and had the back end come up a few inches.

Welp I gotta get to work...

Hey James, congrats on the new ride. You'll really enjoy that rascal and the more you ride it the more confidence you'll get. You just look at a corner and it dives in. Maybe we can hook up for a ride sometime? And if she's nice we can invite Scooter Chick along. I'm looking forward to picking up a new K6 next week. I haven't been on the board much lately so what color did you get?
