:welcome: dimachka :twfrox:

must DO's

1. Take MSF Course (This is the BEST money you will ever spend on motorcycling)
2. Buy helmet, jacket and gloves (and any other gear you can think of)
3. Never ride outside your capabilities
4. Practice the fundamentals (youll learn this in MSF if not already taken)
5. Have fun!

This is a great informational fourm with a buch of great members. An 05 zx6r is a beautiful bike. Be careful, it is more powerful than most think. IF you respect the bike, then you should be okay. What are your measurements? I am 6' 3" and 180 and I ride an 01 zx6r. I have no problem getting on or off the bike and my feet touch the ground flat. As long as your feet touch the ground comfortably, then you dont need to adjust the ride height. Keep the rubber side down! :dthumb: :cheers:
