Bike Pictures

I have yet to post any pics of my new bike, so I finally got around to taking some and getting them up on here. Sorry for the bad lighting, it is in my garage

It is a 2003 Suzuki GSXR 600.

You're exactly right, it is a hobby. The older you get the more expensive the toys become :)

I considered getting a bike for over a year before I purchased this one. I have a good friend who has been riding for 10 years and he helped me learn. I wasn't sure how much I would like riding and was a little concerned that I wouln't enjoy it very much. That concern is a thing of the past now :) Once I gained a little confidence and experience the fear disappeared and I have really begun to enjoy riding. I'm not one of those hot shots who races around cutting in and out of traffic or doing wheelies, it just doesn't fit my personality, but I do like accelerating to the speed limit quickly and taking it on curvey roads. It's a blast so far, hopefully I'll enjoy it as much in a few years as I do now.

I guess you never know if it is a hobby for you until you try it. That is why I looked for a bike that I could be happy with for a few years if I did enjoy it, while making a smart purchase. I got this bike for over $1000 less than blue book, that way if I didn't like it I could get my $ back or at least not lose out too big. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Or if you have advice for me let me know since I still have a lot to learn :)

I started learning the day I got my permit on a 600 CC Yamaha R6. I was freakin blown away at the power I had in my right hand. VERY scarey. I am not confident at all right now and hopefully the fear of riding disappears like you said man. 600 CC is more than fast enough for me. I'll probably end up buying a nice little Daytona Triumph as a starter bike.

I hear ya. The first day I started riding my bike I was scared $hitless, and I was only in a parking log Luckily my parents live in a small lake community and my friend rode my bike out there for me to practice on. Like many things there is a steep learning curve and the fear will disappear quickly. I will have to check out that Daytona you mentioned. My friend instructed me to buy a 600 as a starter so that I wouldn't get bored within the first few years and I agree with you, it is more than enough to keep me interested.

i had a gs500e suzuki named "Suzi" as my starter bike. it was kinda doggy but still pretty fast at the begining. then i got a kawaski zx6r and for a 100cc's thats a big difference but i loved the power. i got on that the first day i got it and opened it up wide opened for like 10 secs and i was going like 140 and 140 on a bike is a huge difference than in a car.

I was talking to my friend who is the leader of a 200 + biker crew here in San Diego, and he said I would kill myself on his tricked out 1,000 CC Suzuki jixer(sp?) bike. He's put over 10,000 grand into the bike. He's one of those insane mofo's. They mob over 100 deep on the freeways doing things you see in movies. I guess if your confident to do a stunt and be safe about, SHOW IT OFF ON THE FREEWAY LOL. He's seen like 3 of his good friends crash, and some die while riding, and he still busts out a standing christ or the most vertical wheely you'll ever see. He's also married with kids. Crazy stuff. I think he has a website with pictures of all the pimped out sports bikes.

You should check out the reviews for the new triumphs. I was riding one and it was freakin the best ride of my life. My friends R6 was very uncomfortable and I'm 6'0 , 240 pounds. I could ride that triumph all day with comport man. Don't underestimate the European bikes

I also here its an instant chick magnet. LOL My girlfriend will hate the extra attention but I'd never even think about using it for the wrong reasons.
