You think an 04 R6 is good, hop onto an 07/08 600RR. It'll make that R6 feel like it's got hooves.

^^ That's what loans are for.

With all the aftermarket parts financed, my bike ended up costing me a little over $10,000. My payments are $185/month. Not to mention since the economy is in "such bad shape" says everyone, interest rates are at ground level. I picked up a motorcycle loan over 3% lower than their lowest posted rate.......all thanks to everyone being so shaken up about the economy.

Don't worry about debt at your age, you have your whole life to pay it off.

Lets just say paying for college on your own sucks! [:@]

Hints why I have decided to treat myself to my bike and car.

Test rode an '07 R6 before purchasing my RR. Did not like it at all. Was nimble but NO power until 10k.

Now after really riding the RR, I can say i'm beyond satisfied with its handling and weight. Can'tget better then the new RR

Hate to say it...but i'd go with a suzuki before the R6.
