Going to finally ride next weekend it looks like. Just need to inspect her, not going for new tires this season either. Not close to the wear bras and they are holding pressure.

Sales on the 996 and VTX 1300 went a little better and quicker than I imagined. I took a beating on the 996 but I bought that with my heart and not my head. It happens.
So now I'm one week in on the GSX-S 1000F. Found a used 2016 with only 2100 miles on it at a car dealership. Took it home for a steal ($5900). Found the previous owner on social media and it looked like he went from a CBR500 to this beast so I would say he was scared to death and eventually traded it in on a new mustang after only putting 2K on in 3 years. You should have seen the chicken strips.
I like it so far but definitely need to send the ECU off soon to smooth that throttle out. It's stupid fast for me coming from the 996. I've always heard that the inline 4 1000cc motors are better for the street and that's no lie. I can drop to 35 in 5th and just roll on the throttle and be back up to speed in no time. So much less shifting. The ergos are good. I can ride for a few hours now and not want to kill myself. (the 996 was brutal on the street)
Now all I need are some riding buddies.

Yeah I was pretty happy with it. Called the day before on a new 2018 that was listed for $6800. After all the dealer BS it was going to be $9200 out the door. Decided I was only going to look at used after that and found this one 5 hours away. Black and red 100% stock.
You still on the 6R?Last edited by spirit750; 07-23-2019 at 08:48 AM.

hnnnnngggg I like it. Looks great.
yeah man. Based on my research, it's almost dumb to buy any bike new since you have to deal with destination fees, assembly fees, etc that bring the bike up an extra 2k before out the door. I hate that because I truly want new one day.
Used just seems to be the best betLast edited by eternalone423; 07-23-2019 at 09:44 AM.

checking in. this is my new bike
not me in the image. zero srf
but got this because i live in a heavy traffic area and thought it would be incredibly easy to ride and low maintenance. Thing is incredibly fun, still slowly opening up the power/torque it gives me in the settings. Downside obviously is range, not taking this out for all day rides.

Yeah, used 2016 with 2K miles, but it was like new.
Looking at cycle trader it appears that I got the best deal in the country on one. Already ordered mid pipe (cat delete), windscreen, and levers. Going to wait until I get all that and order PAIR block off plates then send the ECU off while I install everything. Should be a fuking beast with cat delete and ECU flash.

I'm slow AFFFF.. Wasn't a lot of organization throughout the weekend. Novice was basically "pass on straights", but it was always a free for all by the end of the day. I got passed by some quicker people on the inside a couple of times. Interesting experience for sure on the track vs street. Definitely picked some stuff up. Wrecked yesterday being stupid. Feeling it today. Took PTO off to recover, but am too stubborn to actually take the day off. lol

Pretty sure what happened was I'd just came off of like an hour and a half break. It was the first lap back out. I was trying to get myself to back off the first couple of laps again, but in doing so zoned out so much I stopped paying attention. Ended up going from inside to outside of corner not being able to fully stop, and ran off into the grass. As soon as I hit the grass I washed out.
