well, After a few years since selling my 2005 Yamaha R6, I finally decided to get back into the bike world. I picked this up a few days ago.

Sorry for not posting the photo directly to the forum, I'm on my ipad :-)

Nice! Incidentally a 2005 era R6 (blue of course) is like my dream bike. I've wanted one for years.

blue 2005 r6 was the old bike. It was fun, and i really missed it. This is a ton of fun so far, just have to get back into being 100 % confortable again, as its been about 4 years since I've dont any time riding.

according to your ride list you no longer have the neon?

turbo99jetta · Postby **turbo99jetta** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:14

Nope. Sold a while ago. Put on Craigslist and it was gone in a matter of min. Needed something with better gas milage, didn't see bike in future.

its has been. I really haven't been on any forms for quite a while. I was tired of all the drama. It should be fun and should be about people enjoying the things they have and can agree on, not a bunch of little high school clicks and fights.

Can't see the pic but I got the 2011 gsxr 600. I'll post the pic when I get home. But I love the electronic damper they have. I don't have to set anything and its usually spot on.

just saw the pic... whyd you have to get a white one!? lol

turbo99jetta · Postby **turbo99jetta** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:14

Haha. I was really not sure which way I would go. I liked the blue but I've always wanted a white bike.

iani1.1 · Postby **iani1.1** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:14

i had the choice of the blue too but i liked the white better. should of waited though they had the yoshimura edition a couple weeks later.

already past the break in and got the PCV, traction control, akrapovic headers and bmc filter. makes huge difference in throttle response. ill ride like a mad man once in a while and still get 40-45 mpg lol. i have yet to track it though.

but off the line stock is still pretty fun. pretty light and small which is good but bad when its windy.
