i have not rode a bike for about 14 years now. i use to ride a 750 gsxr. now i want to go back riding motorcycles again. i am going to use the bike mainly for pleasure, riding on canyons and also for touring going to northern california driving on the 101 fwy and pacific coast hwy. this are nice places with a view to ride a bike. i live in los angeles. i finished my motorcycle safety training last september of 99 and i already got my motorcycle license. now i am ready to buy a bike. and i want your opinion on what bike should i get for this purpose. right now i am looking for the yzf r1 because of it's looks, that bike is beautiful. but a lot of people are discouraging me to get that bike 'cause they said it's got too much power that it wheelies with just a flick of the throtle and might just get into trouble. my next choice would be a yzfr6 which they say is more rider friendly on the canyons since you can lean and flick it easier than an r1 and they say it also turns in quicker. i just don't know how deeper it can turn compared to the r1. i need your info and help. thanks...
