nice bike man! i am trying to get ahole of a certain sales person at hamhs motorsport today, to try and purchase my bike :-) he is running late according to them when I call. Dont they want to make a sale man! damn...

EDIT

***Guy didnt even want to help me like he said he would. he said credit or no credit i can help you out. he said call back when u have credit or a different co-signer*** **** that guy.

my friend called me back and told me not to buy from hahm cuz he works their and they always try to rip you off. he bought his bike for 9200 a 05 cbr rr and his friend went out the next week and got it for 8200 in huntington beach honda dealership!

That license plate looks like it'd just flop around when you ride. What's it bolted to?

Has it been down on the right side? It looks like someone cut out a frame slider hole for that side, but not one for the left side.

Nice R6. The only color they belong in.

So you're willing to put yourself in debt for what would only take you 3 months to save for? Take a breath, relax and start saving the money. The bikes will still be there in August.

yeah it was dropped on the right side only damge was cosmetic. it has new skins on both sides. the brake handle was scraped a little bit. thats about it. the lisence plate is bolted to two l brackets on the back. when i get my plate i think im going to have to drill new holes for it so it fits correct. yeah i gotta cut the other side for the slider. the sliders are on back order so im waiting to get them before i start cutting. thanks all for the compliments.

what was your bike before the yamaha?

I was gonna buy a same bike 02 R6, test rode it and it felt like crap to me... thats when i told my self never buy a yamaha. hehe maybe could have been the bike or maybe its just me, but dont get me wrong those bikes are nice.

you should raise that front up tho, the bike will feel like night and day when its stock height and lowered 4". watch those turns.
