I got a new toy...

So, I had an 08 R6 a few months ago and totaled it. I've been all sad the past few months until yesterday...I was tired of the evo not running and had to get my fix, so it was time. My buddy works at Cowboy Honda, and got me straight to the bottom line price on this used bike, so I got it, and I LOVE it.



NEW:





OLD BIKE:







Let me know what you think...

I wish I knew how to ride...at the same time I'm scared I'd kill myself a little too soon. How do the bikes compare?

It's incredible. My dream bike, I love it. It's still scary, I won't full throttle it. Yet.

I always thought that until I got one...and yea I've definitely almost died but it's been worth it. Most fun I've ever had (besides the evo). I feel like I could maneuver the R6 easier, the R1 is a little bigger, and a lot more powerful. Still very fun. Very similar.

Thanks guys, here's what happened when I totaled the R6 with no jacket (dumb):

you always have to have the safety gear. even when its 90 F. I recommend the safety course to any new rider. just some advise.

its cool. I know from stunting and carving them corners. The asphalt dont forgive. Sorry to hear about your uncle. Thats never a good story to hear. People need to watch out for bikes.

I had war wounds just like that on my hip and arm. I was wearing just a hoodie and jeans. Glad to hear you're ok!
