<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Austin @ Jul 18 2008, 10:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I've been saying for about the past five years that you can't buy a bad 600. It's already made riding more enjoyable tenfold. Weather here is pretty .... from mid October through March or April. Literally not rideable from December through March. Thanks for the well wishes and advice.

yeah, if you think about it, no one really needs more than a 600 for street riding
(I'm just saying that 125 HP is PLENTY)
todays 6's have more horsepower than the liter bikes of the past
not insane power (although that word is relative), but with less weight. A truly well balance bike for the street. Definitely can make riding more enjoyable, even for us iter bike riders
 
I sold my 03 r6 last year. Great bike, I'm not sure about the 08 but I've read the 03 has the best sorted FI.

Her name was Frita, "Firey Frita" I had the black with flames model. I could make love with the curves.

What size of front tire do you have?

To be honest I couldn't tell you off the top of my head if it's got a 60 or 70 up front. I bought it with Metzelers and just thought '...., well I guess I'll replace these in the winter' and put it out of my mind.

I don't know Drill. I just can't seem to find anything that fits.
 
Do you all have such superstition that you actually name your bikes?

Not so much a superstition thing, just proper etiquette. If you like your bike, you should name her. I never named my Kwaker because it was a piece of ..... My new bike is proper and I like her, so I really need to figure out a fitting name.

Well i'll admit I don't know my history on the subject, but naming a vehicle is proper etiquetter because people have been doing it for years. Does anyone actually know why? I can see no logical reason to name or personify an object like that.
 
It is another way to have fun. Bikes are like woman, they bring a smile to my face.

Should have named the Kawa "Slutting Whore" as it sucked and was cheap.
 
That bike looks like a piece of garbage. How much did you pay?... not much i hope.... wait wait I do hope you paid a lot for a trash heap.

Haha kidding man Beautiful bike.










































Wait, nevermind.....its gay.
 
Nice ride Ooost! Congrats!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (xx CURVE xx @ Jul 17 2008, 02:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>WTF!...you need to name her asap brother, she'll treat you better if you know her first name

Now I get it, Lorenzo must have been saying the wrong name at a bad moment and hence she got pissed and threw him off!

So what do you ride mate? Probably something way straighter than an R6, right? Like a Hayabusa? Maybe a Harley? "But it's pretty trick. It's actually got a lot of parts that the factory team uses, that's what the dealer told me." Go .... off until you contribute something worthwhile, squid.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dazza @ Jul 30 2008, 05:51 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Nice wheels mate, how much did you pay for Her?
Thanks Daz, right around $5k.

Thanks Teo. I better come up with something fast because I don't want anything to do with the types of crashes Jorge's been enduring lately.

Using the grown-up words like a big boy, congratulations. I could care less what your opinions are, I don't think there's anyone who would value your thoughts. The question was, what do you ride?
