Well you’re not officially the envy of every other 600cc SS owner. :rofl

Congrats! Awesome bikes, I just found it awkward how the seating position puts you right over the forks.

I’m sure you won’t do the bike wrong and the rear sets and pass pegs will be color matched/black soon.

Would you rather have a 600 for nearly 12G’s?

Are you going with the frame color or black? It might be too much to have blue rear sets. Pass pegs come right off if you’re not planning on riding 2 up.

The 675r is 12,900. Noone would pay that price for a new GSXR. Be retarded. Could buy a 2010 for 8k.

Suzuki can paint anything Blue/white and slap a GSXR sticker and make it sell like hot cakes.

I think new RR’s are up there as well. Isn’t just about every 2012 SS over 10K retail?

Great choice!!

I love the look of the 675. And its probably nice owning a bike that you don’t see much.

probably just go black, the blue frame looks sick but i think the pegs would be overboard. i ride with my girlfriend about half the time so i gotta keep the pass pegs

Glad to see you’re planning black.

If you’d like, there is another member here with a red 675 that powder coated rear sets and pass pegs on here. I’ll see if he will chime in and maybe post picks.
