my new blue baby

[horsepwr]

TweetI went with a R6 this time. I'm liking it. I just got the big decals off the side fairings. I'm in the works of ditching the blinkers and the big rear tag/turn signal hunk of junk. These little pipes aren't as quiet as the big ole old school factory cans. Still gotta go though.

Tweetnice! I've wanted one of those for quite some time, now. Nowadays I'd probably only buy one if I lived near a track.

TweetHoly shyt!!! that is unreal! No one would believe that if ya told 'em. That is unbelievable.

You should see the helmet I got today also. It is badass.

and thanks for the compliments y'all. I'm liking it as well. I'm a sucker for that blue. It's looking good without the decals.

TweetLOL...funny vid. Can't see the pic though, I just get that square with the x in the top left corner.

TweetThis R6 feels allot lighter than my CBR did. You can really tell when you move it around with your legs, like backing up. It feels 50 pounds lighter. I think it is about 30lbs lighter.

I know, I don't really have anybody that's into track near me. There are guys that ride, and they do ride, but I'm ready for a track day. If not even at my little personal track I found. I would love to schedule a weekend at Barber. That's got to be the best bike track in the States.

Yamaha lists a 357lb dry weight for my '07. So not 30 like the salesman said but 13lbs lighter than my old '03 CBR, but you can feel it? It might be 30lbs lighter than the heaviest SS. The '08 R6 is 11lbs heavier, but it also has about 10 more horsepower. So that 10hp negates the weight difference, basically.
I thought all the bikes have gotten considerably lighter since '03 though, haven't they? Sometimes they go up in weight though. There were a few years, there, when they went fuel injection that they were at there heaviest.

This thing feels stupid light 02. I wish you could get on it. I swear, the second you even move it around with your legs, you'll think, 'holy shyt!' It feels crazy light.

wow! I bet it does feel flickable. Honda leads the way. The CBR really has always been the one to beat when it comes to weight as well.
