I am a motorcycle n00b. I have rode dirt bikes somewhat, but never a street bike. Finally after 20 years of wanting a streetbike, I said F_it! I bought a GSXR 600. I figured its a good bike to learn on. Doesnt have the balls of the bigger 1000 but still something to learn feel and acceleration on. I've had it about a month so far, 850 miles. I must say I LOVE RIDING http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

At first I was scared, not of riding, but the idiots on the major roads. After a while I gained confidence and moved to more aggresive roads. Turns Rule!! Top speed, I like, but its a little different. The fastest I've been is 95 mph............LOL. I'm ready to go faster, but I dont want to make a n00b mistake and crash. Well, anyway, I just wanted to say Hi, and here are a few pics of the 04 GSX 600. I want to get a 1000 but they dont make it in Yellow and Black. It really doesnt matter since I paint cars for a living. I can paint the panels yellow and black with no prob, it just sucks that I have to do it.

I saw another post about the GSX 600 - 750 finding parts.

From what I understand, they changed alot of shit in 04. I cant find shit either. I found sliders, but nothing about windshields (need a clear one, for my bike cam) ( I painted my original :\ ) but there arent any see through windshilelds yet, aftermarket. Figures I had to buy a bike that doesnt have parts yet.

Anyway, we all know that bikes CAN be dangerous, and other drivers ARE dangerous, so we try to watch our ass.

Motorcycles RULE!!

not to be a dick or a Mr. knowitall but if youve only ridden at 95mph and have only ridden for a year or two id have to say that getting a 1000 would be crazy- 750 would be premo- http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

ooops, hehe. I forgot the picture. I need an updated pic, this was when I first got it home.

Gixzer - Heh...If you think I'm crazy, my friend bought the Huyabusa 1300 for his FIRST bike, I'll probably just stick with the 600, its definitely fast enough for me.

Gixerboy - cool man, they are great bikes.
