It's just alittle 600, it's all I need...With the way gas prices are going up, they are saying $4 a gallon by August, the bike will pay for itself.

Eh, they aren't that great on gas. I usually get 120 miles to a tank on my 1k. Depends how you ride them though.

Nice bike, that's my fav. color scheme for the 600. Besides the white/silver/black for '06.

Nice price too, how many miles on it?

I knew I couldn't afford a vette this year because of my medical bills, but I needed something. I might just hold out and wait for the 09 Camaro...Unless I found a killer deal on a Z06

This will be my 3rd street bike. I've owned 5 dirtbikes. I don't have my license cause I always rode on a permit, but I plan on taking the riding course this year to be all legit.

Sign up for a course a.s.a.p. cause come spring, they get real crowded and backed up. Good luck w/it, and don't ruin your new dental work! WJ

1989 Kawasaki Eliminator 250 (starter bike)
2001 Kawasaki Ninja 250

I'm a short guy, so riding a big bike isn't an option unless i stretch it and lower it, I'll be lowering this 600 and it still might be to big
