Ok ancient may be a little strong...but she's a battle-axe alright!

I brought home my new-to-me 1992 Suzuki GSX-r 750 today, and I managed to survive the 150+ kilometer ride home. This bike is in EXCELLENT condition. It's been well used over the years, but her string of previous owners took very good care of her. Mechanicall, she's perfect.

Onto the pictures:

What is it with me and dented tanks?

Gratuitus stable shot:

I definitely need more practice time with the new bike. It's not so much the power and weight of the new bike that's daunting (there's plenty of both...don't get me wrong). It's the fairly aggressive riding position that's throwing me off. I honestly have no idea how people can get a supersport as their first bike and "learn" how to ride in that position.

As for the 250...I'm keeping it for the time being and will continue to use it to commute to work, the gym, the grocery store, etc. The gixxer, which I named Jupiter, will be used on a limited "training" basis until I can get more comfortable with her. On that note...the ride home was AMAZING!
