Unlike the low rumble the GS produces, the CBR Does sound amazingly sexy... I'm not saying the GS sounds bad or anything, but when you're at a light with a friend on a CBR it spawns serious jealousy :)....

that's a beautiful bike, I've been waiting for them to come widely available.  Do you mind if I ask what they're selling for?  The local dealer doesn't have any and if they did I'm sure they'd be waaay over MSRP.

Depends where you are really.  I paid MSRP plus tax.  I heard people are paying $14,000 for them in California. Which seems crazy, but the market will support that to some extent there, it being a new bike, and Spring time.

To each their own.  I don't think I got a deal, but I don't think I paid too much either.  Plus the dealer is close (as in I don't have to drive an hour to Denver) and they seem pretty nice there.  I'm sure I could have waited a few months for the price to go down, but if I always behaved pratically, I wouldn't be buying a sportbike, would I?

Sound--
I didn't mind the sound of the GS, in that I didn't notice it.  The CBR--wow.  Especially as the revs go up.  Like watching a race, but I'm riding it.

To think I thought a 600 wouldn't be "enough"--how dumb was I?

Hubby gets the GS.  Guess I should peel the "batgirl" off the windscreen...

I know what you mean about the sound.

My R6 with it's Micron exhaust seriously sounds like a jet engine.  I LOVE it.

Hipocracy.... becoming more acceptable with the more power you think you have.

Holy crap that is retarded.  The dealer is making mad bank off the sales if they are selling them that much over the MSRP.  Soemthing about that seems a little shady, glad i'm in VA and not CA in that aspect :laugh: :laugh:
