Just ordered an Alpinestars Rhoma Drystar Jacket to match the bike, kept the helmet from my blue R6, dont know about boots yet....just blew all the money on the R1...so boots may have to wait.

Holy crap your acctually wearing a helmet. Around here it seems like everyone that drives a rocket has shorts, tank top, backwards hat, and flip flops on.

Nice bike. I love the R6/R1s

I dont think I have ever rode w/o a helmet...less fatigue, less bugs in the face, no rocks, acts as sunglasses, I never leave w/o it. Plus if/when you get in a bike accident, its your only chance of surviving if its a serious accident. Thanks for the compliments guys!

Get yourself a battery tender...for $30 they do wonders why the bike is in storage. When you get it out in the spring it starts right up as if you parked it yesturday.

Did you say CBR750RR......

you know that they don't make a 750rr right....and that your bike is a 600rr.

What is done to the bike....i assume nothing considering you have stock exhaust.

Nice ride though....My toy is a 2005 CBR1000RR Repsol Edition. Gotta love Honda

Very nice bike. I like the lines on the R6 better though.

I am partial to Honda though.

The new Ducati 1098 is very nice looking. I love the new Triumph 675 Daytona too. Best middleweight streetbike on the road in my opinion. It did fairly well at Daytona this year....considering that they were privateer bikes.
