Default sold my 88si today, but i got a CBR for it!

I traded my blown engine, recently molested (by thieves) y49 crx for a CBR 600 F2 with Yoshi pipe and a jet kit. I think I did good on the trade, I know I can find another CRX chassis, I didn't need the motor anyway. What do you guys think?? I'll be back with another EF real soon, all I have to do is find one. I'll post pictures tomorrow of my car and the bike. I may have to try to talk them into letting me buy back some of the stuff in it though. I may have to sell my LSvtec though to buy a new rex.....

I like it plain, I dig the single color.....my last bike had alot of graphics, I like it better this way. Even though I hate red...but i'm not gonna complain.

I'm already shopping for another rex, I won't have anything else.....I love the car too much. Normally I wouldn't have done it, but I've just been a little depressed about my car, and this was too good to pass up, the bike is worth alot more than my car in its current state.
Blaze:
There are much more important things than that..... Have you ever had one? I've already flipped one, and I won't make that mistake again, its not worth the pain. But to fulfill your curiousity...
I got scared at 135mph on my old bike, and I'm pretty sure this will do well over that. The only reason I let out then was I was coming up on traffic and the wind was hell, that and I could feel the bike starting to wander. I sure as hell don't want to lose it at 135+. The CBR is geared really low, I think it will run out of revs before it runs out of power. Oh yea, it redlines at 13000. It's pretty fast, but I don't know alot about bikes, so I don't know how it compares to other bikes. It's got a jet kit (stage 2 maybe??) and a pipe on it.
