Blue, but i just found out today that my position at my job has been replaced with someone without a school schedule to work around, so ive been kicked from 11 bucks an our to 8. And that just wont cut it for an '04 bike.

Back to searching i guess.

The zx-10 is a nice bike. That sucks about you job. I'm sure you can find something you like in your price range.

Is there a kit to mount the tag like that or did you make something. I have seen some you can buy that go under the tail but I don't think it is the same thing you have. I wonder if I can do that with how the exhaust is.

Yeah, your right. I found a '01 Yamaha YZF600. Is this an R6, or are they two completely different things? You all know im new to bikes, so i wouldnt know from looking at it. But its only 3500 and thats right in my price range, so if it has potential, then im all for it.

No its a different bike. My first bike was a 00 yzf600. The r6 has 2 seats that one has 1 big seat. I think its a good starter bike. If you want to do stunts it might not be a good bike. I never got the front tire off the ground. I wasn't trying to but it does not have the power to do it. How many miles does it have. That doesn't sound like a bad price either.

7200 miles, garage kept, D&D slip-on (whatever that is), after market shield & matching HJC Helmet (which i already have).

Even though its a good starter bike, will i be wanting a new one in a year because that one is too weak? Id like my first purchase to be something ill be content with for the next 3 years. I cant forsee having the money to get another bike until then, so id like to have something that has some power to start with even if i a noob. This way i dont feel compelled to have to get another bike. So that being the case, do you still think i should look at getting it, or should i wait a little longer and see what else i can find?
