Nice man, a 600 - Although please tell me this isn't your first bike!

Next stop - GSXR 1000?

nah not my first bike. I had an Aprilia RS125 before (I miss her

). Yeh I was always going to get the GSX1000r but this one came up for a very good price (bought through a friend). 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???

600s are nice man, from your last bike to 600 imo is the better transition anyway.
Get a ninja :p
Actually, f**k it. Ducati!

I was about to give you the "WTF you sell an FTO for a Honda" tirade; pleasantly surprised. Can quite happily tolerate Honda bikes; good score

BTW, I say you should line Ben or nvr2low on the strip and embarass them with the almighty H bike!!!!eleventy!!!1111!!

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..

I miss my 125

Little while off getting my 09 600RR, but that 06 looks great!

Nice buy!

About the only time Honda does things right IMO
