You can't handle that bike anyways... its too big for a girl. :flipoff:
Ha! Rarely anything men think is too "big" for a woman to handle actually an issue :laugh: Don't worry Jen...I'll just ban him from the chatroom :icon_twisted:
Congrats Jen!
Welcome to the 600 club?
:laugh:
so how does one do a nice fender eliminator on that bike without losing the tail light?

I am above jealousy. It's one of the sins I can avoid.

umm.. wrong bike dude
Wow, gorgeous bike! Probably the best of the '07 600's. Play safe and enjoy!
Congrats man, she's beautiful!
So after my first day on the CBR... DAMN.
Rode about 200 miles on Sunday. Some in town, some freeway, some tame-ish canyons. Still tring to figure out how to ride it. Haven't gotten over 9000 rpm, and the redline is at 15k.
Almost dumped it first thing in the morning in a sandy cold driveway. Doh!
Getting off the bike I feel like an old woman...much more agressive riding position than the GS. Obviously.
I love the sound of the I4. I love how when you roll on the throttle she just leaps ahead.
I love how everone gathers around my bike to look at it and point and talk about it. Why didn't that happen with the GS?
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.
all the honda dealers around me sell sell them for MSRP, which is $9499.00. Now they almost never have anything in stock, hello spring :laugh:.
That is a very pretty bike, i want to upgrade soooooooooooooooo bad...
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 :)....
H#nda? :o :nono:
Unforgivable!

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.
:)

yea I think Mission Motorsports and LA Cycle were wanting like 12-13k OTD... ridiculous.
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:
