'05 cbr600rr

[boomer]

Well, i couldn't resist no longer;

After meeting Patrick at AMPS on there open day, i said i was keen to have a test run on there 600rr; Unfortunately she'd been in a stoppie; But as soon as it was repaired he'd give me a call. Well Monday i got the call and today at 1 i was out on her like a good thing;

Back 20 mins later, sorted out a trade in for the beautiful '99 cbr6f ( and boy a good trade in too ) ...sorted out the finance and arranged to call back at 5 tonite; After being given the demo for the avo while they did the service check on the f4.

So back at 5:30 to pick her up and with 3.5k's on her, a grin from ear to ear on me we hit the road home, the wrong/Long way! :banana:

Well i'm one happy boy, and i have to give it to AMPS/Patrick for making my compulsive buy so easy and enjoyable!

Heres to a long relationship with my new baby(yet to be named)

Say...That's a nice bike.

[enigma51]

Now I have to look at a filthy honda every morning when I come to work

You will love it!

[gav]

Quite cheap too, arent they, $15995, pretty good. Did the tattoo colour scheme make it to New Zealand?

i'm told only the states have the tattoo, it is a sexy bike with the ponga leaves

[Waylander]

If that is the one I think it is you're gonna upset Ms.Pillion. She had a sit on it the other day and loved it.

[enigma51]

At least you did not buy a kwaka

[The_Dover]

Pah, shoulda got a gixxer........

[enigma51]

Give the man a brake he is a bit of a newbie gsxr is to much too handle

[boomer]

I did have a quick look at the gixxers, then i started to think about the 636's.... it all became too confusing and after i read the article posted on here comparing the '05 rr, gixxer, r6 and 636 I didn't know what to do. there opinion was the RR was better 'all round'.. who knows

I figured i'd fell in love a few months back with the RR i had to see it through.

Plus dover and you Enigma... those Gixxers of yours dont stay sunny side up for too long do they..what sort of an advertisment is that???? i can see it now

Suzi's.....GO FAST Flat on your back

I took this young girl for a ride and fell in love with her fat 'ass'

Total rip-off of the '04 R6 scheme if you ask me...'bout time too, why should you be limited in choice of looks for the bike that suits you...pity we still are in this country though.

[boomer]

Enigma - I reckon :)

Rob wants to meet up for some rally going on, saturday mt wellington across the bridge and back to big boys toys... might you be up for a bit of that?

I never had the training you SA boyz had... no elephants and tigers to chase me across the paddock on a saturday morning.

I always wondered why you guys constantly looked :buggerd: ... they caught up with you didn't they???

[enigma51]

should you not be in bed?

[avgas]

Oh dammit i did it again........now where is that towel....
nice bike there mate

[juzzer]

Top effort fella, good to see another upright hooonda... :blip:

[WRT]

Nice bike mate, thats a beauty. I prefer that to the tattoo scheme anyway, so good choice.

............

I did the same exercise comparing the three and came to the same conclusion before I bought mine :-)

Sexy bikes, aren't they? :doobey:

[notme]

Yeah? Does she want a different pillion seat for a bit on our next ride then WL? :blip:

[Waylander]

Lucky for me she doesn't like sitting on the back of sport bikes. Something to do with the cramped sitting posture, but you could ask her. Maybe then I'de have a chance to keep up with you.

Maybe..... :ride:

Heheh sitting in the pilot's seat of sportbikes isn't exactly luxury on yer butt either! Sitting on your bike or Slash's feels like a big comfy lazyboy to me....

See ya next weekend and if nothing else Ange is welcome to have a sit on the CBR and make "Brrrmr brrrrm' noises :doobey:


EDIT: Sorry for the hijack Boomer! This thread's supposed to be about your (velly velly nice) new toy! :whistle:

[Lou Girardin]

Pah, shoulda got a gixxer........

They like ditches, don't they?

[The_Dover]

They like ditches, don't they?

That wasn't a ditch, it was a countryfied handicapped parking zone for gixxer pilots.............:doh:

[juzzer]

Is that admitting you were flying? :ride:

[inlinefour]

[boomer]

Thanks guys, and hi-jack away.. i was starting to think no one loved me as my other posts haven't generated any interest :lol:

Pics to come later tonite.

[boomer]

Here's the baby, with one of the other loves in my life :love:

My boy (yes hes a long haired lout) can't wait till he's 5 to own his own.. anly another year :ride:

[inlinefour]

Watch out boomer, my boy is 5 and a half and is allready lining up my CBR for himself:mellow:

[boomer]

You know Inline4 that once they do get on the bikes they'll be leaning them and riding them harder than there old man!!


Had a beaut of a ride out to wellsford today, thanks Enigma51 and Murray...!!! The bike inspires confidence. Leaning over that front wheel like that and dipping into corners is like nothing i've felt before. Big ups to the cbr600f but this is a whole new ball game :2thumbsup

Managed to scrub in the tyres, stick 300k on the clock and become a little more intimate with 'bess'..all good.
Met some kb'ers up at Shell Westgate too.. :rockon: :rockon: and the odd one or two lurking at colemans
