View Full Version : returned to the brand that started it all for me backinthesaddleagain June 9th, 2010, 03:53 PM In 1974 my parents bought me an MR50 for my 10th birthday.Today which is a couple weeks before my 46th birthday I bought myself a 2009 CBR600 with ABS. Just beat the rain home so 18 slow miles for now. Posted via Mobile Device kkim June 9th, 2010, 04:05 PM congrats!! I'm a Honda fan as well, but hope you'll be keeping the ninja, too? youngster! :p austexjg June 9th, 2010, 04:09 PM Nice bike - I'm only upgrading when I can afford a slipper clutch & ABS on a stock bike and several seasons on the tracks, and then ride it like the IOM TT is taking newcomers. Look forward to pics... backinthesaddleagain June 9th, 2010, 06:39 PM congrats!! I'm a Honda fan as well, but hope you'll be keeping the ninja, too? youngster! :p Thanks Kelly - unfortunately keeping the Ninja wasn't in the financial equation. However you all aren't done with me yet, I have no intention of moving away from the best forum on the 'net. backinthesaddleagain June 9th, 2010, 06:42 PM Couple pics of metallic black. Unfortunately taken in the rain, but carefully blotted dry in the garage. Know how that black can be a bear. Snake June 9th, 2010, 07:14 PM Congatulations on the new bike Greg. My first bike was a Honda as well. DEXSPEED June 9th, 2010, 07:48 PM what are you doing w/ my bike!j/k nice love it! CRXTrek June 10th, 2010, 01:45 AM NICE BIKE How do you like the ABS. Do any hard braking in your wet ride? Banzai June 10th, 2010, 04:31 AM Nice! tabogon June 10th, 2010, 04:51 AM Grats, Greg! +1 on the ABS, would like to hear your opinions on it. backinthesaddleagain June 10th, 2010, 05:33 AM Thanks everyone. While we joked as I left the dealer that the ride home might turn into a good ABS test as rain was in the forecast. I rode slow and upright on the 18 miles home and stopped with plenty of room to spare. Will let you know if I notice anything with it as I get used to the bike. Flashmonkey June 10th, 2010, 05:57 AM Beautiful bike, Greg! 250rinblack June 10th, 2010, 06:45 AM Nice bike Greg; black's a bugger to keep clean though. tjkamper June 10th, 2010, 06:51 AM Congrats on th new bike. backinthesaddleagain June 10th, 2010, 08:09 AM Nice bike Greg; black's a bugger to keep clean though. Yeah I hear that, at one time I had a black car and a black SUV that was a task keeping both looking good. CC Cowboy June 10th, 2010, 11:27 AM Sweet ride dude. Happy Birthday! HKr1 June 11th, 2010, 05:26 AM Couple pics of metallic black. Looks real nice! Congrats :) Suppose to be alllot faster being 46 :boink: Grn99Kawi June 12th, 2010, 07:21 AM awesome! Enjoy it! Apex June 12th, 2010, 06:08 PM I'll ONLY own a bike in black. I'll never own another car in black. My black 250 is pretty easy to keep clean. So I'd do another black bike. Looks good. :) Green Streak June 12th, 2010, 11:04 PM Nice Bike! Congrats!:thumbup: backinthesaddleagain June 13th, 2010, 07:16 PM Thanks - weather has been rainy on and off.
