New Burlington Rider

[Kendo]

Welcome!!! .....And safe riding

[Adamant]

I pick up my 09 GSX-R 600 this Thursday, and I'm excited to say the least. What turned my to the Suzuki is the mode selection. I considered getting a less aggressive bike for a first ride, but I didn't want to sacrifice the potential. I couldn't get myself to like the look of an SV over the Gixxer, so I'm sure my I'll have my hands full. Will definitely be intimidating at first I'm sure. Overall the bike seemed more comfortable to sit on than any other 600cc out there (Ninja, CBR, Daytona etc). Anyways, here I am. The next 4 days waiting to pick up the bike are going to be insanely long.

Welcome fellow Burlingtonian. Watch out for all of the old farts and take it slow.

[Skoal]

just take it easy on the throttle and stay local for awhile. you should be fine.
I started out on a 600...mind you back in the day that was @85hp, the new Gixxer has 105hp...

Let me know when you're ready to head out there, I'd love to see your new bike!

+1

and careful not to grab too much front brakes on that bike... their is no mode A,B,or C mode for your brakes

Cheers..
