You kill me, dude. You'll drop nine grand (after taxes and fees it'll be damn near $9,000) on a new bike and you won't spend a few hundred dollars on a decent helmet?! Your priorities are skewed my friend.
It's a nice bike for sure though.

Re: Thinking about getting a bike...
Why not buy a one or two year old used bike if you're on a budget? You'll have money to spare and could purchase some nice gear. If you finance through someone like Navy Federal you could even finance your gear in the price of your bike.
My buddy bought an '03 R6 (same model if I'm not mistaken) for $5k not too long ago. It had like 4k miles on it and is in perfect condition.
As for used helmets, I don't know. I've always been leary on them. Do you really trust your head in something that someone else owned?
