I'm almost positive I'm going to go with the R6, but if I don't end up liking it, you can always flip it for something else. I don't like the way Kawasaki's ride, or else I would get a Ninja zx-6 or zx-7. The first bike I rode was actually one of the little Ninja 250r's, it was fun for a little while, but just felt awkward on me.
