Hows it goin, I think I've found my destiny here. For real though, It's nice to come by a place like this. I just got into my first bike Tuesday. I'm in Michigan, I drove to Cincinnati to pick it up (8hr drive that sucked balls!)
Anyhow....I got an 06 R6 with 2,869 miles on it. The bike was laid down the day before I was coming to pick it up which made me nearly cry! But he knocked $700 off the price tag and gave me a free jacket which is okay, but it works for a first. I ended up paying $5300 for the bike. It's a 50th anniversary edition as you can see in the pics. I wasn't too sure I'd like the classic yellow scheme but it's def. different and I fall more in love each day.
Check out the pics fellas......
Also, not to sound like a complete turd but theres an odd noise somewhere that is coming from somewhere when I roll the throttle. It almost sounds like a "rattle" or a dry chain but it's not the chain as it will make the same noise in neutral and just rolling the throttle.
I'm expecting to drop $400-$600 in parts before a new pipe to fix all the scratches.
Is there a company any of you guys swear by and has real nice prices?
PS. the pics were too large to upload on here so I linked them to photobucket.....check em out and let me know what ya guys think! It's nice to be here!
