New toy

[unreal808]

I would ask everyone if they had a bike for sale just in general conversation. You know if you don’t ask you will never know. I finally asked the right person about 3 days ago, it was one of those deals “My friend has one for sale“, it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Yesterday I got some disturbing news at work and from my family, no big deal or anything , but picking up a GSXXR makes the day go better.

Whoa. Nice price on that. You're gonna have fun riding that around :D. I'm thinking about getting a new bike next year also, we'll see though. The bike I have right now is kinda like a beater bike, so I can learn some small tricks on there and get more comfy and then switch over to a better bike :D.

Very nice... I want a bike but truth be told, I am a bit scared of them. I was next to one on the highway once and I realized on person not paying attention could end my life. Maybe next summer or the summer after I will get one.

A friend of mine just picked up a brand new gsxr 1000 and has done some mods such as different exaust and carbond fibered almost everything you can, and a new tire that is black and burns blue on the way!!

If that is the thought in your head than I agree you should not ride or drive fast. There is more dangerous things I have encounter on the bike. Like sand in the road, debris, critters, dam joint bumps, and my favorite pot holes. The honest truth riding a bike is not for everyone. I just love the way it handles and the rush of the throttle. I will take a bike over a car any day of the week. Matter of fact this whole summer I have only taken my car to work once the rest was on the bike. I racked up so far 5k miles on the bike.

That is an insane deal. Enjoy the bike, gixxers are wonderful machines :)

Agreed. If you're scared of it, I think you'll be more likely to wipe out on it when your under pressure because of the "scared" thought. Thats how I see it :D. And the rush of the throttle is pretty addicting and I only have a 600, lol.

Yeah, 600's are fun the first few years of being on a rocket. 750's are a blast and 1k's are overkill. I am all about overkill though :D Honestly my next bike will probably be a 750. The 1k is just too insane to have much fun on. You can't press it hard enough to really start having fun without being at 150+. First gear does over 100 mph. I have only had this one to 175 mph indicated. I need to get a nice stretch of road somewhere.

Nice buy! I will hopefully be joining the rocket family next year, and yes I am sticking with a 600, hopefully a fuel injected r6.
