Welcome.

The 600RR is the best 600 I've ridden to date.

Thanks! The only "problem" I have with it is the seat can get pretty hot on a hot day. But I guess I wouldn't have it any other way!

"FireBlade" is the "codename" for the CBR 900RR/929RR/954RR/1000RR. In other countries, they actually have the FireBlade logo on them.

Yeah, I didn't even plan on getting a bike 2 weeks ago. I went into Long Beach Motorsports and was talking to Abe (cool guy) and I ended up mentioning that a dealer was selling '05 F4i's in Laguna Hills for $7299. Long story short, I talked him down to $7799 and ended up driving away that day on my new CBR600RR...
I'd recommend anyone to Abe, he's also a stunna on Team Lojic and a very cool guy...

Thanks BTW, yeah that's my original Canyon carver, but since I have a bike... carving has a whole new meaning...
