You should be able to touch the ground with flat feet on a lot of bikes; I know someone 5'-2" who can do that on her 700 Virago and my VF500F Interceptor. I think that the Rebels do have the problem of a very large turn radius, can anyone verify this? MSF running out of Mountain View-Los Altos has mostly Honda CB125s, along with a couple of 250 Rebels and 450 Nighthawks, and a few 250 Yamahas. I believe other MSF branches are similarly equipped. If you are definitely planning to continue motorcycle riding, I would suggest buying a helmet and riding gloves before you attend MSF. BTW, does anyone think the Arai Supervent has excessive padding in the cheeks? I always noticed the pressure before, but after wearing it for five hours on Sunday, it became painful. The FZ600 is basically an FZ400 with a slightly hopped up FJ600 engine stuffed in it. Considering how the FJ600 romped all over ZX600R Ninjas in box-stock racing, the FZ600 should continue Yamaha's dominance. 'Course, off the track, its seat is a brick. I don't understand why the Ninja isn't competitive, on paper it looks superior to me. All I wanted was a Pepsi! Jonathan Hue And she wouldn't get it for me! Via Video Inc.
