    [QUOTE=deathrex;38472538]not much weight change and a hell of alot more power. the new gsxr1000's are the lightest bikes out. the gsxr is really comfortable especially the new ones. i think they might be more comfortable than the cbrs. but i like the weight on the cbr it dosent sling arround like the gsxr will. it really depends on what kind of riding that youre doing. stunting id love a gsxr just light and easy to move arround on. the cbr i use for mountain rides and track days and i can still stunt it.



    I'd really like to get a new gsxr1k but with insurance and everything i'd rather look into getting a ducati sport bike and call it a day. plus with insurance, tickets, ect. a new bike wouldnt be the best choice.

    you ever go to any bike meets? how experienced do you need to be to do mountain runs? if you need any1 to ride with i'll tag when I move up to liter bike

    the bike nights ive been too are arround lawrenceville are pretty much done for the season. Hooters few random other spots arround here. I ride down to the vortex every so often for a bike night but be wary of sketchy people. Heard of a few people ride down then they think someones fallowing them home and sure enough their bikes gone when they wake up. And as far as insurance goes im only paying $27 a month for full coverage through progressive. Theve been the cheapest ive found besides state farm but they wont insure me because of an at fault accident last year. With insurance its all about how long youve been riding and experience and if the tickets were moving violations they should be off youre record in 2 years, assuming their not dui's. So if its been more than 2 years go to the dmv and get a driving record if its clean submit it to your insurance also riders safety courses will help drop on insurance rates.

    As far as mountain rides go ride within your abilities. Ive seen guys go up there with minimal experience and do very well. Ive also seen guys that have lots of experience push too far and hurt themselves. Ive seen post for mountain rides on here, get with people and let them know youre a newer rider and want to tag along most of the guys will be very understanding and tell you little tricks and tips and take it slow on a cruise. But definately when you first go up to say blood mountain or any other place like that just take a few trips up there and just cruise it get to know the feel of your bike when it starts getting real low in the turns. But dont push too hard on it. And yeah man as soon as i get the new rears in im always down for a ride even now. i like to cruise as well. so we dont have to go crazy fast or anything like that.

    cool, just send me a pm if u want to ride out. I'll check the other threads also for mountain rides. just wondering how old are you? im 18 and the insurance company said thats why my rates are so high. 960 a year with 1 ticket on my record, (about 2 tickets going 23 over, tint/sound violation) its been about a year and a half since that ticket none since then. I dont have full coverage just liability and comprehensive for theft or if its dropped. so is 960 a good rate or too much ?

    that seems real steep. im 20 goin on 21 and mines only $324 a year full coverage. ive had a few tickets for speeding one that was 36 over, and 1 accident. tint and sound are non moving violations and wont be reported to the dmv. as far as i know there on record for 2 years then there gone after that. so after 2 years id go to the dmv get my driver record and submit it to the insurance company. Also if youre in school you may be able to get a good student discount. ask for any other discounts you may qualify for.

    its not the same thing. but they do have the motorcycle safety courses plus motorcycle riding school kinda things that help out with lowering insurance rates. i know honda riders association gets discounts on motorcycle insurance. and completing a riders training course could save up to 10-15% on insurance.
