Last weekend, Saturday, I picked up my brand new, all black,  Suzuki GSXR 600 or as everyone dubs them "Gixxers".

I rode dirt bikes since I was about 7 or 8 years old and stopped riding because I had joined the Marine Corps at 18.

About a month ago, I decided I wanted a sport bike and started checking them out.  I never told my wife and pretty much kept it to myself.  After I decided on the Gixxer, I just had to decide on a 600 or 750.  Since I haven't really ridden anything but bicycles for the past 14 years, I figured a 600 would be enough for me...not too mention the 750 doesn't come in all black.

The current mods to the bike are merely cosmetic at this time as I am getting used to riding a motorcyle again.  They include a Competition Werks rear fender eliminator kit, a Progrip tank pad and Shogun frame sliders.

In the works is a CarbonFiber Works rear hugger, chainguide and heel guards.  After I get those put on then the Yoshimura pipe and ECM will be installed.
