    Default My New Bike

    Last week I went out and bought a 2006 R6 50th anniversary edition. Only has 1200 miles on it and is in MINT condition, not a scratch on her. I know have 1600 miles on it since I bought it Wednesday night..lol

    Anyways, I loved the look of it but the fact they only made 150 of these and it being such a rare item on the street, I couldnt pass it up.

    Last bike I had was 9 years ago when I had a Ninja and I have had the itch in me ever since. I cant get over how happy this bike has made me the past few days, I didnt realize how much I missed having a bike and just spending whole days riding with no place in mind to go, Just getting out there... and.. going

    See some of you at the bike meet Wedensday night at Hooters im sure

    Good choice. Way overkill, but you and QD are old enough to use some discretion with the throttle.

    Quick question: Are you going to let QD hop on the back and ride bitch???

    I wasnt looking for a 1000, I am quite happy with this one and the limited editions are geared a tad different so everyone I know who has 1,000's who have gotten on this say its alot like one.

    I could be wrong, But from what I hear this bike is a tad different, Like I have a USB cord and CD that I can plug into the laptop to adjust settings of the bike, Titanium head I think, and other things... But I am not all knowing, I am just getting back into bikes so I dunno for sure.

    yeah 9 years ago I had a Ninja 600 and I loved that bike, so I knew this would be good for me and one I doubt Id outgrow.

    I bet this 600 feels alot faster Fuel Injection is nice to. I didn' t your bike came w/ a Power Commander like Bucky. I still want to see how fast your bike is if you dont mind racing. I like going fast straight i was pricing out a new zx-14 as soon as i can pay it off to many bills atm =/ 600 feels to slow up top o well nice bike though hope you enjoy it for a long time...
