My new toy! A few pics inside...

[iloveboost]

This is my first bike I've owned. I've ridden a few times a few years ago but nothing like a sportsbike. It's taking some getting used to but I taught myself to ride it yesterday.

I've got some parts on order (slip-on, tank cover, frame sliders). I don't plan on doing anything other than cosmetic changes to the bike. I already got the fender eliminator and flush mount turn signals installed on the bike to clean up the look.

Yeah, I've got a thing for silver... :D

It's a 2008 Yamaha R6.

Yeah, I was a little hesitant to buy it. I've never ridden before and it's a lot of money to invest into something you've never tried. I'm loving it so far. I've gotten it up to 80mph on a long straightaway. It's pretty intense.


congrats daniel!! looks good bro! :goodjob:
Thanks man! It's no big bike like your Busa but it's still pretty fun to ride.


all i gota say is becareful
Yeah, I've got the important safety gear. Alpinestar jacket, gloves, Shoei helmet for now. I'm trying to get used to looking around me, scanning the road and understanding my surroundings before I take it out on the road too much. It's an adjustment.

Thanks guys!

[r0bb86]

Congrats - be safe man.
+1 for having good gear - +2 for wearing it!

Are you going to take the MSF?

[iloveboost]

I was only crusing through my neighborhood and it was hot. I wasn't getting enough speed to stay cool. When I went out on the street I was in my jacket, gloves and helmet. There's no excuse for not wearing it other than I felt pretty comfortable at that point to ride without it. I used my best judgement. :D

Only one light is on when riding unless the highbeams (both) are turned on.


that's nice man, i just picked me up the '08 R1. Yamaha has got the nicest bikes IMO.
Yeah, I love Yamaha's look. It had most of what I wanted. I went by the Ducati dealership this past weekend and I'm upset I didn't at least go look at their stuff.

I wish I would've bought the Ducati 848 Superbike. =|

Yeah, with gas prices the way they are I can't say I blame you.

I watch for dogs, squirrels, road kill, gravel and most importantly... female drivers, LOL!


LoL

I take it that you've heard stories..... :D
Have you modded your 1000 yet?

[iloveboost]

Oh, and it f%^&*ng blows that it rained all weekend. Only got to ride for a few hours on Saturday morning.

[koffebean00]

Naw.... just Yosh slip-ons. I plan on replacing the whole system, filter, and power commander...

[iloveboost]

Good stuff! It'll be a rocket once it's done. I don't want to go that fast on a bike, heh.

[Black R]

[iloveboost]

Thanks man! I love Sperry shoes, heh.

Buy my 1 week old R6, heh.

I want a Ducati 848 Superbike in red with Termignoni carbon fiber/titanium exhaust and Marchesini wheels. =| Perhaps for my next bike, heh. I will lose too much if I sold now.

[sierra]
