My New Bike

[Allstar3.8T]

Good call on the bike, very cool, and a 600 is all you really need. the civic is gone huh?! Wow, that was a fast transition....or was it?! Hmmmmm

[Nightsrt4]

ROFL i doubt that =/ I am game to race my 600 for fun if you can beat me thats awesome and i think i did see you on your bike 2 weeks ago at Hooters for the end of the month meet.

[Brett]

Nah you didnt see me, I just bought the bike last week

Greg... No it wasnt a fast transition and yeah the 600 is more than enough power for me for sure.

[Nightsrt4]

have you ever had a bike before this one? my 06 was my first bike like this so i wanted to go small and after a few months could only wish i would have gotten a much bigger bike =/ still alive so its not all that bad just slow in a straight line.

But i ride alot my 06 has 13k miles

But what you dont realize is that you probably saved your self some suffering and learned more by starting out small. Not only that, but if you had bought a 1000, then wrecked it like most newbies, you would more than likely have been discouraged to ride ever again..........like most newbies that go down hard. Its human nature to want more as soon as you get the feel of what you got, but there's a lot more to learn about riding (especially in traffic) than just bike control.

You made the right choice. Now that you've got some good seat time, sell it and buy what you want. Bikes hold thier value great.

[Nightsrt4]

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...

[Brett]

Yeah mine I know has the power commander

[con]

nice bike, be safe out there man...regardless of if you're just running to the corner for a lotto ticket or turning a block, gear up

[Brett]

Thanks man

[The BUCKY]

yea that bike is the same as all the new r6. it just has a power commander and exhaust. take a pic of your chain/sprocket setup. its prob been changed. the bike has a slipper clutch stock which is prob the best factory feature of that bike. when you really start riding it hard you will begin to appreciate it.

[Nightsrt4]

Yeah my bike did not come w/ it kinda was scary at first droping the clutch at high rpms and the back tire shake....

[The BUCKY]

yea i abuse the hell outta my slipper. i love it. i almost layed down the ducati the day i got it forgeting that it didnt have the slipper

[Brett]

Yeah it shifts well and I have run it hard on shifts a few times and it has virtually no jerking to it at all

[The BUCKY]

downshifting is where the slipper clutch comes in. slips enough to not let the rear wheel lock up while trying to match engine speed. basically makes the bike more stable on downshifting

[Brett]

Gotcha, well it does a great job then cause I downshift pretty quick to

[The BUCKY]

drop it into second at about 65 and you will love the clutch. i dont know if you remember you old bike, but i am sure if you did that on it you would be on the pavement

[con]

slipper clutches kick ass!!!! downshifting on the '06 750 was like butter.......

[§treet_§peed]

like i told you the other day.. i FUCKING HATE YOU BERT.. nah j/k glad for ya can't wait until i get mine lol

[Brett]
