I want to get a motorcycle for price range of 3 - 6k

[Envious]

TL1000R is what I was thinking of earlier.

Either way, prepare yourself for a wreck. Cause they happen. My buddy hit the base of a road construction barrel about a month back (ring had gotten in the middle of the lane of a highway) and he is going to have scars from his knee to shoulder from the slide. And that was only at 55mph and in decent gear.

Another guy got hit by a truck around the same time, he had stuck the nose of his bike too far out trying to see around a cage when making a right turn... truck clipped his bike in the front 1/3, and killed him.

Shit happens.
