Default CBR 600RR for me

:thumbup:

I was going to wait till spring to buy a used 01' F4 (after talkin' to Rich ), but I saw some used 600 RR's for 9-10k CDN (13.5k new) with only 1000 km! It's all black.

Anyways, assuming I can get the bank loan for 10k i'm set. Just applied today. I just hope I get approved because i'm not working, but I do have 10k of rrsps in my account and enough assets to cover it. h: Friend says it's 50/50 i'll get approved, so pray for me.

I never had a bike before. My cousin with a Ninja 600R said to get a 250cc for $1000 to practice and I think I will do just that. RR' will prob be a garage decoration till I get enough skills to take it out.

Be careful man, that's a hefty bike for a novice.

End of season, prices are lower is the logic.....but it was partially an impulse buy. h:

that's a lot of bike for a beginner...

I would have chosen something less powerful like 250cc

:EDIT: nevermind my slow brain understood the last two sentenses after I submitted the above h:
