New toy
 

I have been kicking it around for sometime now, and decided to buy a bike.
2003 GSX-R 600 with a little over 6 thousand miles on it.
paid $3500

VERY NICE!!! Thats my next bike if I stick with motorcycles.

Re: New toy
 

Gratz!! That is a killer price even if it has a few blems.

Dennis Kirk sucks for tire prices, but they price match. You have to pay tax too. Chaparral and Competition Accessories have some good prices. They usually have ads in all the magazines. We'll have to get a ride going. We talked about it a while back, but it didn't happen yet. If you need some riding help, I can help ya.

Sweet bike, and yeah thats a hell of a deal.

Re: New toy
 

jesus dude! I am uber jealous now! I was talking about getting a bike for years, as many people have them. The only thing holding me back is the rents. I need to move out soon anyway, but hopefully next spring I can ride around with a bike. We shall see. Gas alone to and from work would totally own!

Color me jealous!

I've been wanting a sport bike, but I'd need to sell my current bike to pay for one, which isn't going to happen. Need a back-up for when the DSM breaks!

That is a great price on the bike. Where did you find it? I been looking 2002+ GSXR 600 but everyone is asking around 5k+ for one.

Re: New toy
 

Thats how much I bought my 2000 GSXR 600 for. And it has a few scratches.

Re: New toy
 

Very nice!

Re: New toy
 

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.

Re: New toy
 

craig im still thinknig about gettin yours next year, but we'll see.

Brian, fuckin nice nignog!

Re: New toy
 

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.

Re: New toy
 

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.

Re: New toy
 

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!!

Re: New toy
 

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.

Re: New toy
 

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

Re: New toy
 

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.

Re: New toy
 

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.

Re: New toy
 

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.
