It's tempting just being parked, takes alot to control the urges. I have to say black is quite an impressive color should one choose to maintain it.

Hmm now what else to add to this family

Is your gear all black, cause that would look sweet. Are you by any chance part of sportbikes.net?

It's not black, but you just gave me a good idea or two! I visit that forum once in a while, but I'm a daily favorite on RidersTalk.com , if you have a bike stop by..

I actually just installed a fender eliminator w/ LEDs which completely took off that ugly huge factory fender that was in the picture.

Thanks. These TL's look great clean, and lucky for me the paint is in just as good a shape as when it was purchased, minus the few nics here and there, but it's an imperfect world

Well it's only a 600 so the TL might be able to hang No really nice combo mang. I have a R1 that I love taking to the track. If you ever get a chance to do a track day I highly recommend it.

So is the your first bike?

This is actually my second. I started out at 21 years old with, of all things , a Suzuki TL1000R. Let's just say I didn't have that too long, realized that I was in way over my head and got rid of it. From that point on I borrowed a buddies 750 Ninja for a good while.

Since my girlfriend purchased a 2005 Black Honda CBR600-RR, I couldn't hold back any longer and also dove into this black beauty. It's quite an addiction, looking forward to some events this spring / summer along with the event rides we'll have at the bike forum (the URL in sig and on the bike.)

You have any images of your R1? I'd say stop by the forum and post those up.. would love to see it.

Here is the ZX10 along with TL. This was before I had the A-Spec on my car. To bad the 10 was ripped off I still miss it





Here is one of my R1 with the outside light hitting it. I love this picture.



I also have a Yamaha Road Star Warrior but I can't find any pics of it. So I take some this weekend.

Oh have you done any tracks days yet? So far I have done

Willow Springs Raceway
ButtonWillow Raceway
California Speedway
Laguna seca

If you haven't had a track day I suggest checking one out. You will love it. Makes you not want to ride on the streets anymore. The track will show just how bad it is out on the streets.

I am kind of getting sick of ridding on the streets. I have been rear ended twice. The first one was bad. Dislocated hip and blew apart both my elbows. I now have three screws in each one.

Second one was another motorcyclist hitting me if you can believe it. Nothing happened to me. Bike had small scratches.

I might be selling both the R1 and the Road Star Warrior to get the new R6. I am going to make it into a track bike. Take off all the light and get racing fairings for it. Just have it as a track toy.

Wow, didn't realize you had a black one also, needless the say the resemblance is pretty darn close there! Yours looks great, in good shape as well.

I haven't done any track days yet, however plan to since spring is here. Hopefully it doesn't Totally ruin street riding for me, otherwise I just lost out on an entire summer of enjoyment but I do know what you're getting at. The track is the only / best way to utilize the bike for what it was intended for, as well as picking up more skills. (And not end up like )

Yea, when I open the garage door and saw it I knew I had to take pic. Then I took it out for a nice ride.

The 2006 Ninja's (636 models) all have that standard under tail exhaust. Looking to put an Akrapovic slip on exhaust in it's place which will look just like the factory pipe. The ZX-10R has the dual exhaust as usual.
