Just got a bike yesterday. Drove to Boise to get it, it's 1 owner, never been down, excellent condition. COMPLETELY stock, down to the ugly *** fender.

I simply could not pass it up as this is essentially the bike I've always wanted.

I got MSF next week, and I am ordering a jacket tonight (I already have everything else). Then once MSF is done and I get my endorsement and insurance etc. I will start riding slowly. I've ridden motorcycles and quads before just not something this fast before.

Either way thought I'd share. And yes I know a 600 is "way too big" for a first bike and I would probably be faster if I started on a 250, etc., but I got this bike to have fun and take at my own pace.

 

While a 600 IS too much for a first bike I cant say sh*t cause I started on one too. That being said take her easy, and once you have a decent set of street riding skills try and do a trackday. You'll learn more about yuor bike and yourself in one trackday than 5000 miles on the street.

Oh and nice bike.

 

a gsxr that isn't rashed is hard to come by. good find, how much did you pick it up for?

 

Congrats on the purchase! That bike looks cherry!

 

$5600. 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.

 

ooo pretty, I started on a 600 too..it's not as hard as everyone says it is.

 

Nice looking bike, gear up and take it easy.

Oh, and don't wreck it.

 

veyy nicee

There is 1 in the back too.

 

Nice bike man. You are now a member of the Gixxer Club
My friend bought his first bike shortly after I picked up my new gixxer6. He bought an R6. I gave him lots of riding tips and now he can keep up with me in the twisties quite well. Just be safe man, there's lots of incompetent cagers out there with no respect for us lil ole motorcycle riders.
This is my bike right when I bought it.

320 miles away + worst highway Idaho has + dont have all my gear yet + no endorsement

 

I only used 2 for awhile on my bike... never had an issue. Now i just use 4 just for the added security

You should use only two, and make sure they're not ratcheting so your **** falls off the trailer like .paul

 

I already dropped it once on the trailer... with the ratchet type. I don't like the cam lock ones...

Had mine in the back of my buddies truck... with tie downs front and rear, and somehow it fell over in the bed, f'ed up my brand new paint and dent-free gas tank and upper fairing. Not because he was taking turns too fast, but because "the tie downs must have gotten loose"

 

nice bike.. my brother inlaw has the same 04.. has only 900 mi on it..

2 kids=no riding

 

Very nice choice, my favorite year of gixxers. How many miles are on it?

 

wow that bike is really mint condition. i think you'll do just fine but winter is coming up get all your stuff asap so you'll have some riding time!

 

nice

 

Very clean Suzuki.

Take the MSF course, ride within your abilities, and keep the rubber side down.
