I can see everything else but why a flame suit?
He is just saying he bought a new bike. So he didn't buy a used bike or a 250cc one.
I had never ridden until I picked u my 600RR.

Anyway welcome to the family.

I agree with gravity.

Have fun man and be safe. Don't be too cool for gear, practice in a parking lot for many hours before hitting the streets and take it easy.

Lets see some pics.

Well when i was at the dealership i also looked at the RR and had some thoughts about it.... i like the feel of the f4i a little bit more and the f4 isn't as agressive as the rr. The price also was a pretty big factor... got the helmet and jacket.... on tuesday when the bike gets here i'm gonna purchase sliders for it along with a pair of gloves. pics will be up soon. Thanks for the welcome

I like the comfort of the f4i over the rr.
Thats my reason for picking f4i over rr.
My huffy is too fast for me. I dotn plan on going any faster than the f4i can.

Oh and congrats, and be safe.
