Bought my first motorcycle....holy crap!

84LX89GT,

I have been riding a motorcycle for many years now. I started with a '84 Honda 750 Interceptor. Sold it and purchased an '87 Suzuki GSXR 1100. I had that bike for 9 years until I retired it to my non-riding collection. Now I ride a '01 Suzuki GSXR 1000. I get the same feeling when I pin the throttle on my liter bike. However, due to my experience, I never ride without a helmet. Have you ever seen any motocycle racer ride without one? As you know, my gixxer lives at 6000 rpm. Ride fast or stay home is what i always say.

Yeah i actually saw a ZX14 at the place that i bought my bike....they had to steal the crown didn't they
they hayabusa is too fast for me anyway, so there's no way i feel a need to buy that. plus i think the ZX14 looks kinda like a bike version of the 80's ferrari testarossa, i like the hayabusa's looks better.
Rbatson - those definately look sweet, i'm sure you'll find something killer.
foxstang - a guy at my work just bought an '06 GSXR-1000 in the same colors as my bike. it looks ALOT lighter and is really cool looking. i really like suzuki bikes.
i can tell you guys i have no intention of ever not wearing a helmet on this thing.....just look at ben roethlisburger....ironically it was on a hayabusa.
