[ooberdoob]

you always lose money trading, is it worth the difference?

[BlueMan0312]

my biggest problem with the 500r is the exhaust is on the sides right next to my legs and the back tire is really thin.

the zx-6r has the exhaust under the seat and i would not be able to burn by legs in the summer. and the back tire is 5.3 in compared to the front 4.7 in. not a big difference but it helps in the traction.

[Wiscon_Mark]

if that's the reason, go for it.

And give me the 500r :D

[BlueMan0312]

i'm not shipping it


your driving it home...

[Wiscon_Mark]

haha, I'd do it, if I could get down to florida again...

[BlueMan0312]

$4000

[Wiscon_Mark]

uh.

No.

:lol:

[Reason]

Sell the 500, My friend has the 05 version. Awesome bike! We just put on a yoshimiru under tail exhaust, clear front side markers, LED integrated brake and directional's and a black chrome windscreen. I get pics but I will till I get my bike.

[jakmobile]

I had an 05 636 with Two brothers exhaust/power commander and some other goodies. I had a gs500f before that and after riding the 636 I would never go back to a 500cc.

You will love that bike.......

[BlueMan0312]

either the ZX-6R
or the
Suzuki GSX-R600

I can't deside!!!!!

[Reason]

I was a HUGE Suzuki fan till last years 600 and 1000 came out with that shitty design. Not the 750 has it this year. They look like ASS.......my opinion of course. I'm in love with a 05 Raven black 06 also 2000-2002 GSX-R's

[BlueMan0312]

now i like the 06 better.

the exhaust it under the seat and there are no pipes for the pasenger to burn their legs on... (my brother has burned his legs a number of times on the side pipes)

the blinkers on the 06 are in the side view mirrors... my blinkers on the 500r cracked the body when i fell.

and overall i think it looks sleeker.

[Reason]

They dont look bad in pictures, have you seen them in person? :smt078

[BlueMan0312]

i'm going to try ant test ride one after work today :D

Test drive? Never knew you could test drive bikes (well around here you cant). Good luck anyway, they are a whole alot of bike. Suzuki up the power last year.

[BlueMan0312]

i don't know if i wil be able to but i am willing to try

LMAO your biggest problem sounds like your coming up with excuses to buy a rediculous fast bike.. hahahaha. really the tires are wider so you have more traction.. but there is a reason for that. when your holding a turn at 120mph dragging a knee you need that width. hahaha I say go for it man. Heres my bike fresh from paint.. goota love that subaru blue!!

It's in the works :D :D

[Reason]

I love that color scheme

[Wiscon_Mark]

I love that color scheme

ditto :)

[GrassyKnoll]

oh my god this bike is making me want a bike so bad.

I think I will get one for college. I'm thinkin either STI or a bike in college (largely dependent on how many bucks i can scrounge up ;))

[Wiscon_Mark]

I'm thinking STI is going to be a bit more expensive.

Wait, you're not in college yet, and you're talking STi resale?

that's quite daring.

[GrassyKnoll]

I know ;-) I already own two businesses. You might say I'm a bit of an entrepreneur.

just think about parking... it's easier to find parking for a bike than a car...



I love that color scheme

at first i wanted a blue one but after seeing it in person the red is... *drooling*... really nice.

i am going down to the shop on thursday... my brother (who is only 16) is nice enough to pay the rest off and i just pay him back insted of the shop...

[GrassyKnoll]

That's essential. It is my personal belief that if you don't have the money to do it by yourself (or with family help) then you should save the money till you can really afford it. All too often, people dig themselves holes with loans / financing.

[BlueMan0312]

i now own a Red 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600. :D :D

[GrassyKnoll]

CONGRATS!! :shock: 8) don't go killin yourself ;-)

[BlueMan0312]

i fell on my Ninja so i am really careful when riding.



This bike is 10x better than the Ninja... and about 50lb lighter. I love the GSX-R

[Reason]

i now own a Red 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600. :D :D

Nice! I think my deal is falling through. I'm waiting for the title :( If this guy don't get it buy the end of June I might look alse where. Goos luck with the new bike!

[belladonna]

yah! :-D

i heart gixxers 8)

[BlueMan0312]

i'm going to get some night shots then i will post under member rides

[Reason]

My friend just went up to M.O.M.S in NH and got a 05 Yamaha YZF 600. I'm the last of my close friends to get one :(

[BlueMan0312]

i have the bike three days and i already got pulled over for speeding... no ticket though

I was swithcing to a car to pick up my girlfriend from work. (she works in the dispatch center for the sheriff's office)

[GrassyKnoll]

hahahah. Sounds like a good connection to have :)

[BlueMan0312]

yah... i know alot of the local deputies...


she got pulled over going 75 in a 35... the cop walked up to her window and just said "Aw Come On!" turned around and walked back to his car and drove off... no ticket or warning... it was her good friend... (lucky)

[belladonna]

:lol:

sounds familiar :angel4:

[BlueMan0312]

yah it's easier for women to get out of tickets...

the only reason i got away was i was pulled over by a county cop in the city limits... the city cops are picky about the county doing things in there juristiction even though the county has juristiction.

[Legacy-Version94]

hmmm, have fun and be safe man. i bet the insurance is crazy on that!?

[BlueMan0312]

the insurance is no mor than i payed to the Ninja 500R...Which is surprising.

If i get the money should i Powder coat the rims red like the blue one has it coated blue?



EDIT: Can someone Photoshop it for me... I'm not good enough to do it myself without it looking weird.

[NewGenSTi]

my attempt.
