i'm a harley dyna fan,
<-- see nic
having owned a few including my current one.

but that's not what this thread is about.

I just bought my first bike, a Honda 600RR tuned to about 119 hp. Not much to many, but good for a beginner like myself! :thumbsup

i certainly do not look at the rr as a beginner's bike. in fact, i'd say that's overkill for a beginner.

nice ride :thumbsup

I want a new R1, much refinded

nice bike :)

it really is a monster
drive nice and safe

I dont like the new monsters. The generation before was way cooler.

Enjoy it none the less, and be safe on it.

Nice looking ride, but my bike days are over.

That's a nice bike, my friend.

LOL alright I guess I made a good choice then. :winkwink:

I'd love to drive it and drive it .......

thanks for the positive comments!

took the new bike for it's 1st spirited run, it's waaay better than my 1st gen monster.

The 600rr is a great choice. Hondas are the easiest to learn on IMO. I started my sport bikes on a F4i (bought in Tucson actually) and ended up getting the 1000RR because I am a big guy and wanted the extra power. Once I knew how to ride I upgraded to the R1 and never looked back. Faster and more responsive.

The new Ducati 999 is a sweet ride. :thumbsup

there is no new ducati 999, they produced the 999 in 2004/06.

I came...

...just sharing.

I had a b/f who had one. This was way back in the day, when I could ride and ride!


:thumbsup

NICE! lol

Now that's a beautiful bike.....

wow great bike, my dream bike hehehheh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a 2006 749 Superbike - sold it last year... I'll probably get a MotoGuzzi this next time. Enjoy your bike, ride safe!

999 is sick...

That monster is one sexy beast.

mine too! i dream about ducati many times, i saw this new monster at the long beach motorcycle show back in november and fell for it on the spot, i'm a longtime monster fan. thx eh.
right on! they had a used 1098r superbike that was about the same price & was tempted but i like the traditionally air-cooled models and the naked style. i'll track this bike too.
agreed. & thanks eh :)

Looks like a sweet bike,congrats

I still have my 1975 900SS dont ride it much but it's a sweet old stylish bike.

FCUK YAH bake!

Loooking good :thumbsup

That is a pretty hot bike!!

great bike congrats

That is one sexy bike :thumbsup

I'm terrified of learning how to ride :(

thx eh!

you are actually a good candidate for learning how to ride a motorcycle properly- you have a healthy concern re: the dangers of riding and have yet to be taught incorrect techinque .

the absolute best way to learn is to take the motorcycle safety foundation's beginner bike course. they provide all the safety gear AND a small displacement motorcycle for you to learn on.

you should go for it, there's nothing like riding a motorcycle
