And when you say the 2nd weekend in June, is that the 14th or somewhere in that area? And do you know the duration of the class itself?

 

correction, my friend has a gsxr 750, but i think its from 97 or 98 and from what i hear the newer 600s have the same power as the older 750. how much are you paying for the bike nighthawk, and what yr/model is it? my friend only spent 3500 total

 

The class is Friday 7-10PM, Saturday and Sunday 8AM-6PM, and when I checked yesterday the next opening was the weekend of June 13-15. I have the flyer for it and can email it to you if ya want.

 

Yeah, please send that to me.

thanks man.

 

It would be a 2003 gsx-r600, and around 6500.
MRSP runs about 7995.
Casey Cycle City wanted 8100.

How did he get such a cheap price?

 

no clue, but when he bought it it barely had over 10k miles and ran great, never laid down, etc, even came with a yoshimura racing exhaust and a direct ram air front faring thing (i think thats what its called)

 

a busa is a very scary bike. i'm not speaking from personal experience, but a good friend of mine is all about bikes and he tells me that a busa will lift almost uncontrollably when it hits its powerband (around 6000 rpm). i've also seen an experienced rider put a busa 20 ft. in the air at the light in dinwiddie. it was crazy- all i saw was the guy get thrown off as the bike went straight up in the air, and it ended up almost at the 1/8 mile mark. the bike will literally try to take off from under you.

with the huge competition going on right now between manufacturers for the 600 class, you likely won't be disappointed with a 600. personally i may never go beyond a 600... but that's mostly because i don't intend on doing nothing but going fast in a straight line. i also plan to buy a yamaha r6.

 

the gsxr 600's are nice but the 03 zx6 (636) is badass!! there isnt a 600 that will touch it (stock). i also wouldnt recomend buying anything bigger than a 600 to start with. it would also be a good idea to find a slightly used bike...maybe a '00 or '01 model. but like someone mentioned earlier, with all the compition between the manufacters, it really wont make much difference which one you get (as long as its not a katana). as far as insurance goes, you can get liability only and save a ton of money....just dont wreck!! i pay about $70/month with a shitty driving record.(from progressive). good luck with the bike.

 

Yamaha R1. If you get any bike, get one of those.

 

you got the hook up for that kind of price or can you let me in on where youre getting such an awesome deal, cuz I'm in the market for another bike lookin at the gixxer this time. PM me if you can...thanks
