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.

congrats!! I'm a Honda fan as well, but hope you'll be keeping the ninja, too?

youngster!

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...

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.

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.

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

Yeah I hear that, at one time I had a black car and a black SUV that was a task keeping both looking good.

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!
