Do yourself a huge favor Neebs...Just scrape up the coin and buy a new CBR600...I would go for the antilock brake model. It will do everything you ask of it, last you a lifetime, and probably still be worth something when you decide to upgrade again.

Find you a used 07 or new o8 and be done wit it!

That'd be great.. .if I liked the CBR600.

Seriously, it's too tiny and cramped for me. I'm just not a fan of it. Pretty bikes, but not my thing.

It's not Chris holding me back; it's just finding what I want! Like I said, we've got a couple good contenders to look at this weekend.... might have something as early as Sunday (of course, since I'll be in training all next week, and therefore not online, you might have to wait a week for me to post up about it )

My next bike will be either the Speed Triple or the Duc Hyper. Probly Hyper. But...thats a few years down the road.



Good luck with the search.
