i know, i used the i really need a bike to help me save on gas lie on my parents and they took it. also another thing i found out i dont need insurance on a bike. when i register the bike all i need is helmet and pay 60 and i get a tag for it and everything. this way i can save money and put another engine in the civic(b18c1 with a super t-60, intercooler and the works, greddy type-s blow off valve, and other few goodies) i am so happy. all this cause i got a new job that pays well over 60,000 a year!!! im a pastry chef a resort so i am happy!!!!!

I'd get insurance still.. trust me.. I knew this guy from Miami that had got a bike and did the whole "hey I don't need insurance so I won't get it" deal and his bike ended up stolen a month later

good point, but we have these parking spaces taht have a slot and a local shop sells these locks that go through the wheel and keeps it to the ground. plus at home it will be in my house( gotta love buying a house that old handicapped people lived in, has extra wide doors for wheel chairs) but yeah i will probably get basic coverage

Physically too small for you? How so? Height/weight?
Gixxer 750's have an amazing amount of power dude...Do us and yourself a favor..and respect the machine...do not take the power of those things for granted...they get away on you so fast.

Smart thing taking the course, but man you better be careful on that 750! Its definately not a toy, especially for beginners. Respect the throttle, and it will respect you. Goodluck with the new bike.

One other thing... An '05 Gix, isn't much larger size wise then a 600.. Just more motor.

I agree on the insurance thing.. Especially on a Race Rep.. Those things are like candy for theives.

man...I can't even ride a bicycle. If I could own a bike though, I'd want a Kawasaki ZII 750. Old school. Maybe a Triumph bike. Sport bikes I'm sure are fun, but every time I see a guy on one I have flashbacks of the early 90's and Vanilla Ice.

My friend with a gixxer6...says..."a gixxer6 is enough power...unless you are good rider...you are wasting your money..because your never going to use yoru power with a 750..."


Have fun on it....

the first 600 i test drove was slower/and sluggish compared to the second 600 i drove. so i dont know i want to buy that first one, cause i think that there might be something wrong with it.

Yeah, do tell... Any of the new 600s are blazing fast, more so then just about any could or should use on the street. Hell all of those little bastards will do about 150mph.

There is nothing wrong with taking the MSF course whether you've ridden before or not it's a smart thing to do either way.
