Use to ride an 07 GSXR 600 - had a buddy with the blue ZX6R that i rode with (who has crashed twice and went to the hospital the first time; i pulled up on the accident a few minutes after it happened).

Word of advice for that bike, get a fender eliminator immediately, it looks atrocious. Also, get an exhaust ASAP. I suggest the two brothers pipe.

I don't know if you've ever rode before but if you haven't, always ride defensively and keep your eyes moving 1000% of the time. These things are fun as hell but the ride can be over instantaneously if you fuck up. Also, always wave to other riders, don't be the asshole who doesn't.

Be safe out there and enjoy!

Nice, have fun, be safe, and don't be a douchebag on it.
I personally prefer cruisers and started out with a rebel, but have had it for a few years and while I think it is the best bike for its purpose (tooling around town, not having to worry about gas), I need a bigger bike.
I don't need anything more than a 750 or 900 (I still like the gas mileage), but it has more to do with room on the bike than power for me.

Anyway, a cycle is a cycle, and I wish you good riding.

It is used but practically new. It was owned by a Marine he barely rode it as he was deployed a couple times. He's home now wife is prego and she says it must go. 3225 actual miles for a 2007. I have had 8 bikes in my life but this 600 is by far the fastest I've owned. Ive owned an older 750 Katana that could not touch this thing, also a CBR 600. Fender eliminator and slip on are in the works. I walked in and got approved with zero down(surprised) so it was a done deal.

I bought a 2005 GSX 750 brand new. I may have put 4k miles on it. It's been sitting for 3 years. Damn do I waste money.

You want to sell your GSXR? If the price is right I may be intersted. My roommate wants my bike.

Im going to put a Monster Racing Decal kit on it next week.

I had a 05 gsxr 600 that I sold last year, loved it though. This year I bought a 750 gsxr that I ended up just selling to make a quick 2k profit without riding it lol now that the oregon weather is starting to come around for a few months I'm in the market for another since I have to wait a little bit to ride my quad again thanks to my wrist being fucked lol.. probably a ducati this time around if I find a decent deal.. nice ninja!

I just bought a bike too.

Mine is slightly slower than yours, but gets better gas mileage.

Should be in the mail here tomorrow. I'll have better pics then. :ihit


Sweet ride though man, hope you got a good deal on it. Bet it flies and handles well too.

the only problem for you that I see is a few months down the line you will be wishing you had got the 1000 instead of a 600.

Nice bike buddy.
Just be safe hence you become part of the pavement.
I personally don't like cycles. Too many douchebag drivers on the road and stats indicate that you will, at some point, have a accident.

Be careful out there.

This 600 will be fine for me. It's got plenty of power for me, Im not the wreckless fucktard I once was when I was younger. I am entering the Harley phase of my life at 35. My next bike very well may be a Harley.

Slomo I was thinking of the two brothers exhaust, how much are the slide ons from that company you linked to in USD?

Im not the wreckless fucktard I once was when I was younger.

The main reason I don't own a motorcycle right now isn't due to my driving, it's due to the 60 year old near sighted Asian lady in the right lane who decides that she needs to do a u-turn across 4 lanes of traffic with no advance warning.

My father is an amazing driver (former semi-pro stock car racer, so he has amazing instincts and reaction time for bad situations), and had to lay down his Goldwing in the middle of a huge street one day because the semi in the left lane suddenly wanted a cheeseburger and pulled right across him. He said he still doesn't know how the bike missed the rig's back wheels. People scare the hell out of me when they're driving.

Ive had several close calls in my day but never layed the bike down. Couple of rear tire blowouts at 75+ that scared the shit out of me, couple of skids in wet road conditions but I never went down. Im aware that any any given time it could be the end of me. I try to be as safe as possible and hope for the best.

thanks...if you dont me asking, how much did the dealership charge for the ninja? and are you new to the bike scene?

Heath Ledger

Im not new to the bike scened I've had 8 but by far this is my newest bike ive ever owned and fastest.

Ive owned 2 different CB 750's (both 1981)
Older Kawasaki 500
Yamaha 450
Yamaha 1100 Midnight Special
1991 Katana 750
1996 CBR 600

but none of these could hold a candle to how fast this mother is. It's been 4 years since I last rode I have to learn how to ride in the twisites but from what I've gathered this bike is meant for that kind of handling.

I paid $6499 plus $500 for the 2 yr warranty.
3200 miles
2007
