God damn! That's a hot gixxer Have fun man, and be safe with it.

 

[PogiTSI]

looks nice, but something about the coloring I dont like. Be carefull man. Ive never seen so many fatal accidents on those things.

 

[awd4g63]

Thanks guys I'll try my best to be safe. I'm a pretty cautious and reserved rider anyway. I've never really had the ambition to do anything stupid on it. This is the first year they've had this paint scheme, and I've always loved black on cars, it's just a really hard color to keep, so I figure on a bike, it might not be so bad

 

[candela]

Wow I haven't seen that color package on any suzuki's yet. Is it just a late 04' thing?

Nice bike

Thanks!

I didn't even know they had this paint scheme until the salesman said something. I was looking at a yellow one with black decals and I said something about loving the color black. He took me to the warehouse and showed me the one I have now. Didn't even hit the sales floor yet.

Be safe and have fun!

 

[RipperXX]

How much was it? What size engine is on it? how much does it weigh?

I paid $8199 for it (plus taxes, tag & title, etc.). It's a 600cc engine and it's around 355lbs dry weight (no gas, oil, etc.).

looks nice but im too scared to ride one

 

[awd4g63]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

It really doesn't have to be scary, it's not fast unless you make it go fast. If you're just scared of dropping it or something, just get an older used bike. Nevertheless, they're awesome! You should look into getting one for the summer

 

[1fast97gsx]

damn nice bike man ... I'm looking into a gixxer or an r6 right now.

 

[Defiant]

Yeah, those goddamned things only have two wheels. You'll be out having a good time, enjoying the ride, everthing cool, and then a stop sign. The effers fall right over on their side. Mine does it every damned time. I don't think they're really safe.

Can you imagine some sorry bastard trying to put those on the market today if they didn't already exist?

:laugh: I haven't had that happen yet, but I do have frame sliders on there to make sure it doesn't scratch the bike itself.

 

[KlipzSpyderGST]

Beautiful

 

[DSMTurboEclipse]

Awesome man, I want a bike but don't think I could trust myself riding one.

 

[Tsar]

Sweet bike, i wish i could have one of those!!!

 

[awd4g63]

Thanks for the compliments

I know this isn't the board for this, but I've noticed a lot of DSMers getting bikes.... it'd be nice to organize a local ride sometime

 

[eclipse90gsxt]

Believe me when I say, you will grow put of that size bike so soon it will suck.

3 people I know bought 600's to start with, because they thought they where fine. Then they sold them for 1000's and 1100's.

Looks awsome though.

 

[RipperXX]

Well damn only 8k... I would save up like 5 and get a loan for the rest.. But I hate loans .. Eh maybe in a few years :-/

 

[pilsner]

nice bike, always loved the gixxers. i also just bought a bike. '02 Honda, 600f4i, bright yellow. don't have any pics of it yet though.

Yeah, I know. I'm already starting to get used to the speed and handling of it. But it's just a great bike for around town. It's not the most practical thing in the world, but it's awesome. I mostly got it because I wanted another bike (a smaller bike) and I basically love the way it looks. I really didn't buy it solely on performance, so I don't think I'll 'grow out of it', I just think I'll get used to it.

Post some pics dude! I was looking at CBR's and F4i's also. I came really close to buying a CBR900RR, but it was a little too uncomfortable for what I wanted.
