Wanna see what I just bought? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

CManT1914 · 02-12-2006, 09:07 PM

03 GSX-R600, 7,700 miles on it, never laid down (tipped over in the driveway, but not on the street), only mod is a slip-on can (the stock muffler was dented from the fall), guy says he never raced it but a couple times, brand new rear tire, and it's only got a few scratches on it. (Can you find them? They're on the right side of the bike!) I bought it on eBay, and the cool thing is, it's only in the next town over, which is 15 minutes away. I'm gonna go pick it up wednesday. But I'm gonna trailer it home, and I'm not planning on riding it until after my MSF course this weekend. I'm kinda scared about getting on it for the first time. I've heard how sensitive the throttle and brakes are. Oh well, live and learn! I have more pics if you guys want them!

I think I got a decent deal on it. I'm paying $4562 for it, so I don't think it's too bad. Most others I saw were closer to 5k or a little over.

Nice, thats what i want waaay down the road. Nothing like that for a long time. Gotta master this bike first which will take a good amount of time.

CManT1914 · 02-13-2006, 08:38 PM

Here's a couple more pics.

tlwisner · 02-13-2006, 08:44 PM

Looks very nice, congrats on the new toy! The blue windscreen is very cool.

BigD · 02-13-2006, 09:40 PM

Nice.

That bike would look really good with the wheels powdercoated black.

QuacktheDuck · 02-13-2006, 09:55 PM

I didn't like the white wheels at first, but they really are growing on me. I think they look kinda cool matching the body. Then again, I saw a red R6 going down the highway with black wheels, GAWD it was sexy! lol

Thanks for the compliments guys! I was half expecting a lecture from some of you, lol.

MagnumForce · 02-13-2006, 10:08 PM

The important question here is how does it ride? You gotta give us a review as soon as you can ride it (after the MSF course, of course).

jackM50black · 02-13-2006, 10:22 PM

Cool bike.... but what is this I see? Oil spots on the driveway? What's leaking the oil?

lol, yea I'm not planning on riding it until next week. But I'll definitely let you know how I like it, if I'm not splattered on the highway.

lol, hell if I know. Those pics are at the guy's house I bought it from. Could be his Mustang I suppose!

GIXXER-Mike · 02-13-2006, 10:55 PM

Don't think I would keep that glossy stuff on the tire sidewalls when I ride! Very nice bike!!!

Duuude · 02-14-2006, 11:14 AM

Sweet ride, man. Dang... You have a bunch of sweet rides... Didn't you just get a GZ250?
