I ended up buying a 2008 600rr sooner than I originally planned. I'm making the switch from cruiser (Suzuki Boulevard M50) to sportbike. I like the body style of the '08 better than the '09, plus the dealerships are now offering deals on the '08. I bought the bike on Thursday during a level 2 snow emergency. My bike got delivered to my house today. Because of the ice that is still around the guys from the dealership got stuck for a while in my driveway. Now I just have to wait for weather to improve so I can actually start riding.

 

Welcome aboard. Do you have any pics yet???what color????

 

Here are some pictures

 

very nice ride....Do you plan on doing any mods anytime soon????

 

My next motorcycle expenses will likely be on getting into trackday riding before I do anything to the bike. I've been riding for 4 years but I'd like to take my skills further before making the bike faster.

 

Nice man, thats pretty. Just asking, what dealship did you pick that up from? Im over on the east side of cincy and the stealerships over here have the few 08s they still have at really jacked up prices.

 

Congrats! she a bute! dont complain about not ridn' im in Canada (Ottawa area) and my girl is hibernating till spring Good call on the mods btw, buy you can always do cosmetic mods first ie front lights/ FE etc

 

I went to Honda of Fairfield. If you are looking at local dealerships they were very courteous there and as far a customer service goes they are great to deal with. The salesman did a good job of basically talking motorcycles with me rather than being overly aggressive and pushing for a sale. He was even one of the guys who drove the bike out to me today. Since I don't have a trailer or ramps for my truck it was nice that they delivered my bike in an enclosed trailer for around $30. Not bad considering that I'm actually in Indiana. I had my choice b/w orange, silver, or graffitti. They took about 1000 off of msrp. The graffitti is of course a couple hundred more. Don't just look at the tags because if you just ask they will quote you a price that is actually discounted more.

I REALLY want to ride now. Can't wait to hit my favorite backroads when the weather improves.

 

Nice man..welcome to the cbr addiction

The mod bug will get you soon LOL

 

^^ A mod bug is something that normal people get. People like you have Mod Terburkulosis and symptoms of "deep-pocketitus".
