very nice bike I must say I like the color combo especially, Not my favorite bike company but definitely up there. how much was it? what are the stats?

Keep it safe and the shiny side up! Always wear your leathers.... I'm totally jealous! Have fun, but keep your cool! Don't wanan end up reading about you...

its a 2001, it was about $5500 with all the taxes.

as far as stats go,

I don't have the balls to find the top speed YET, fastest I've been was around 155MPH. (thats fast enough for me).

you don't really ride this so much as you cling on for your life, and alot of the performance comes down to how good the rider is. I've heard people say the 0-60 time is usually somewhere in the 3.2's-3.6's. I'm not exactly sure.

here's a spec sheet

Ah yes, another fellow rider, good to see.

Glad to see you went with a 6 and not anything larger for your first bike. Respect the power that thing has, even a 6 can bite you in the ass if not respected properly.

Need any tips, let me know.

dannng man thats kickass...i want a motorcycle soo bad!!!

i just have to save up myself and if my parents find out they would kill me.

I like it, and it looks very fast!

very nice bike dude, keep it on two wheels hey, take it easy on that thing, there a handful.

Nice bike man, I really like the color combo...same as my high school and almost the same as Umich's. Kind of Wolverine-esque too...a most excellent ride. STay safe :-)

Cool bike, congrats :)

My weapon of choice would be the Honda CBR600RR*drooooooool*

Well I'll have to wait a bit before owning one :(

Hhahaaha, it looks like a wasp! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 8)

Looking good! Enjoy!

It looks so good man , congratulations , i love it , killing looks , i just can think of 1 better looking bike for that price range , the Yamaha R1 , and the Ducati 748 , but that one is more expensive .

Congrats , love your bite :D

Have you seen the 2004 R1, I'm so pleased to see moast of the manufacturers are following ducati with having their exhausts come out under the seats, They look so much neater...

Congrats on your first bike, Wise choice... Keep it safe and enjoy!

nice bike,congrats on it bein your first bike also :D the ZXR 600 must be quick.a friend of mine has a ZXR400 and that is scary to me when he passes by me at liek 120,lol

As the others, I like the bike and the paintjob is perfect :D congrats for the bike-jacket combo :D

I looked at a couple of CBR600RRs

nice bike, no doubt about that. :D I love honda, and it looks so fast when its sitting still.

but since it's kinda new, i couldn't find any used ones at a decent price, and it had a plank of wood for a seat (hurts your bum) :arrow: (alot).

Excellent bike you8 have there, although I'm more interested in custom bikes. I see you're 17 y of age. Do you have full bike driving licence without any restrictions about maximum kW or engine capacity?

Did you drop it, or was it like that when you bought it? I see the scratches on the exhaust. Anyway, nice bike! Ride safely man! :)

I bought it used. Those scratches were already there. I haven't dropped it yet. :)

No restrictions for me! :D

Shit, I'll stick to my car....I would be fucking scared to do above 100km/h on one of those things! :oops: :oops:

good bike..good 600cc engine power

NICE.

Now you have learn to do wheelies and stoppies :lol:

wheelies are alot harder than i thought they would be.
:x :x

hmm.. I'm gonna go ride some more!

BM, this is your first bike, please go easy with the wheelies. Get comfortable with the bike first. Even when you think you've gotten comfortable, get more comfortable. The last thing I want to read is that you looped the bike. :wink:

Nice bike man :D , congrats and keep it safe as those things can really be deadly.
Cheers

Wow. How much is insurance for you on that thing?
I'm 21 and I'd be paying about $4000CAD a year on something like that.

Id probably be at between 7-9k for that bike @ 17 in Canada.
