Ok, hubby's bike is almost paid off. They have one of each sitting in the showroom, but we are having an issue. We can't figure out which color is better. We like the blue and the white. However, the white will only look good when it is clean, and the rear will take grease. The rear wheel might be a bitch to keep looking clean.
Which one do you think looks better?

I prefer the white one... although yeah, keeping it looking clean may be a pain in the ass. They're both nice, but the white one looks cooler. For some reason, the red R on the blue one bugs me. lol It looks like it doesn't belong there.. would have looked better if it was the same color as the other one. But what do I know?!

Jenn, can you drive? I would so loooove to learn how to drive one of those.

I ride this:

I have no desire to learn that whole clutch thing. With this I can twist and go.

Ok, he went with the white one. I knew he would. Too bad he didn't know LOL. While out and about yesterday, he saw 3 in blue and not one in white. I think that sold him.

Whatever you do, wear a helmet and proper gear. I spent Saturday evening helping scrape a guy off the road in front of my house. He hit a deer at around 100kph. Went down wearing a t shirt and track pants. Anything short of a proper full face helmet is for retards, and I know someone who can tell you why, if he regains the ability to talk.

Having said that, I've done into 300,000k on sport bikes, its the most fun you can have and call it transportation. Just be careful out there.

The White one looks cooler. I hear ya though, you would definitely have a challenge keepin the white one clean.


Good luck


p.s. just get a HOG!

Ok, hubby's bike came home last week. We have been out riding until 4am. I'm getting better at working the clutch. I no longer stall it. I use the Suzuki shifting system. I don't even look at my RPM's anymore. All you have to do is listen.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuu zuuuuuuuuuuuuuu kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Thats when I know to shift Wait, that would only put me in 3rd. Goooooooooeeeeeeeeees Reeeeeaaaaaalllllllllllll Faaaaaaassssssssssssssssssst! There, I got it to 6th gear.
Thanks Christ I don't have a Honda or I'd only ever get to 2nd gear with this system.
Hooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnn Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I'd never get anywhere on time.

Yeah, the black was only available on the 750 and 1000. That sucked. Now he's trying to tell me his bike is white, and pure like him. Yeah, right! LOL

oh yah of course they probably do that on purpose so you spend more everything cost more on them . 600 cc is more than enough unless your racing professionally.

Yeah, he did some research. 290km/hr on the GSXR600. If he hits 290km and doesn't kill himself, I will kill him myself. There wouldn't be anything left at 290km.

lol wow only 290 he won't be able to pass that ferarri ... i've crashed going 80 km on a dirtbike and it wasn't pretty

It makes me wonder. Why would a company make ANYTHING that you can drive at 290km/hr stock? Thats insane. Especially on 2 wheels.

lol.... because some ppl injoy putting there life on the line just as in other activitys. Its exciting for people the risk involved... I agree far more with putting someone on 2 wheels at that speed than something on 4 wheels if they make mistake there are the only ones likely to be injuried.
