    Damn I had my eye on this. Would've matched perfectly with my cars colour scheme too.

    Question: I'm a noob with bikes and I was wondering if I could even ride an r6 when I am only 5'8"

    Yea I wouldn't recommend it. There's nothing stopping you from being able to ride it, but you will be on your tippy toes when you have both feet down. Even though you should only put one foot down when coming to stops if this is your first bike being able to put both feet down easily just gives you the extra level of comfort in panic situations. CBR's are low and I think gixxers too.

    ya its a tall ass bike. if you want an R6, go for an R6s or a pre 2006, theyre quite a bit lower. ive even stiffened the coil and brought it down a bit and its still tall.

    You should have no problem with it. Trying to use the kick stand can be tricky.
