Welcome aboard. Just treat her with respect and you'll soon start grinning. It's essential you take your cheque book as you'll want to buy it once ridden.
Welcome. I also joined here before buying my R3 and did plenty of research. I second the comments about the possibilities of an '06 jumping out of second gear. I would test this before buying and/or ask for proof that the update kit was installed. BTW I bought an '05. It did not have the update kit installed when I bought it and does not have a problem jumping out of 2nd gear, at least not yet.
No worries Mick , I do the Pie in the Sky Berowra coffee run at least once weekly mostly mid week with my riding buddy on his Honda FB6 ,when you get mobile drop me a PM cheers
