We want to see the bad girl pose :-).

That bike looks fantastic. I'm tempted to upgrade my 1999 F4 but trying to save some bucks. If I do upgrade, I might be looking into that color scheme.

I hope you enjoy it.

They look great, thanks for images. You look so happy, even in the leather jacket. Can't wait to see the new one piece. What brand and style did you opt for ? Last year I picked up an inexpensive Alpine Stars one piece for using on track days. Down here it's just too awfully hot to wear one for casual riding. I wear mesh jacket, jeans, boots, and gauntlet style gloves. It's still hot, but not like a one piece.

Just got back from the Leesburg, FL BikeFest which was this weekend. It's not as big as Daytona's Bike Week or Biketoberfest, but still probably 30k or more bikes there. Mostly V twins, but still a good time.

Be safe and have fun on your new ride girl.

Default beautiful

Juliet,
That bike is beautiful inside and out. I was thoroughly impressed with it, so much that I'm buying one next month. I didn't realize just how much I liked it until I found that I was losing sleep over it! I'm getting the black one since all my gear is black. I bet you're SO happy to have it, and are running up the tach as we speak! What a great feeling. Have fun!! Do tell which leathers you went with - I'm still trying to decide on mine

Don't know if you figured this out but the painted tank is just a cover, the fuel tank is a plastic box underneath it. I always thought that was a good idea if you ever had a drop, plastic is easier to fix than metal.

I made the same jump myself 97 f3 to 09 600rr I totally agree with you, its an amazing ride. Be easy dont let the throttle get to your head . The word a friend used was attack..."This bike has a lot more attack then your f3" attack is the right word for it. This bike doesnt like cruising one bit. The mismatch is terrible!! green honda with a yellow jacket :x I = Need new jacket
