Default New bike...well, to me!

hey guys, I have been looking for a new bike for the last couple months after I got rid of my Mille R, and decieded on something I wasn't going to pay too much for, and would be ok putting a lot of miles on....

After cruising craigslist for the last month or two, I found this pearl:
WARNING BLURY PICS!







2006 ZX6R....Has 6500 miles, and I paid 5K for it. Guy that had it broke the left mirror, and never replaced it. When he posted it, I immediately called him, as I was mainly looking at '03-04's for around this price with 10K miles or so.

Oh and:

Jacket: Yea, I have two A*, and a Joe Rocket......

Gloves: yea, a couple pairs also

Pants: Naa, I got bottomless mostly...

Boots: Yea, a pair of Sidi's

Helmet: Two KBC's, and two Arai's.

MSF: expletive NO!

I am really starting to Like Kawi's the past few years they have made some great supersport bikes... i dont know about the liter bikes though.

plus they save you $$$ right off the bat with the wave rotors and the dampner.
