So I had 3 grand laying around, and as most of you know I have a car that was stolen, and is not in the best shape. The quest for most of us here is to have a vehicle that goes fast, so I got a really good deal on a ZX-6R


Youll notice the civic in the background

got rpm??


If you want to go fast...get one of these!! I put it down yesterday, and I was at 110 before I could say "my civic is slow". Its jetted, and has a Muzzy header and exhaust. 400lbs and 108hp. That would be like my civic having over 540!! The previous owner (works for the buell race team) ran a 10.43. Not to shabby

Nice bike can't say I love those colors but the 6R is a nice bike IMO. As a fellow sporbike rider I won't lecture you about wearing safety gear etc. that's your choice but do becareful man. I'm new to riding myself but to me there is nothing more pleasing then a 600cc sportbike. Nimble, lightweight, and the new ones are very fast but also quite a bit more dangerous. How long have you been riding? I envy you I'm still saving for a new R6 so no bike for me right now and there are so many beautiful days lately. Have alot of fun (I'm sure you will) for the both of us man.

nice

 

get that bad boy a nice new paint job

 

my cousins bike is at my house in a broken state ZX-11R. Used to be nice now it needs a nice new fiber glass cover.

 

damn traitor j/k

looks good

 

Sick man, like everyone else said...be careful, I've heard horror stories...

 

lol i wish i had some of those laying around too!!

nice buy. hella dangerous if not careful! hella fast!!

 

No helmet laws here in Illinois! wooo! I think we just need protective eyewear. Is it the same there in Ohio?

 

jake im asumming you drove the hatch..... how sweet is the ignition tho =P nice bike call me when you get back in town

 

I took it for a slow drive around the block. As far as gear goes...I bought an armored jacket and a nice helmet that I will wear 100% of the time..as well as my passangers. Riding is fun..but not worth dying for Im taking off the stickers when I get back too

jake kick it w/ us at darry queen you'll see some nice cars and bikes.... ducatis, R1's, cbrs etc sc'd lude, vr4, some nice 5.0s too im working on getting you an inside harness for the hatch

 

Yea but in Ohio we have what's they call a novice law. If you got your endorsement after you were 18 or older then you have to wear a helmet for 6 months but if you are under 18 (myself) when you got your endorsement then you are considered a novice for 1 year. My license even says MC novice on it. All novices must wear a helmet when they ride but that is the only restriction. After your novice time is up by law you don't have to wear a helmet anymore in Ohio.

I like it that way because I feel wearing your seatbelt or a helmet should be up to you to decide not the state but in Ohio we have mandatory seatbelt laws but no helmet laws once you have your 6-12 months of riding done.

My thoughts exactly. Have fun though man that's just as important as the safety gear because if your not having fun then what are you really riding it for. Have a great summer.

Damn! You paid 3grand for a bike that does 10.43? Thats awesome! I know little about streetbikes, but are most 600cc's and bigger that fast?
I like the way they look lowered and painted all one color, jmo. How much do those kind of bikes usually run price wise?
Anyways, cool bike man!

Very nice! Im gonna buy a bike next summer, a 600cc for sure. I figure paying around 5 g's for anything that will go a 170 is a good deal! Be careful those front end's have a tendency to lift off the ground!!!! (not really a bad thing though )Have fun with it!
