94 Octane Members :: Kovz Quick Info

Hi everybody, I'm Kovz, and like everyone else here, I have a problem. I admit, I'm addicted to motorcycles, and have been since around the age of 12. A few friends bought dirtbikes, and thats how I learned to ride. Ever since then I always had an itch to be on 2 wheels. A few years went by and I didnt ride anything at all, I turned 19 and had a new job, and then got a crazy idea of buying a sportbike. A few weeks after that idea was thought of, I had a nice shiny 2000 Yamaha R6 sitting in my garage, with my parents flipping out because they thought I was joking when I told them!

A year and a half went by great, then the first accident happened, I decided to fix it up and sell it. So I did, and put that money towards a 2003 Dakota R/T. After a few months I realized selling the bike was a big mistake, so I bought another one! It just happened to be another 2000 Yamaha R6! I picked up that bike and the guy I sold my first R6 to told me to get my ass to the track. I have him to thank for getting my ass out there. After 1 day at the track I was hooked, and because of that, it has turned out to be one of the most expensive hobbies I could think of. The things we do for an adrenaline rush!

Why Yamaha?
You ask why? I ask WHY NOT?
The Yamaha YZF-R6 is noted as one of the best "out of the box" race bikes. I love this bike, well it is my second R6, and it suits me well and I wouldn't ride anything else. With its sleek styling, decent stock suspension, 370 pounds with a nice tight 54" wheelbase for quick turn in, a nice tight riding position, a 15,500rpm redline, big 298mm front rotors to stop you on a dime, and endless spare parts available at the track, you can't go wrong! Its a great bike in its stock form, but why in the hell would anyone want to keep their bike stock? Let the modifications begin!
