They make a 650 now? Or is that suppose to be 600 or 750? Or a 600 with a 750 motor?

 

i have the same exact bike, down to the color. do a lot of people have the silver/ white where you are, cuz im the only one around here. i love it. break her in and rip on it!

 

yeah same here. im the only one ive seen roling around in this color. my brother bought the exact same bike 2 weeks ago expect he got red/black.

i was looking at the usual blue/white combo cuz i liked the blue powdercoated wheels, then i saw this silver/white sitting in the crate and said i had to have it.

 

My b/f just got his 06 Gixxer a few months back. He got the darker grey/black. If he got the red/black it's a 750, the 600's don't come in that color scheme. Have a good time breaking it in. You might have issues with the FI light coming on and might stall on you.

Thinking of getting the 750 myself. Love the new design of the 06's

 

I think the one he got is the 750cc but the one that i was referring to is the 600 not 650

 

sick bike

 

man i am so jealous, i have really wanted a bike for sooo damn long but you know the safety rep of them doesnt float too well with strict parents.

 

congrats!! be safe..
i really like the color.. all these bike pics make me wanna get one..



*off topic* what kind of convertible is next to ur bike?

 

congrats on the new bike. first mod- lose the rear render.

 

I have always loved bikes but I am just too afraid of riding them. Im not afraid of me riding it, Im more afraid of worrying about others hitting me.

Btw, that is a really nice bike. Be safe and dont do stupid sh*t on it.

 

about the color schemes. the red/black colors come on the 2006 600 and 1000. the 750 comes in a maroon and black.

 

Sweet bike, and I love the redesign. I had a 04 black/yellow gsxr 750 w/ a carbon fiber Micron exhaust, and chipped. That thing screamed, but then it was totalled when someone made a left turn in front of me. Now i have a 05 yamaha warrior 1680cc.

 

nice...

Nice ride, but just remember that the streets are far more dangerous than the freeways. It seems that you have perceived it to be the other way around. I lost a good friend who was struck on a residential street while going 35mph. Stop signs, red lights, blind spots, left turns, u-turns, center lanes, are all potential hazards among many other things.

I will admit that there is nothing like riding and the feeling of being free & "suspended." However, you always have to factor in the risk and think heavily before purchasing a bike. Before you assume the risk for yourself, you have to think about other's feelings as well and put them into consideration; in particular, your family and friends. My CBR was stolen about a year ago but I feel that it was all meant to be. As much as I love riding, I will not be getting another bike.

Always ride safe and wear your gear! Me and my friends motto concerning gear: "We'd rather sweat then BLEED."

Words to the wise

 

BTW, I too said I would not take my first (and told myself ONLY) "50cc Aprilia on any freeway or major street." Well a month later, I needed more power and stepped up and bought a 600. Just two weeks after ownership, I was practicing wheelies. Two weeks after that, I found myself cruising the freeway to my girl's house.

It's sort of like smokers who say they only smoke one a day.... yeah... right. Everyone thinks it will never happen to them. Just remember, no matter how good of a rider you are or how well you react to sudden incidents, you can't control the actions of other drivers. People say it will never happen to them (falling), but when it hits close to him (or home itself), you wish you could just take it all back. Sometimes, you don't get a second chance. As sad as it seems, it is reality.

I'm not trying to scare you about riding. Sorry if I'm coming off that way. However, I think the purchase of a motorcycle should be a big decision. It's not something you should jump into so quickly.

You may disregard whatever I said if you feel you want to. But please do take what I've said into consideration.

Thanks
