So I bought this…2007 GSX-R600 Yea call me crazy I dont care but I pick it up Wednesday Got some good advice from a few people and I feel this was a good choice. I bought brand new for a few reasons…warranties are nice and other similar bikes I was looking at were going for not too much less than what I picked this up for…also Don George’s gets me into the MSF class almost immediately ![http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/ckilger12/GSXR600K7_aBlueWhite_0041a3.jpg](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/ckilger12/GSXR600K7_aBlueWhite_0041a3.jpg) ---

i would have spent 2500-4000 on what i assume is your first bike and still gotten somethign really nice for a lot of reasons…but if you can swing it, al the power to you, its sexy as hell :tup: ---

i was going to do that but at the same time a used sport bike can have many issues…I can def swing it so I wasnt worried…the amount I put down keep the payments quite low ---

nice ride man. be safe and the best of luck. I don’t think starting with a 600 is too much for someone who begins conservatively. I’m sure you’ll do fine. Although I do recommend full coverage if it’s not outrageous. the worst thing besides getting hurt is paying monthly on a pile of parts. and I think everyone will agree, please wear protective gear besides a helmet: boots, gloves, and a jacket at least… the best times of my life are on a bike. wish I still had one ☹ ---

actually my friend does want a 1000 i will let him know…i talked to Mike, and as far as gear, got the jacket, helmet and gloves already…and from what the sales guys told me of course this could be all sales BS was that the GSXR handles nice and with the 600 its actually a nice starter bike…so I am excited to pick it up and start riding… ---
