I'm selling some of my track gear if you need cheap leathers.
Yeah, they are very "mainstream" but I've heard good things about them. The one I'm getting is blue/black. I actually almost bought a 636 but it was a year older and had twice the mileage for the same price. From what I've read and been told, the big four sportbikes are all generally the same, but the suzuki and hondas are the most popular and ordinary I guess. The gixxer and the ninja were the two that felt the most comfortable to me, so the best deal first is where I went.

I'm excited to learn how to ride tho and glad that I hopefully found a very nice bike to start with. Hopefully I'll get a few trips before it freezes.

I'd love to pick up a cheap F4i and paint it satin black.

I'd be one of those jackasses rocking a Mohawk helmet. :P

I was going to point you in the right direction until you mentioned a mohawk helmet.

I bought a mohawk pre-production before anyone really even knew they existed, and when I got it, it never left the house. I realized how ridiculously stupid it looked. Next year I'm having a friend airbrush a helmet for me and I'm going to see about getting some finishing touches by GatorGlass... That'll be sweet if it ever happens!

I'd totally come to this if there weren't a way cooler meet on the same day near Mount Vernon.

Have you ever ridden a 600RR or 1000RR? The most uncomfortable fucking bike ever made. Aftermarket seats don't even help much IMO when it comes to that bike.

636 is the most comfortable bike... 636 FTW.

It's like sitting on plywood. I've ridden to Daytona... Wouldn't care to ride any real distance on a 600RR.
