Decisions Decisions!!! OY!!!!
Well, I'm still pondering the decision that I have to make on whether or not to trade up to a zx11 or not. I thought that I had pretty much decided that I would go through with the deal, but after riding my bike to work and talking it over with my boss and the friend that has the zx11 he doesn't want. About 90 percent of the decision was made before the ride into work, but after talking it over I'm around 50 percent sure....maybe a little less.
Herein lies the problem.....I've owned my zx6 since it was new and I've covered many a back road with it in the years that I've owned it. I tend to get attached to vehicles over time and I'm having a little bit of trouble letting go of what I have with the zx6. I'm not the typical sport bike jockey in that I don't get that aggressive on the street and usually set my turn entry speed up nice and early and focus instead on being smooth as possible. The zx6 is a very good bike for the 70 percent skill level that I ride at for the most part, but I don't get that scared feeling in the pit of my gut when accelerating that I got out of a zx11 in the past. I can't really describe the feeling to someone who hasn't ridden a bike, but it's an exhilarating feeling controlling something that isn't easily contained. On a twisty enough road me riding my zx6 would ride away from me riding on a zx11.
I keep thinking that I could get a new set of sticky tires and a 1 down 2 up sprocket set to get a little more torque at the wheel to make if feel racier(Kinda like putting a band aid on a gaping chest wound, but oh well). Like I said above I'm having a hard time letting go of my trusty zx6.
Talk at ya later!
