Heya I am new here. I do not own a bike yet but plan to sometime within the near future. I am a huge fan of the gixxxer's so I am kind of biased on the bike models. However I do have a lot of respect for honda's great bike's. I am 18 years old turning 19 soon. I am getting ready to move off to college next month to go to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University to become a Commercial Airline Pilot. I currently live just north of Tampa, FL. Next month I will live in Daytona Beach, Florida. I am also a member at gixxer.com. So I am here to gain more knowledge about the honda bikes as well. Nice to be here.

j/k-welcome to the forum!!

no such thing as a gixxer 1000 for a 19 year old, well when it comes to insurance Especially in florida. I'm 19 and had a hard enough time getting my f4i insured for a good price! And to think that's only 600 cc!

 

Interesting choice for a screen name...

Welcome to the site anyway.

 

So you are 18 and a half? Well, now that you are all grown up here is a secret. All these Jap bikes are great. All are too fast, all start every morning, all stop well, all same. The differences are subtle, those slight differences make a person a Honda, Yamaha, or Suzuki fan. Buy the one you think is the prettiest.

Have fun in Daytona.

 

Thanks. As far as insurance goes it is not mandated here in florida zultan for a bike. Am I going to get insurance ? Possibly. I mean it is a smart thing to do incase the bike is stolen or I get in an accident. I am not sure if I am going to do insurance if I get a bike though. I guess it all depends on who you run your insurance through. I may buy a 2008 gixxer 600 or a 750 and then in 2009 when suzuki comes out with the new gixxer 1000 I am going to get the white and silver/ greyish color scheme. So what cbr exactly matches up against the gixxer 1000 ? Thanks

 

Sorry man.....
You do need liability insurance everywhere.
Have you riden before? A litre bike is not the way to go for a newbee[sm=bangbang.gif]

If you are a newbee the new gixxer 600 is more than enough bike for you.... My girlfriend has an 04 i will post a pic of it soon. In all honestlyI like riding it almost as much as my CBR. It is very quick and if you like gsxrs i would go with that, they have good resale aswell if you decide to go bigger. <<<<< I didnt used to like suzukis but my GFs bike has opened my eyes. (not enough to trade in my honda though) subtle differances again. However, welcome to the forum.

 

hey, he wants to get his precious 1000 GIXXER for the name. let him lol.. i was looking at embry riddle for a minute too, decided to move to kansas city though
