What's up everyone I'm Mike. Glad to be here. I come from racing motocross on a high level, broke my back, and decided to make the switch to street when the doctor told me I could paralyze myself with all the big jumps I was having to do in the A class. Ended up starting out on a 2011 R6 (yes I know everyone says that's a horrible idea but it worked out perfectly for me as I was used to constantly being on the gas, not to mention that at least back in the 90s the Yamaha two strokes were known for having all their power in the top end just like the R6). That bike was stolen while I was living in the hood and insurance paid for a 2012. Ended up having to sell that for reasons I'd rather not talk about but I can't take it any longer. I need to be back on two wheels. I've watched countless hours of reviews, videos, etc. And I've decided to go with an R7 since buying a used R6 just doesn't seem feasible. It seems like people are charging almost MSRP for a new bike, for their used one... This bike looks like it will be perfect for me so I can't wait. The problem is it's so hard to find one at a dealership right now (I'm in Central Florida and nobody in my area can give me an accurate time frame of when they're getting one in). So I'm open to any suggestions as far as where to look. I was also part of the R6 forums back in the day. Thanks and I'm glad to be here.
