Some of you saw that I sold my ZX14 recently....well the second it rolled out of my driveway I almost shed a tear and became determined to sell my Mustang and get myself and my wife back on 2 wheels. Well I ended up getting her a killer deal on an 07 ZX6r and a helluva deal on an 08 CBR 1000RR. Following are the pics

Yeah I know they aren't Busa's and not even part of the Suzuki family DOH!

Damn man, nice score. Don't worry about not being Busa or Suzi, I'm not either, as long as we still respect the Busa as King and each other for our diversity we'll remain a happy EBC. I like that your wife rides her own bike, I'll probably never know what that kind of relationship will be like...jealous. Both bikes look very nice (and I don't really like the H brand too much).

thanks man, yeah she loves to ride and wanted a liter bike this time around but when she saw this ZX6 she fell in love. I am not a Honda fan boi by any means, but after reading how well these new CBR's performed I had to take it out for a ride and with the deal I got, and all the aftermarket thrown onto this one already, there was no way I was going to say no. This thing screams

I got to ride an 07' 1000RR a few times, powerful to say the least, both engine and braking. Handled alright too. Then I heard this new edition is much better all around...scary.

Her ZX-6R has a slipper clutch factory too right? My Chief had a red one before trading it in for his Ducati S4RS.

thanks guys....I went out last night for a bit on her....let's just say I can't wait until the ground warms up a bit to see what she really has

As long as you guys are on 2 wheels your friends in my book.

I'm a former "H" owner and would own one again as a second bike.

Great looking pair of bikes. Like others said as long as you are still riding that is what matters, not which make or model bike you ride.

Stangman_NB · #12 (**permalink**) 03-10-2010, 08:51 PM

thanks guys...definitely hope I can get a ride in with a few of the locals this year, never had the chance last year

thanks again everyone and really nice pics there man!

Good looking bikes. A friend had a 07 600rr was a great bike. Very nimble and handled well in corners. Wifes bike is good looking as well. Always a plus to have the wife as a passenger or a rider as well. Good stuff

Stangman_NB · #22 (**permalink**) 03-11-2010, 02:18 PM

The wife used to have an 06 600RR and she loved the damn thing, she ended up with a 07 Gixxer 600 after that and to be honest that thing felt so sluggish compared to the RR, now she has the 6R and she completely loves it. More comfortable than the RR and faster than the GSXR.

Those pics are from last years Bike Blues and BBQ rally in Fayetteville ar. We did a few blasts around and the girls all piled in the wifes convertable and took these shots....can't wait for this years rally...

Nice looking bikes! Nice looking lady if you don't mind me saying. What kind of camera you using those pictures are fantastic.
