Well, I figure with gas so high and the fact that they have such a great power to weight ratio: As long as it has a good six speed it will still be fun, and saving some gas is always a bonus!

So here's a pic of my new ride.

Its a used 04, still under waranty. Its a total blast. Burnout

....Sweet.

That looks soo cool.... What are the specs on it (I am unfamiliar with Yahama). Couldnt wait any longer for a Gixxer?

BTW, how much did that burn out of your wallet (if you dont mind me asking)

considering all 5 600cc sportbikes were withing a couple 10ths at the track, and all solidly in the 10's, any specs would come down entirly to the rider. But knowing jess, he will know everyone of them for you. Wink

You should see me cruising around with 600cc's under my legs within 5 or 6 months. Very Happy

only 600cc's ?
I got 1200 between my legs
Very Happy

just kidding, im a big guy & with a g/f that likes to ride too, 600 would be a slug

not it if its the 16k rpm sport bike type. Wink

now a 600cc harley, would be a slug.

BTW, i should have 750 between my legs this weekend.

looks good Jess, I have never been a huge fan of only having two wheels on the road though, less margin for error.

I can see the attraction though

Expect to get lots of tickets. Expect for cars not to see you. And always expect the unexpected.

Flashback 1985:

A drunk 4 times legal limit rear ended me in my Nighthawk 700 at 60mph, I was slowing to a stop sign. without any gross details Im lucky to be alive plus still having my left leg. (Tip..always know who is behind you as well as in front)

PS: Expect to be the chick magnet :p
