Default A quick hello from the new girl

So I just brought my bike home. It's a red 2001 600F4i. My first bike so I'm excited which makes it suck double that it's sitting in the pick up under a cover 'til the rain stops.

The point of the bike was to help save some money from the gas pumps this summer, but I have a feeling I'm gonna get sucked into modifying it just a smidge.

So here she is.

Good lookin' bike. Welcome aboard!

You will certainly save money on gas for everyday commuting & around town errands...BUT...you'll want to ride all the time & that costs gas money too! :-D

Did you take the MSF Course?

Nice looking ride! Im not baised or anything....

Seriously, welcome to the forum. Saving gas is a plus for a bike. But be warned, the cost of those mods you will want to do and gear drive the cost back up there. But, you will get home in a way better mood than when you drive the car! The smile is worth every penny.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Yeah, Gotcbr, I've taken the safety course.

Can't say yours looks bad at all either, Demon. I'm not usually a red person but red and black is too classic to look bad. And I know all about the mod bug. But I can't say that this bike will always put a bigger smile on my face than the car. This is my baby but over 4 bucks a gallon hurts.
