I saw some nice tecnik ones. To be honest anything under $120. I want to be able to drag my knee this year.

are you going to take some track classes to improve your riding? I'm debating whether or not I am ready for that. I want to put some more miles under my belt before going to racing school.

Why dont you post some pictures of your RR? i would love to see it.

Sport bikes definitely are uncomfortable. I'm so glad I went for a bit more of a cruiser style this time around, all my friends who are on crotch rockets are faster but when we go on a 100 mile ride to the lake they're hurtin by the time we get there (while I'm comfy cushy lol)

For gear, did you get solid leathers? You should look for a mesh jacket and pants with a removable liner, will let a lot of air flow and keep you cool.

You definitely will notice how bad other drivers are, and how many people flat out don't pay attention before changing lanes or making turns. Don't go too crazy on that rocket though. I about took out a guy on a Honda the other day in my car, he came flying down the middle lane of the interstate doing at least 120 in the middle of rush hour, I was trying to merge into the middle lane and he was about a foot away from getting killed (and I'm VERY AWARE of bikes around me).

And yes...weather channel is constantly updating on my phone lol

*EDIT* forgot to say congrats on the purchase, that's a nice looking bike! Have fun!

I plan on taking the CRA classes here. But will do some track days for sure. I'll post pics tonight when my girl friend gets home.

too many battle wounds on the bike.

i'm jealous. you have the newer 636. I think its one of the sexiest motorcycles of all time.

sorry not the 636. its the RR so only 600

I feel like ****. I just sold my bike to a squid..

Damn I wonder how much I could get for my bike.

Your bike would be hard to sell because a lot of people don't know what so special about the RR is. So you wont get the value you want.

My bike had a lot of *bling* added to it so it sold fast. Less then 5 days and it was gone. I also priced it cheap.

Still super depressed about my loss, Maybe a triumph 675 would be the right medicine.

I dont care if you are Nicky Hayden, there is no way a ninja 250 is gonna take me in the turns on my old ZX6-R. I lived in Monterey for 4 years and have probably 1000 miles logged on Laguna Seca. It just aint happening.

With your price range you can get all kinds of different bikes.
