Replaced the 250 with...
Well, as you guys know, I lowsided the 250 a few weeks ago. The lowside bent the frame and it was totalled. So last Saturday I went out to Cocoa and got a replacement bike. Also had to get a new helmet, obviously, so I'll start with pics of that while I go out and take pics of the new bike.
Chrome visor front Dark Smoke visor, side (side without the visor's rash ) Don't worry, I'm not pulling a full on @nickjpass I just want to be sure I'm posting nice pictures of the bike, not half arsed ones. |

And some pics. Not the greatest, but I'll be going out later, hopefully I'll find someplace nice to snap some pics while I'm out riding.

It rides really nicely. I sat on all the different 600s, different years for each of them too; and the 07+ CBR just fit me like a glove. Brakes are great, suspension is amazing, the power is mind blowing. I am loving this bike so much. And I can say that toping out first gear get you to about 80mph.

With a passenger, it's still quicker accelerating than the 250 with one light-weight person...

Maybe a bit harsh, but understandable.

I don't get it, either. If someone lowsides a 250, why would they think a 600 is somehow ok as a replacement?

Also the bike looks better in person. Hopefully next time we go for a ride, you will be more used to the cbr, so you can keep up in the turns! And I will take up your offer to switch bikes during a ride one of these days. I really would like to see how the riding position feels compared the the zx. |

people judge you based on how you crashed and the way you talk about it. not simply that you crashed. there are many different ways of crashing.

And a lowside (as stated) is operator error. I don't know why going to a less forgiving bike would be the logical thing to do... And Eric, I haven't personally ridden with you so I have no first hand experience. Just be safe, and keep the shiny side up |

Did u buy your 250 back salvage ?! Woulda made a fun track bike ! Or sell me any good parts off the carcass lol .
The Honda is sharp ! Razor sharp , I love the newer 600s . I haven't rode a Honda since I sold the 94 900rr . That was too much bike for my comfort at the time . You defiantly have a decent bike to grow into now ! Not getting bored anytime soon will you? |
