The male and female pins that go in those plastic blocks are available from the maker of your bike or in many instances even the auto parts store . I think even Radio Shack has some though they might not fit your blocks .
There are tools used to remove them from the blocks , like a small hollow tube that compresses the barb that holds it in .
Then you use a tiny crimp tool to put new ends on the wire , slide it back in the block and it locks in place .

Heat shrink is readily available so replace you chopped up wires , put new end on , slide heat shrink over them and plug them into the blocks and you have you new , custom wiring .

Below are the type I use on my bike .If you click the picture it will enlarge so you can get a better look at them

BTW , when I was younger I did all that cutting an butt splicing too but I have grown very anal about the bikes as I have matured

You can't get just a motorcycle license in California, it's an 'endorsement' on your regular car license, so you have to get that first. If you're under 18 they throw a lot of roadblocks in your way--mandatory training, hours behind the wheel, all that stuff.

Then you get a learner's permit for a motorcycle and you ride around for 6 months to learn to ride. Then you take both a written test and a riding test to get your license. (And there's a test for the learner's permit also but it's pretty simple.)

The riding test for California is pretty hard. It's on YouTube so you can see it. I've been riding for decades and I'm not sure I could pass it the first time.

A good place to start is the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation). They do a 'beginner course' that is a weekend, partly in the classroom partly riding a motorcycle in a parking lot. They supply the bike, in fact for many people it's their first time on a bike.

The MSF course doesn't train you to ride, it just shows you some important safety habits to keep you safe while you learn on your own (and that is the only way!)

The MSF course is a good idea for two reasons. 1. Learning to ride a motorcycle is about twice as dangerous as actually just riding one, so safety training is an excellent idea, and 2. If you pass the MSF course the state waives the riding test for the license!

It's not hard to ride a motorcycle. What's hard about it is developing awareness of everything going on around you, always being alert and aware, making the right habits. If you've never ridden a bicycle I'd start on one of those, at least to learn to steer and balance.

Hot sportbikes like the R6 are designed to emphasize speed and handling above all other considerations. Part of this is the 'crouch', the extreme riding position. It puts stress on your wrists and lower back. It doesn't bother the young guys so much,but older guys like me, if we're going to ride an R6 more than 20 min. or so, it better be to the chiropractor's office. 8^)

But also it's something you get used to. If you had an R6 and rode it 2-3 times a week you'd quickly get so it didn't bother you so much. Any motorcycle feels 'strange' for a few days. The R6 will never be really comfortable for a long ride, it's just not made for that.

Also yes the levers can be adjusted for different sized hands.

The Ninja 650 looks like a sport bike, and it's pretty sporty, but it's a standard, a general purpose bike. The R6 is a specialized bike for one purpose. Now you know the difference! 8^)

Advantages:
Full time, an economical motorcycle instead of a car, is about half the cost of a car.
If you ride *because* it is cheap, it is also safer than a car.

However, you are asking about something "sleek and masculine" an expensive sporty motorcycle. In that case, the above advantages are gone. It is more expensive than a car, and many times more dangerous than a car. About the only "advantage" of a sporty bike is *fun*, and ignore the risks.
