You know, Kaan loves(ed) his FZR, and I guess they're a decent starter bike but they do have a weird problem that happens with *some* clutches, their tire sizes are funky, but otherwise I guess it's ok. Price is right.

finding rear tires are a pain. and the clutch problem can be avoided by using the clutch as little as possible just dont pull in the clutch when you are slowing down until you "need" it. high revs + pulling in the clutch = 3 pieces welding themselves together.
