Schu is the tie down ****! (I use 4 because the truck I haul with has a 5th wheel hitch. So the rear tire sits on one of the brackets and makes me feel uneasy using 2.)

Congrats I really like that year GSX-R. I wouldn't mind having a 04-05 750.

I've been looking FOREVER for one that isn't beat or wasn't owned by some idiot. It might be a little on the high side but sometime you gotta pay extra to get what you really want. Plus I NEVER see yellow/black around here.

Yeah I plan on taking it easy until I am comfortable. I do plan on hitting up some track days once I feel like I'm ready.

nice bike!

thats a pretty good price. i paid $5000 for my 2004 gsxr600 with rattle canned fairings, but this was also back in may when the riding season was just starting.

To the OP, nice bike. Enjoy
I took the MSF course as well. Good stuff for new riders in my opinion. Money worth spending.
I just picked up a '00 929 as my first. IMHO, motorcycles while all different can all kill you real quick; 600, 750, 1000, whatever.
Respect for the machine is the most important. Knowing what does what and taking small steps as a new rider, not trying to ride outside your skill level and you can toss your leg over anything and progress.
Have fun and be safe

Nice Bike!

I cant say **** other than if you have enough self control, you can start on a 600 without a problem. I started on a modded R6, moved to Gixxer, and now my 07 RR. Never had a problem until doing a run and encountering mud in the road which put me down. Good luck and be safe.
