I'm getting the R6 (UPDATE) WOOT!

[porsche4786]

I agree with what Pablo said about it being exactly like the first time you rode his GS.  Except now you know how to ride a motorcycle and you'll find yourself testing the limits of the bike right away.  See what she is made of.

Like this, "I'll get into the power band a little. . .Ooooo yeah.  I like that baby.  Oooo yeah, the brakes.  Squeeze it for me baby. . . yeahhh. . .  oooo second gear. . . so fast baby. . . faster. . . yeah. . . faster. . . nice shift.   You like that?  Your so powerful baby, yeah!"

That is pretty much what it will be like.

The R6 is a superb bike and they're always "cutting edge".  In this day and age the way it works is:

Yamaha plops out the most technologically advance street bike ever, this year.

Honda comes along makes that tech more appropriate for track duty, next year.

Suzuki comes along makes that tech more powerful and faster, the nexx year.

Kawasaki comes along, spends three years scratching it's head, then makes it look more badass, or completely hideous, depending entirely upon propper alignment of the planets and stars, and replaces 2nd gear with rubber bands.

This almost made my drink go out my nose.   How true it is though.

by the way An, keep in mind that all the 600's have 'nothing' down low in the revs (not true relative the gs though) but the R6 is the worst in that regard, having ALL the power up at the very top of the rev range and very little poke down low. definitely a bike made for the track.

So it's kinda like the GS then...  I should do fine.

i call dibs on the engine jk 

[blue05twin]

We're already takeing dibs on the R6?

Hey An you'll be fine.

Oh, I meant the '01 ZX10.  Sorry.  It is pretty much considered the baddest mo fo on the block so far.

The 2005 ZX10 was the baddest mofo that still used the same tech the others used in 2002.  It was also down on power, bigger, heaver, and thousands more expensive than the 2005 GSXR 1000...the GSXR1000 having been Suzuki's refinement of the '04 YZF-R1.

I'll tell you one thing the 10R had the others beat on; Orange.  None of the others do it the same.

I just called to go get the bike, but he told me that he forgot to mention that he doesn't have the title yet because of his loan.

I told him that the bike is 100% SOLD if he could get the title.  He talked to him mom, and she loaned him the $3000 to pay off the loan.  He's putting the check in the mail tomorrow, and as soon as he gets the title, I get my new bike.

Kinda ticks me off, but there's nothing I can do.  The result is better than what happened to a fellow GS'er a couple months back.

[makenzie71]

Could be worse...I'd hand over half and go pick the bike up now.  Pay the rest upon reciept of the title.

[annguyen1981]

I wanted to, but I can't register and/or insure the bike without it here in MA.
So pretty much, it would be sitting taking up space in my driveway, where asshats walk by and one day be tempted to "walk" off with a brand new bike for a cheap price (free).

UPDATE:

I got a message on my cell today.  The seller wanted to give me an update.

He crashed the R6.







































j/k

He told me that he called the bank and they told him that they sent the title out the day they received the check.  He says that was either Wed or Thurs of last week, so hopefully he will have the title in hand by the end of the week.

WOOT!!!

[Egaeus]

I wouldn't have been mad (if the crash story was true).  I would have laughed at him and found another bike.

Same here, but there aren't any suitable smileys for that kind of situation.

Exciting.  I was hoping this was a "I brought my R6 home today!" thread.

Tease.

Get your camera ready, because after all this suspense--you'd better have pictures!

Ass.     I wish it were a "brought home the R6 thread"...  Maybe before the weekend if I'm lucky.
[although, I've never been lucky with a girl, sooooo what makes me think I'll get luck on this...]
