Just can't stay off the bike!! I've owned her for less than 1 week, but riding every day so far - at least a few miles.

Here's a picture from this weekend.

Well said Tahoe!!

In this case...she's NOT my wife. A good friend who says she'd like to get on a bike of her own some day.

Personal note: I'm not married...which is good & bad. My father said (he's a wise man) "I know what you're doing...you're getting a bike BEFORE you get married aren't you? That way, she can't say no!"

Indeed!!

I know exactly how you feel man...I search for reasons to go riding sometimes, especially if the weather isnt so great

i'm sure you already know from your Z06, but watch out for those freshly wet roads!

Absolutely!! Wet + new tires = CAUTION!!! The transfer of how I drive the Z06 & the RR is about exactly the same. Both have enormous power. Both have high performance tires. Both can bite ya in a heartbeat if you over-drive the conditions.

A rainstorm came up (obvious from the picture) & I just parked it under a canopy & we waited it out. Didn't even get a drop on the RR. I waited till the roads dried off before I rode on home. You know. One of those anal new owners who doesn't want to get his new bike in the rain stuff....

Yeah, these machines possess your body, soul, and mind. All I can ever think about, besides sex and food, is my RR. I look for any excuse to ride it and dote on it like a newborn enfant.

Now, if you really want to feed your obsession..get a Hamaguchi Ti full exhaust system and Power Commander.

I hear ya, I haven't rode mine in the rain yet, tryin' to hold out as long as possible before I ride in the rain. I know it will happen eventually, it always does, I commute to work. But after the first time its all down hill from there. I just hate the fact that the bike gets so dirty.

I've had mine for a month now, and she is broken in nyce. I've got the suspension the way I want it, all I need now is my exhaust. I'm gonna have to save up for that though. I should have my fender eliminator on by early May.

WOW 3 Fun things to ride. Just playin brotha I cant get off my bike eaither. If i could i might even out it in the bed with me but that would go over like a fart in church. Ride safe and enjoy its gettin nice oout now. As for ridin in the rain I got caught the other day with my pants down. It was out sunny one sec so i took the bike out and then my pop called me and told me it was pooring in a place that was pretty close. Yup and there it was so i finished my lunch because thats what i was doin while i was watchin my baby get poored on. Got home (thank god i lived arounf the corner) and used the leaf blower to get alkl the warter off the bike and shammied it worked well. Then 10 min later it got sunny again go figure.

I got mine in January......2006 Black 600rr......and it is the most incredible machine I have ever ridden including float planes in Alaska and helicopters in Vietnam. It is my adrenaline fix even when rolling slowly out of the driveway in the morning..... I am excrutiatingly careful with it out of some weird belief that it is an honor to drive such a machine. My first experience with its incredible acceleration....going from 35 back up to 65 on the highway....it almost got away from me....the acceleration was so smooth and so extreme, I was caught a little off guard. Be careful!! Wear all the best gear! Congrats! The red and black is really good looking.

I agree with everyone. Last year I Bought my bike in cash $10,523.71. after taxes. I felt like I paid too much for it. I took the class then got my license and started riding. I hated it at first cause I couldn't keep up with the GSXR 600, 750, or 1000. But I took my time to learn my bike and what she is made of. I put 4852 miles on my bike the first season. The dumbest mistake ever was to put it in storage. but I did put a micron slip-on and a power commander and a fender eliminator kit. The bike is very fun to ride and powerful if you give a chance to get to know her. But like any woman in the world, if you disrespect her, she will try to hurt you!

Wear your gear, get to know your bike, and leave it stock. Learn how to brake and to turn!!!! Frame sliders and a dampner are good but after that leave it alone. Just the way it is it will handle, stop, and accelerate very well. After you change the oil 4-5 times and you and your bike are "broken in" then look to mod it. Even then if I was you I'd change very little on it. Things for comfort and control first.
Be safe homey.
