I've always had a thing for speed... I just came from a 370HP AWD stage 3 Audi A4... But when I was looking around at liter bike I started talking to people and they suggested to just get a faster 600 and mod it and make it quicker then if I still want more, look into a liter... So I took their advice, in going to get familiar with this thing and try to hit some track days and become a better more confident rider first

So back on topic... I sold the GSXR today... Didn't like it at all... I've never liked them, but got the price I thought why not try... Well, I wasn't impressed at all... So as long as I have a ride tomorrow, I'll be picking up an 05 600rr... HOPEFULLY

An 05 600rr isnt that big of an upgrade other than the undertail exhaust and more forward seating position. I believe power wise theyre about the same.

The riding position of the GSXR, was uncomfortable, the width of the bike was too much, and the low end power was crap lol... Plus the bike was just ugly... But I only paid 2k for it and sold it for 3300

Damn that's a good deal. ^^ The bike looks really clean. How many miles on it? Is there anything wrong with it? Need any service soon like valves etc etc?
