| Most exhausts for that bike are 4-into-1. They flow better than stock but are louder. Once you have been riding for awhile longer, you can put on a full system (still single exhaust) and get the FI remapped. I recommend you don't mess with it till you've had the bike a bit longer in case you dump it etc... it would really suck to scrape up a brand new exhaust system.

| Looking into aftermarket pipes already are ya. Peronsally, I like Yoshimura and M4. The M4's sport mounts are pretty cool. http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/...t=000_0211.jpg |

| You're a new rider on a GSXR600 who can't wait to 'open her up' after only three days experience. Say "Hi" to Jesus for me when you see him. When I was a new rider, we all started out on 80~100cc bikes. The sheer power of a 175 really blew our minds. I've never owned a standard motorcycle bigger than a 500cc in the 37+ years I've been riding. My current bike is a 650, but it's a scooter. I'm not saying I wouldn't like to have a bigger bike. If I hadn't gotten the Burgman, my second choice was a Yamaha FJR1300. The point is, the big scooter will do practically everything (and everything more practically) that the super-sport tourer will do, and won't hurt me as bad if I stumble (not that I spend much time thinking about that). I've crashed - lots of times, and at speeds well over the limit, but I've never had a bad day on a motorcycle (or scooter). If you manage to live for three years, come see me and we'll ride some twisties. I guarantee that I'll leave you wondering how I got away. |

| Yeah, that bike's gonna look great once you lay it down... It's also gonna look great when you're flying by cagers on the freeway *if* you're an irresponsible rider... It's gonna look great in the impound lot *if* the cops catch you for wreckless riding... Be responsible on that thing... You're a new rider, so know your limitations and don't let the power under your legs interfere with your brain when it's screaming at you to "Slow down!..." Please be safe!

| I also got a GSX-r600 for my first bike a week ago. I have put on it just over 300 km/h but I am yet to go over 7000rpm. I'm taking it easy and enjoying the ride. One bad mistake can ruin the whole experience, why chance it. I have no plans to mod mine, It's much faster than I can handle. Take your time and enjoy your new toy. Veteq |

| Seat Tester | I get the feeling that they aren't being totally serious... or perhaps he did get the 'busa and the "stupid squid" link below was pictures of it 3 hours later?
