<![CDATA[Official Sport Bike Thread]]>Spring is just around the corner and I know I'm not the only one with the fever to get out and ride! What are you guys riding this year? What's done to your bike? Thoughts on part/brands/gear? Etc, etc.

I've had the itch really bad these last few weeks. I got my '03 R6 just as the season was coming to an end last year and didn't get much of a chance to ride it. I picked up new fairings for the left side of the bike recently as the fairings that came with the bike were pretty scratched up. Hopefully it'll look brand new again.

Anyone have suggestions on a good slip on exhaust that isn't too expensive?

Sold it last year, miss it!

Nice, I'm fixing a '78 550K3 for my g/f to ride this season, just put some GP touring bars on this weekend in place of the stock ape hanger type things.

Werd. I might be back in town, and I'm all about hittin' up bike/car shows. Especially if they are indoors. I'm lazy like that.

Yes, obviously, there was alcohol involved.

I haven't gotten out yet this year. Too lazy to take the bike out of the entry way.

As for gear, since that was asked about also, I ride with an Alpinestars jacket, KBC helmet, Setup "vision" boots which are manufactured under the supervision of SIDI, and Alpinestars gloves. I don't fuck around.

I love the fit of all my gear, with only one complaint on the jacket, it doesn't have a zipper in it to connect it with a pair of pants for a track day.

I finished putting the R6 back together this past weekend. I bought a set of mint left fairings for cheap on Ebay and it's back to looking good as new. I'm so fucking sick of staring at the damn thing every day when I come home though. I wanna ride:icon_shaking:

Its got like 1300 on it, it's super nice, not a scratch.

I think Kelly Mullaney is selling her late 90s (97-99?) GSXR 600 for around that price. It would prolly be worth your time to take a look.

That bike only books for $3585. You can easily get a newer, better bike for $4k.

That's what I bought, a 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 500r. It's silver with orange instead of the red. Wheels must've taken it off the site since I bought it.

I bought this today, should be a perfect first bike. Looking forward to riding with you guys this season.

Your link just goes to Wheels' main page.
