Nice man, a 600 - Although please tell me this isn't your first bike!
Next stop - GSXR 1000?

Plus its in mint condition with very low kms couldnt say no! But yes a GSX1000r will be next. An f**k driving the FTO...OMG the bike is

Arent you getting that J? .
Ok I have ordered the flush mounts and the intergrated tail light. Now gotta make me a license bracket to sit under the battery tray with the LED screws. Exhaust will be ordered soon. Oh and BTW I went to a bike dealer and found an '03 model with the jardine exhaust... OMG loud is an understatement.

I loved my 125!
Chose the Honda because of the price. Hadn't saved up enough for the GSX1000R (2006) model and this one came up. Also sat on a few of the other supersports and the Honda and GSX600R were the most comfy. But IMO saying which one is better between these modern bikes is like splitting hairs... I'm happy with my purchase..Can;t wait for the new exhaust.
Oh and I havent been anywhere near half throttle or above 7K rpm. Too scared of my life and my license

You'll get use to it.. I was like that going from my L's to a Giver 1k... But a few reclined gear changes from hitting about 130 in first seems to get you use to speed... Have you done any track days or rider courses @ the Creek???bushido wrote:I loved my 125!

600s are nice man, from your last bike to 600 imo is the better transition anyway.

CBR250 is pretty THE bike to get on your learners.
It looks good, drives good and is probably the best 250 you can get without blowing your budget.
I've got 6-7 friends who ride bikes, all started on CBR 250.. I've been a huge bike fan for ages but sadly, everybody says this - "If you have friends that ride bikes, they'll directly know at least one person that's been horribly injured or died due to a bike crash".
Also the good old "The only way to survive on a bike is to realise that as far as everybody else is concerned, you don't exist".
That really talked me out of getting one, I've always wanted one since I was young though..

CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
