I couldn't afford the insurance on a new 750 when I was 20 so I did the 600 and that bike was way more than enough for my riding ability. I rode a friends gsxr-1000....my god. The thing that amazed me with those bikes was that wether you were going 10mph or 150mph it was effortless to ride. I really miss my bike and don't think I can do a traditional bike quite yet. But I'd rather take one of those rockets to a track and really learn to ride rather than dodging the morons trying to take you out on the regular roads!!
My apologies to the OP for the distraction!

Yea I'm not proud of it but 150mph was probably a weekly occurance on one of our riding routes. NEVER and I mean NEVER in any traffic. If cars were there no way. Again not very smart and could've ended my life but when your young and an "adrenaline junky" as one of my riding buddies said, you just do some dumb things.
That was the thing with this route it was all curves and fantastic riding but the end was a straight shot for a few miles..... Hard to not give into the temptation. Yes eventually got a ticket (and got out of it!!) but sold the bike not too long after. Real life reared its ugly head and I needed money. People always say when they buy these "I'm never going to ride fast".....yea ok.
But again if I got a new one I'd sign up for those track days, although expensive. Curves and speed sections.
Alright OP back to your stuff.
