SCH-ZX6r · 05-05-2009, 08:42 AM

Hey my name is Chris, im from north alabama. Im a die hard Auburn University Fan, War Eagle! I bought my first bike spring of 08. I bought an 08 Ninja 250R. By mid summer i was very bored with this bike so by the end of the summer i had a 08 vivid yellow ZX6R sitting at the house. I held on to the 250R for a little while cuz my GF liked to ride it. But like me she got tired of it. So i sold the little 250R. She wants a ZX6R now

... But anyways i drove my ZX every day just about then one nice day in november my cousin wanted to drive it down the road about a mile or two and yep... he layed it down in a curve. He was only going about 20 or 25 mph. It did very minor damage to the left side. But i went ahead a tore the bike apart and had it wrapped in a custom vinyl design. This is how my ZX6R looks now........
these aren't the best pics but i'll try to get some more during the day.

Jay here in north FL. I picked up a 2005 ZX6R 636 in plasma blue not too long ago. Has 5k miles on it now. The bike hasn't gone trough any major changes as of now, just took off the rear turn signals (will be swapping to integrated tail light) flush mount front turn signals, and removed all stickers except for "Ninja". my only other plan for now is HID headlights. I have mixed feelings about the Laser X-Treme exhaust, it's different but maybe a little ricey.

Hi.
Ross here from the UK living in SC. Bought a black 06 zx14 and just spent a bit of cash for it.. New D&D slipon exhausts for a bit of a deep rumble, red brake caliper paint, euro smoked indicators and tail light, lowering kit, short kickstand, double bubble iridium screen, hotbodies undertail with license plate holder.. Going for the mainly all black look with a bit of red.. also bought the black seat cowl... Probably wont do anything more then that tbh.

SCR Jeff · 05-12-2009, 03:06 AM

Hello all, I am Jeff and I am from Sacramento. I have a ZX9-R and I love to ride when ever I can. I have some of the best roads just 30 min away from me. I have been riding for about 9 years now and my bike is currently being rebuilt, well the motor is being rebuilt, again. I am also a member of sacramentocrotchrockets.com (SCR) so if you are in the sac area or not so much check us out if you are going to be on any rides in the area or check for rides if you want to get out with a group

faithfulzrider · 05-18-2009, 06:39 PM

well im almost as new to riding as i am to this sight
i got my first bike last summer at the age of 28, it had around 3800 mi on it, now it has roughly 6k. ive got lots of hobbies, but i gotta say the cycle world may be the most addictive and adrenalin pumped! im still learning, but chicken strips are down to less than a half inch now, and with my new pilot powers may be gone soon.

Gizmo8530 · 05-18-2009, 11:12 PM

Krash7051 · 05-28-2009, 10:38 AM

Hey I just joined, my name is Eddie I have an 06 ZX6R that I bought wrecked and me and a buddy are bringing it back to life. Not too much further to go now just some wiring issues then time for paint. I've been cruising the forums and so far I like the site.

I'm on a gov computer I'm in the military so I can't post pictures of the bike just yet. This isn't my first bike I use to have a Honda VTR-1000F Superhawk with many goodies. This will however be my first I4, hopefully I won't miss that Vtwin torque.

Voodude · 05-28-2009, 11:04 AM

Hello, i'm Duke from Edmonds Wa.

I just purchased a new 09 zx6r Monster edition. So I thought that this would be the board to join :)

this is not my first bike nor is it my first sport bike; some of my bikes have included an '93 cbr600, and a cbr929rr with Nos, now i own the Ninja.
I've built many basket cases and custom built honda choppers and vintage Japanese cafe' styled bikes.

I'm mostly a fair weather sport rider, and other interests include tattoos, pinstriping, and old cars. I dig live music such as psychobilly, rockabilly, punk, oi, industrial, goth.....you get the idea.

I work fulll time as a mechanical design engineer for 4wd and race car parts, and have a strong background in electrical engineering and production fabrication.

Thank you ahead of time for welcoming me to your forum; I likely will have a lot of questions for you all but I hope that I can also answer some as well.

G'day from "Down Under",

Currently I "ride" a 600RR and am looking to upgrade to a '06 ZX10R.

Spat the 600RR down the road a couple of months ago and have been fixing her ever since. I can't wait to see the back of her and will be hopefully purchasing a Pearl Yellow ZX10R in the very near future.

Cheers,
Gilly

NinjaMO · 06-11-2009, 07:49 PM

Great forum. I am the original owner of a 94 ZX-7. Purchased in 93, I bought the bike to club race after honing my "skills" in Missouri and a couple of years in California on an EX-500.
My 7 was upgraded to production racing based specs - shock, pipe, jet kit, brakelines, the basics. I was more concerned about keeping it reliable over it being the fastest bike on the track and continously wrenching on it. Between race weekends I also street rode it, I'd slap the lights back on and that was basically it...sometimes not even that. Just ride with number plates...LOL.
Due to some biker friends on sport tourers that like long rides and my aging back, I have converted to a streetfighter. My friend suggested some risers for the clip-ons, so I ordered some and when installed, had the bars hitting the upper faring at the lowest setting. So, the only thing to do was scrap the uppers.

From there it was a project; New headlights, windscreen, longer brakelines, longer speedo cable, re-route wiring harness, re-route cables, custom gauge bracket, bar-end mirrors, new front turn signals, and other cosmetic touches. I still want to do something with the backend....
The Streetfighter look was never planned, but I needed a more comfortable ride. I like it, though the wife and daughter aren't used to it yet. With a few crashes on it's resume the bike isn't worth much, so I sure wasn't going to give it away for a $2K.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :-)

Bones636 · 06-17-2009, 09:46 AM
