New here, just got a 09 cbr600rr

2010drive · 06-12-2010, 11:22 AM

Hello,

I just picked up a black and green cbr600rr at Carl's cycles. Some of you have probably seen it there, they had it for awhile. Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

steven32 · 06-12-2010, 11:30 AM

welcome!

JBlondie · 06-12-2010, 11:31 AM

Love that paint scheme!
Welcome to this mad house!

Mikey · 06-12-2010, 11:38 AM

I almost BOUGHT the same color bike at Canyon Honda a couple weeks ago, but didn't want to spend that much for a bike until I get my wife through school and makes more money. But hella nice ride!!! look forward to riding with you.

LONG LIVE THE HONDAS!!!!

e11charlie · 06-12-2010, 11:39 AM

Welcome and definitely love the colors.

steven32 · 06-12-2010, 11:53 AM

and let the modding begin!!!!!

2010drive · 06-12-2010, 12:21 PM

Thanks for the welcomes! I have already done a few little things to it....Removed all the warning stickers, and I removed the orange and red reflectors that you can see in the pic. I also mounted my radar detector on it, and added a CF pro grip tank pad. Many more mods to come as soon as the $$ comes

Nice to see another RD user. That's a mod that pays for itself in no time.

That's my thinking

, do you have any visual alert system on it? I also ordered H.A.R.D to mount in my helmet.

shaner · 06-12-2010, 01:31 PM

Welcome. Hopefully you got that thing at the price they were offering it at last month when I talked to them about it. They had it for cheaper than I've seen a new 600 go for in about 5 years. Either way it's a sweet bike.

Whats the price they were offering you? I did get it about a month ago.

2WheelFanatic · 06-12-2010, 02:35 PM

Man that's one Hell of a first bike. Especially for a 16 year old. Lucky bastard. Welcome!!!

steven32 · 06-12-2010, 03:09 PM

wtf you're only 16?
take off that ugly fender too.

BeckadarO · 06-12-2010, 03:25 PM

love the paint!

scooterholic · 06-12-2010, 03:28 PM

$7200

cms1172 · 06-12-2010, 04:46 PM

first bike and 16, wow
Welcome

2010drive · 06-12-2010, 05:03 PM

Yes, I'm 16 (let the bashing begin) It is my first street bike but not my first bike in general, I've been riding dirt bikes since I was 5, and I am going to get a F/E Steven.

theduckllr · 06-12-2010, 05:07 PM

No bashing. We are just old. I have leathers older then you. (No, they don't fit my fat ass either, thanks for asking).

micko24 · 06-12-2010, 05:08 PM

i love that color scheme! welcome to the site man, can i test ride it hehehe.

theduckllr · 06-12-2010, 05:13 PM

Spoiled much?

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/tha...-on-nightline/ LOL!

A CBR for a 16 year old seems a bit... well... lets just say we all hope you have the maturity to not get carried away. We say this because we all for the most part have gotten carried away while being older, and are lucky enough to still be here.

Not spoiled that much

. I don't like talking about myself much, but I do feel that I'm more mature then 99% of 16 year olds. I've been home schooled for the past 4 years, and I think that has helped a lot learning about the "real" world. I'm not gonna lie I ride my bike harder than most would with a new bike but I know the limits of my skill as I'm still getting use to a street bike.

theduckllr · 06-12-2010, 05:35 PM

Carefull! When people say they "know the limits of their skills", its because they have crashed right after discovering those limits.

theduckllr · 06-12-2010, 05:37 PM

Oh yeah, and WELCOME!!! (stay away from the Gator, and that BRN'r that just got arrested. You are prolly young enough to be of interest to him.

I had my own landscaping company last year. I didn't start it back up this year as there are WAY to many people doing it with everyone being laid off. Plus we were in the middle of moving/remodeling. I have a friend that works for UPS as a driver and he makes some decent money ($20 hour) so I'm currently waiting to turn 17 (minimum age) so I can try and get on with UPS and work my way up to a driving position.

I've just been using headphones. Kinda a PITA. I'm thinking I'll probably end up getting the H.A.R.D.

Gem STate ST · 06-12-2010, 07:09 PM

Welcome,and I've been using a screamer with my radar detector.This one http://www.motorcycleradar.com/products_pg2_4.htm In two years it hasn't failed yet and I ride in all kinds of weather.

Here's mine.

Mine's similar, but I mounted a sheetmetal plate for it to sit on. I like yours though, looks clean. I think I'll try that.
For power, I wired it into my low beam circuit.

Whoah, how come on my 02 I don't have a choke like yours?

It's a Fast Idle Lever. On the 1000, I think they did away with it after 01. It's FI, so it's not actually a choke, it just raises the idle, for starting up on cold mornings I guess.

I never use it.

They change everything on the 1k I believe the year (might be 2) before the 600. That is why your 02 doesn't have it.

Nice Passport, I have the 8500 with the radar screamer on mine. I don't have any pics at the moment.

lost cause · 06-13-2010, 01:41 AM
