2003 GSX-R600 Alstare edition.

IPB Image

Bad picture of me, but hey, it was taken from a cellphone.

I still have the celica, but I plan on selling it.. I'm still a new rider, still have those jitters. Everyone told me to not start on a super sport bike, but I couldn't resist. Right now I'm taking it easy on her, but being on this thing, seeing as how it has almost the same amount of HP as a GT Celica, it's a *completely* different experience than anything i've ever driven.

My auto ST is jealous, but she'll get over it. Just thought I'd share, I was gonna turbo my car or put some money in to it, but I kinda like the good ol' reliability of Toyota so i'll probably never mod it.

Anyone else here ride a bike? Post some pics!

i heard 600 CBR's are somewhat easier to start on than a gixxer, this thing is intimidating. either way, you'll still have a blast on any 600.

i've been riding for about a month now and i've gotten it up to about 100 on some closed back roads. they have a nice stretch of about a mile of clean paved road (new construction stuff) which i practice my straights on every night. i paid my buddy $20 to sweep all the gravel off the road, haha.

Yeah, the CBRR 600's are like basically training bikes for everyone when it comes to starting off.
