Oh yeah, it was powerful and super quick...Ive been ridin dirtbikes and all most of my life, and then I start playin with streetbikes around 17 or so...but it was bad..my friend races bikes at the track, he ran a 9.96 on it with the exhaust an PC....we lowered it, other than that.. it was QUICK...and Im really upset with myself for selling it to an in-expierenced rider...

that squidly squid was a moron for buying it. no offense to you or your ex-bike.

I like my couch. Rides well, looks good and I don't require $4,000 worth of accesories to feel "cool".

 

[Pete]

As a matter of fact I like it so much I am going down in the parking lot and sit on it and make engine noises.

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Drop that sucker and you are looking at a huge bill.

LeatherLyke saddle bags $400, Kurykan pegs aqbout $200, windshield $200, tank graphics $50, Cobra slip-ons $250 and the super cool levers with little skulls instead of balls on the ends were about $30.
:shrug: I'm under a grand (or close to it )

But I started out at half of what yours cost.

$1230 and you still regret having half the bike

Go buy the Harley

I just got my motorcycle on Monday! It's a blue 2002 Yamaha YZF600R. I only have my learners and I haven't ridden it yet, but I plan to on Friday after I get the tags (weather permitting).

I've been trying to get into one of the safety classes, but being that it's the end of the season, they are all booked and I'm on the waiting list for the Spring (March maybe).

Forum ride in the Spring?

Go through Maryland MVA and take the course in Waldorf or Annapolis in the Spring. Register through College of Southern Maryland. It gets you your license in a 3 day course and also satisfies the Pax Base Safety Course Requirement.

So far for me:
Fieldsheer Eiffel Tank Bag - $70
Loobman chain oiler - $36
Front and rear stands - $125
Xena XES12 Disk Lock/Alarm - $40

My wish list totals ~$650, so if I get everything I want...<$1k (half of which is an exhaust and jet kit that I'm not getting for at least a year)

With the bike, that's still probably less than 1/3 the price of a Harley.

 

[ylexot]

Oh yeah, and the bad thing about riding on base...the base person wouldn't give me a temp tag because I haven't taken the course that I can't get into. Well, she said she could give me one until Nov...

Before you buy a bunch of stuff, ride it for a while. It would suck if you really got into it, and ended up buying a GSXPQTDFRZZDHRZCCTR 5FRT after you spend moola on this bike.

If you want to go for some riding and need a rider with a lic. let me know, I will take you.

Easy no kilroy..I had one of those GSXRFSDJHFDASHF FTS crotch rockets.. theres nothing wrong with them...its all in the taste you like...Im 21, I beleave there are age limits to what bike you should be on

Its all good...I made money off of it...but I did lose a SWEET gixxer... Im lookin at the 06 1000 now...not sure if I want it or not yet...I think I might wait a year or 2 till they get the weight ratio right so when ya crank into it, the front wheel dont try pullin up to a 90 degree angle..haha

I'm getting tired of the riding limitations inherent with the "cruiser" class. My round pegs are getting mighty flat on the bottom
The "adventure touring" bikes like the GS and V-Strom are looking good. Ergonimics somewhere in between racer boy kill my knees and back and cruiser barco-lounger.

Are you sure? I think you just want one of those bikes because it has more plastic covers for those rainbow decals.
