totally agree! And remember Semper Ride.

Congrats.
Good bike and very popular, which means parts are plentiful.
Hopefully, you won't need a lot of them, lol.

Now, don't be a douche and don't try to be the toughest guy on the block with that bike.
Build your skills progressively and never loose sight of your limits, and by that token, not only you'll get to grow old but you'll have an absolute blast learning.
Remember, there will always be a faster rider than you on a lesser bike.

Good luck.

Don't go out and practice wheelies! I see so many bikes smashed from someone trying to clutch it up or looping it in 1st gear.

Well I was never a fan of wheelies, seems better to keep both wheels on the ground haha. I do realize its been a few years since I've rode, so I've been taking it pretty easy and getting my groove back.

Cool man, I hope to be at Chuckwalla this fall.

That's a clean looking bike man. I was in the exact same boat as you. I was looking at 750's, there the best of both worlds. More power but still retain the lighter frame of the 600. I went with the blower though, only because I got a great deal.

But now I still want to get back to riding. I guess I know what I'm saving for now, lol.

yourmyboybh1026

Yeah, I love it. Just a few pounds heavier than the 600 and a little more power. I got an amazing deal on it which is one big reason I went with it over the blower.

I hear ya man. If I didn't get my A2A intercooler setup for $1900 I would have picked up a bike instead, but I couldn't pass up that deal.

Good luck with the bike. You plan on modding it?

yourmyboybh1026

It already has a full exhaust and power commander, so the only thing I have planned is a fender eliminator kit.

Oh nice, That thing moves! And it saves you a couple bucks. Once of these days I will pick up a 1000 and stretch/slam it. Ive always wanted to do so since I was a kid.
