Title: Drooling on new bikes...
Post by: jen_ on September 09, 2006, 08:39:31 PM
Drooled on a bunch of new bikes today...

Most significant drool left on this Ducati monster, and this Yammy R6s.

So why didn't you look at the brand new R6?  That's the newly styled/designed model for 2006

Cause they didn't have any.  And I find the new r6 fairings a little odd.

Those yellow R1's are beautiful too.  I just try to keep telling myself that's too much bike. :cookoo:

Indeed jen_, the 06-07 R6 styling is just totaly bizarre to me, too.  I just don't like it.  The 05 R6 styling (now the R6S) is just fantastic.

I had to stop by the deale today to pick up some stuff that I ordered, they had the WHITE speed triple and a red 675.  Just had to sit on them, then the sales man was looking at me.  " Your not getting another bike are you?!?" :laugh:


The red / white R6 is beautiful.  Not a fan of the colors released in the states.

I really want a new bike, but I'm not sure if I'm ready or not. I'm not sure if I should get something like a sv650s or just go for a gsxr 600. The sv is nice because of cheaper insurance, better mpg, cheaper overall. But the gsxr has more power, and is more of what I really want. I was also considering the sv1000 but it's price is soo close to a gsxr. The one thing that is turning me away from a gsxr though is the mpg...
