Default DIESO got a scooter...

I even paid extra for the glitter streamers, nothings says "I'm a badass" like sparkles.

Big thanks to Don for getting the slippery **** off the tires.

Don had a pink helmet picked out for me, how thoughtful huh

Marco, I've been up to 70 on the bike, I have to break it in and I wasn't too rushed to be another one of "those" guys who wipes out within the first few hours. I'm more worried about being embarassed then hurting myself.

Massls1guy - I sat on one of the Busa's at the dealer ship and they dont seem like they would fit a taller guy much better than my bike. They just seem longer, heavier and a hair wider but not taller, I can still flat foot the ground easily and I am 6'0 - 6'1. Suzuki does sell one thats taller but you need to sit on them for yourself.

Edit - I just read that you already own one ahahah, what are the odds of that.

I'll tell ta this, the 600 feels exactly the same size as my 1000. It's not any smaller in comfort.

Poor Dieso, I poped the cherry of his bike and put the first 6-7 miles on it

Joe take it easy with it, get used to it. I've been riding bikes for 15 years so I can act like a retard on them

Yeah the 600 and 1000 have the same exact seat height, wish I knew that before I bought my bike

Awesome Joe, It looked nice from where I saw it in the garage today. Good color scheme. I know you have been looking into them for a while now. Cool to see that you chose brand new too. Good luck with it and ride safe! Maybe we'll get a crew for some rides this summer....? Park the cars get the bikes out for a cruise!!

All this talk about everyone buying bikes. I want one too.


Did you get it financed, if so- through the dealer or through a bank? Are they bargaining on msrp price or do you just pay said amount?
