Another new toy for me.
Well I've been waiting one since I was younger and I was planning in the spring to buy a sportsbike. So there has been a R6 that was local and it was for sale. The last 3 weeks I've been drowling over it
 . So last sunday I called the guy to check it out and talk to him about it and of course a test ride. Wow, thing is so sweet, handles real well and not to mention fast. So today (tuesday) I went over there on my lunch break for work and got it. Any of you ride sportsbikes on here? Here's couple photos of my new love. Sorry I don't have a pic with me on it, my camera took a dumb on me and my batteries went dead. So maybe tomorrow I'll have some with me or what not. Hope you enjoy

Has some ground effects on it which is pretty cool I thought. 2 neons on the front forks and 2 in back.

Of course. I don't think I would ride it without one unless I was in the yard moving it from our shed to the drive. I'll be safe on it. Guess my grandma isn't too pleased with me buying it
 . That's why I don't tell her what I buy, just like the dirtbike I had. She finally found out about that. Ahhh well, she's just trying to look out for me I guess. Thanks, I know my buddy's that seen it, like it. We're all going to have them in the spring time to ride which will be nice. Thanks again.

Guess I'll have to put some paddle tires on it eh?
. I'll have to see if we're still going up to silver lake or what not. I haven't heard anything yet. I still need to get a new clutch perch and a clutch for my bike...

Yes it's a 600cc, I feel really confortable on this bike. A lot of people on the sportbike forums tell you to start off something like a 250 or 500cc. I think it's kinda pointless though IMO. If you're not dumb or do crazy stuff on a 600cc and warm up to see what's confortable, you should be fine. I'm 19, almost 20 and I'm around 185. I'm not too sure what would be a good tire for someone starting off. I'm running some Dunops on mine. My front is a Dunlop D208F Sportmax 120/60 and my back is a D207J sportmax 180/55. You'll get more information at www.r6messagenet.com Just search and you'll find all the information. Hope that kinda helped

Hey 'Sniper, That is a cool ride, when you said you wanted one since you were young, I thought you were old like me. I bought a 900 Kawi when I was 19, because it was the fastest production bike built in '75. Your 600 would toast it easy I think. Elk hunting in 98 near Ouray CO I met a guy about 70 who took a Katana across Engineer Pass, it had some rock damage. He was going to paint the date and elavation on it, about 12000 I think, and the road is not anything more than a jeep trail.
