Default Caution: Newbie On Board

Well I just bought my first sport bike, but I'm not new to riding. I've owned a Honda TRX250, XR 200, and my once pride and joy, a custom Honda Ruckus with a 150cc engine swap, which I sold to purchase my new bike, my CBR 600F4i.
I don't regret selling my Ruckus, sad to see her go, yes, but if I ever wanted another one, I can always get one.

I originally was going to get a Yamaha R6 and I had my mind set on getting one. But I met this little lady that owned a CBR 1000 and when I saw her bike, I knew that a CBR bike was for me.
I have fallen in love with my new used bike and I'm so happy that I got it. I will definitely get A LOT of use out of it. I had a lot of fun riding my Ruckus, but I can't imagine how much more fun I will have with my new bike, and it's going to be nice not to have to fill up every 70 miles, hahaha.

I just added a few things to my bike, nothing special. I re-upholstered the back seat myself, added new front and back blinkers, yellow rim strips, shorter mirrors, and Rat Bones stickers \m/

I'm not usually one to use badass and honda ruckus in the same sentence. With that being said that is probably the most badass honda ruckus i've ever seen.

Congrats on the F4i she looks great.

So since spicy seems busy lately, you're picking up the slack harassing me?

A simple miswording calling the BMW a n00b friendly liter and I get a new Nemesis

Thanks for the welcomes and thanks for the complements on my Ruck. It's nice to finally be able to go over 65 on a bike and not have to look over my shoulder when I jump on the freeway. The CHP wouldn't care to much for me if I got caught rolling the Ruck on the LA freeways
The CBR is WAY to much fun, I can see why everyone loves this bike
