Its my first bike, just actually picked it up last week.....gotta say though, I love it. Couldnt have asked for a better bike. I have taken it out almost every day (even in the rain) since I got it. its the 06 GSX R600. The bike handles like a dream and I couldnt be any happier with its the balance and speed of the bike....only complaint I have is that it puts alot of strain on your wrists....guess that will take some getting used to though.

Enough talk...here are some pictures...already ordered a few goodies for it im sure youll see them. Didnt install the fender eliminator kit yet....

Here it is last week...

sweet bike and congrats. be careful though.... thats a lot of power for a first bike.

how tall are you bro? that might have something to do with your wrist hurting. and don't lock your elbows or put your weight on the bars.

I am 5'11. I feel real comfortable on the bike, just the wrist thing. I think it is because I lock my elbows alot, just so used to doing that for some reason.

Yea it is alot of power, def still a learning thing, gotta take it day by day and just be careful. I have been riding with a buddy of mine who has been riding bikes since he was 4 so he has actually taught me alot about the bike. Its def a real good time though, cant imagine not ever riding.

grip the tank with your knees and keep most of your weight on the seat/pegs. DO NOT lock your elbows. just rest your hands on the bars instead of leaning on them to support your weight. you'll also have better throttle/clutch/braking control.

The warning stickers are off, I took them off last night, the reflectors I spun off last night as well. I also got new bar ends on right after I took the pictures.

Yea I found a different way to sit on the bike that is much more comfortable.

Thanks for all the compliments/critiques.
