Definitely. They also probably sell 20:1 nationwide.

hell, i'm sure it'd power wheelie just fine too. run it up to about 7-8k rpm in first, chop the throttle and then smack it open again. it'll come up.

There are lots of new guys riding them and posting that they're having problems pulling them up on gixxer.com. It's nearly a daily occurance that a noob makes a thread about having problems with them (k6/k7 600/750) coming up.

And yes, your on-off-on technique works great for bringing them up.

Which is why I can say *puke* It seems that is all people ride. The comment was meant to be more for comedy then serious. So do not take it as an actual attack. You know 500's are the shit anyways, you wish you could handle a 500...all...42-50 horses of power. :P
