Default My new toy

Bought a 06 gsxr 750 a few weeks ago. It has been a blast to drive the last 2100 miles. It is my first bike and learning on it. It seems to have plenty of power, lol. 10.4's in the 1/4 is what the magazines say, im going to have to verify.

I need to get the frame sliders, exhaust, and a tinted windscreen.

Very nice! I drove a Gixer 750 and holy hell, that scared the **** out of me. Then again, it was only my second time to ever be on something with two wheels. haha

Not quite my style Jason but it does have two wheels. Congrads on your first bike! If you ever get down to the Valley I can take you on some great mountain roads!

Seriously, it can be very dangerous. I have been hit by cars and hospitalized twice, once had my leg surgically replaced and didn't walk for 18 months.
There is a quote. " there are two types of bikers, those that have been down, and those that will go down". It's enevitable if you ride often.
I've been down quite a few times, usually i get right back up

thats a sweet bike and perfect for a first bike IMO. Not power like a 1000 so its a little more managable but i think if you would have gotten a 600 you would be looking for more power after a while

Love the colors, always was a gixxer fan

Very nice, a friend of mine as the same size bike but painted all pearl white. He said it's freakin' fast and his best friend as a 1000cc GXR and he said they are..... oh sooo close when they race.

I'am scared of those things they are way to scary and everyone always tells me.......once you loose the fear of riding those bikes it's when the end begins. Have fun and take it easy.
