My ZX-6E is 487 lbs wet (429 lbs dry weight). I am 5'3" and 110 lbs (sometimes I am up at 115 lbs). I can u-turn my E. I just had to practice until I felt more comfy with it. Getting a different bike or anything else isn't going to really help. A u-turn is a u-turn is a u-turn and until you get it down by practicing it....then you won't ever be able to safely do it.

Don't get me wrong, u-turns are not my favorite thing to do. If you practice, you will be fine.

Right on Abi :nod2:

The fact of the matter is, it won't matter what bike you're riding. The key is practicing, period.

Unless you're bench pressing it, a lighter bike isn't going to make that much of a difference.

Ralph, watch out for people running into you AGAIN at VIR this weekend :omg:
