  1. I am curious about the school's newest training device - the Control Trainer. Pretty cool. What levels will utilize this device and will it be at VIR on May 18 & 19? Also, looking in the online store for stickers/patches/hooded sweatshirts and I don't see any of those items. I would think those would sell very well, hope you guys will consider adding to your product line, but glad you are more focused on the instruction which is the real reason we are all here. I will just have to take home one of your ZX-6's as a momento :-)
  2. Scott, Good question, and we do get it fairly often. The short version is it normally it takes a few sessions to get used to the bikes, then they are not worried about it (often only 1-2). They work so well, are so neutral, that many find out what a bike should handle like, and you can take that back to compare to yours. You do spin them higher than a twin, and it can come on more at the top, but they are very ride-able, and it won't be overpowering. Let us know what you think after you ride 'em! Best, Cobie Thanks Cobie, for both the "official welcome" and your prompt assurance as to my concern. I am really looking forward levels 1&2 in May at VIR, and excited to do it on the ZX6! Furthermore, I've read all Keith's books several times over, and I'll keep re-reading them right up until my school date so I should be pretty familiar with everything - so then maybe I can afford to spend some of my $10 on adjusting to a different bike :-)
  3. Question: I am signing up for classes in next May and riding the school bike, with about two years experience riding a 695CC Ducati v-twin; I am concerned about adjusting to the ZX6, specifically the higher RPMs and certainly much more horsepower than I am used to. Is that something to worry about? Will I be distracted learning to ride something that may feel very different from what I am used to? I am used to the power delivery at lower RPMs with the Ducati vs a Japanese inline four. I am sure I am not the first to have such a conern? I am actually looking forward to riding the ZX6 actually, and riding my bike is not an option, so big deal or not to worry?Thanks!Scott
