Yea man I hear ya. See a chrome bucket and a r1 bad combo. Me I would love to have a red 04-05 r1 but I would have the right gear that matches and helmet. Also Gixxer ppl sometimes piss me off. This guy on a gixxer 1000 said how awesome his bike is blah blah blah.Well my 750 weighes more then his and smaller displacment but with my mods I got his ass. Another thing is the 600 blue and white, yea I'll admit back a few years ago thats what I wanted, I am SOO glad now I didnt go that route.
