Hi, I'm collecting the same bike on the 15th May. Is the petrol tank metal? only that I have a tank bag and its magnetic. Look forward to a reply. Stunning bike and sound mate.

@evilhamster666 Modern? yes Evil? NO! Anybody can tell the cbr1000rr (any year) is the most evil looking 600cc jap bike out there, then yamaha in second. Which i find is funny because they attract men who ride them but the gsxr 600 (ugliest to most riders) is the bike to be on to get laid lol -.- Ninja is ugly in all ways you look at it besides the new '11 zx10... its green colored trademark is a cheap looking color along with their no "logo" on kawasaki bikes. Just pitiful bike to look at imo

@flix-why would you advice someone to buy a 250? That's a kids bike, I rode one of those and its like riding a moped. My first bike was a 96 inch harley. That's how you learn dork.

@XaleTorren U're welcome ;- ) I am happy to help other ppl with same dreams :)

[XaleTorren]

@FliskerXill keep that movie in mind, thanks for all your help man =].

[FliskerX]

@XaleTorren And for sure check movie Twist of the wrist II ;) There is rly a lot of information about how to ride bike.

[FliskerX]

@XaleTorren I dont know but, if your going to buy your first bike and u never ridden one before ... and u also don't have anybody to learn u ride this kind of bike .. I would rly advice u to consider that 250cc sport ,at least for 2-3months for exmple, to learn basics and see how confident do u feel on that bike. 600cc supersport is rly fast, it's not like 600cc cruiser bike, these ones are high rpm bikes , my factory R6 did 290km/h top speed and around 125km/h on frist gear.

@FliskerX our English is fine better then mine, and its my first language lol.

The only experienced biker i know is my uncle and dad... but they ride cruisers =[....

I might have to make some new friends lol.

@XaleTorren I am buying R1 actually right now :) (On saturday I am going to pick her up). I would say 40-50k kilometres is max for these engines can do as far as I know, so 1-20k would be good (1,6kilometer = 1mile). Main things for me when buying bike are that it have be able shift all geras smoothly and if u leave handlebars in +- 60-70miles/h it should go straight forward. I would advice u get some experienced rider with u and let him ride bike and check if it's ok.Btw sorry for mmy english:)

[XaleTorren]

@FliskerX yea know i am scared to ride an R1 lol, i mean ive been reading on its throttle response, and if i hit a bump and i accelrate i am guan ram into something 400lb is nothing fora bike, + i only way 130 =/ Maybe i need muscle before i get something like that.

I gotta a question tho, i think i am going to go with CbR600 or a gixer, my question is for say 05-08 model whats a good miles, how many miles is too much for a bike, and anything to look out for when buying.

Thanks.
