I first time I saw the new GSXR bikes, I LOVED the tail section.

But now, I'm kinda not liking it.  Too flat???  Maybe too wide??   :dunno_white:

But the important thing is that SHE likes it.

Sweet bike.  That's the 600 right?  I finally sat on one in the dealership and was surprised how much more 'upright' I felt.  I thought I would be more hunched over.  That, and I could actually put both balls of my feet on the ground :)

Definitely on my wish list.

Hawt, Hawt, Hawt!!! The only thing that doesn't float my boat is the blue wheels. I'd like them black, but I don't think I've come across anyone else yet who doesn't love the blue wheels, so that just proves I'm a phreak!

I want an expensive pair of pants like that!  :bowdown: :bowdown: :laugh:

BTW, just curious, how tall is your wife?

You are a very lucky man.  Can't you talk her into taking your GS from you and you ride the Gixxer?

Wife's about 5' 6" or so. .About 105 t0 110 lbs.,  maybe a little shorter. Only thing I know for sure is that I'm 5'10" and that she is shorter than I am.   Bike is not that wide. 
Jake D I convinced her that sense it was in the break in period, and it you have to keep it under 7k RPM.   That I would be willing to help break it in.  I told her that  I didn't wan't her to have a soreback or anything from riding too much. :icon_mrgreen:

She just  :laugh: at me.  But I did ride it to work today!  :thumb:  She followed me to work in the Pac just to make sure I was ok.  ( I think she worries to much ).

After work she's going to ride here on the GS then we are going for a quick ride before we head home.  I'll be on the GS for that ride.

That's a nice bike for sure. It came down to that and the 600RR for me before going with the Honda, but the things I liked about it were the lowest seat height out of the 600s (almost a full in shorter) and the ergonomics.

The 600 in blue/white only comes with blue wheels. All of the other 600 schemes and all 750 schemes come in black.

Is she a more experienced rider than you? 

I just wish I could get my girlfriend to ride (who is also asian, BTW). 

Blue wheel rock and so do wide flat tail sections.

Isn't kinda weird riding with your wife when she's on a gsxr and your on a gs500?

Wow, first thing I thought, DAMN nice bike. (Immediately followed by my standard 600 ss backlash reaction)

But BTW your wifey is rather pretty herself. Compliments to her.

Not really weird, her riding the gsxr and I'm riding the gs.  We are both haveing a good time riding together :thumb:.  Funny thing is that she gets alot of looks from both men and women when we pull into a station  to fill up  :laugh:
