Wanna see what I just bought?

[CManT1914]

2003 Suzuki GSX-R600 with roughly 7k miles on it. Never been laid down (tipped over in driveway, but only 3 scratches), never raced, only mod is a slip on can. The thing is SWEET! The guy has a lein on it, so it might be a bit before I can pick it up, but that's okay since I still gotta take the MSF course (scheduled for this weekend, in the rain ).



I have more pics if yall want to see them.

When I bought my ZX7R It had a Lein on it as well. Just make sure that you have the paper signed by the company making sure its alright. And any Bike that you get and they tell you never raced lol Riiight. When your on a bike before you know it your doing 140 on the Express way lol But they are fun its like a different world when your riding one.. But watch out for people they dont see bikes much.. Many times I was run off the road

I love those.

This the bike I miss (Green94 5.0 on it). 2001 Aprilia RSV-60. The TQ was insane. For those who aren't familiar it's an Italian race bike. No high RPM shifts on this. It was stolen a week later after this pic was taken.

Yea I realize everybody says they never raced it. But this guy seems more legit than others I've talked to. He's got a Mustang GT that all he has done is a K&N, and he wants to buy a Harley, so he's not that into performance, lol.

I've been riding for a little while now, and have had my fair share of idiots not seeing me, lol. But this is my first sport bike. I'm actually scared to ride it for the first time. I keep hearing how the throttle and brakes are real touchy and it's easy for them to get away from you.

Joe, that's a nice Aprilla. Was it yours or Greens? That sucks it was stolen!

sonic, nice color on that. Was the gas tank and tail section different than the lower fairings? Is that what you were referring to?

If you look at the lower faring and the front faring you can see a different tone on it. Yea dont let em get away from ya.. My friend who bought my bike ended up laying it down like a week after and had to have the bike repainted again after I did all the work on the bike.
Just take it easy and you will get the hang of it and then it will just come to you

Nice bike Chris!
That thing is sharp.
I'm still weary about getting one may wait till this summer and ride a few before making any decisions.

Oh I see it now. The color on my computer is messed up, everything has a real yellow tint to it.

Nice bike Chris!

A word of advice, bikes go up in price during the summer! Some advice I was given when deciding between a R6, Ninja, Gixxer, and CBR, for 99% of riders, there will be no difference in the performance. So it's all what feels comfortable to you.

Congrats Chris. I know you have been waitin for the right deal for some time. You got enough toys yet?

Heck yes, I can't wait to ride it (even though I'm scared, lol). Not quite enough toys, lol. (I still need a boat )

lol, got a cruiser (well it's the 250, but it's still a cruiser), got a dirt bike, got a go-kart.

No quad, no jet-ski, and no snowmobile though. But dude, come on, I live in Texas, we don't believe in snow down here, lol.
