Really??!?? I like tribal designs as much as the next guy, but it's a bit too much on that bike. Looks like tribal threw up on it.

I'd tone that down a bit, and then a decent looking bike would be a very nice looking bike.

But as long as you're happy with it, ENJOY!!

maybe just replace the seats. i like them but it's probably just enough to clean it up.

600 CC's go a long way. and its not like he is a pro racer and is going for speed records, there is a reason in CA you see a lot of HUGE groups of 600cc bikes, i asked them why they were all so low, and they said, we will never need the 150 cc's or above.

as for a starter bike, its gonna be nice. ive been a fan of honda's for a while.

...maybe because he isn't an idiot? And maybe 'cause he has an adequately sized dick?

Though I've got no clue on the latter.

I'll admit i didn't read all the replies...I just commented on the bike's looks. But who ever said it's slow is crazy. That bike is perfect for a starter bike, he'll love long after he's gotten used to riding it. And don't get me wrong I like it but the tribal theme is excessive. But that's just MY opinion. If you love it then that's ALL that matters. It really is a nice bike.

Yeah, didn't mean to be rough on you at all. I just prefer subtlty over wild and crazy. If you like it, and you're the riding it, that's all that matters!!

And, yeah, a 600 is plenty if you're just looking for a good time and to have a good commuter bike. Anything bigger is just for going out and showing off and potentially killing yourself. Having fun on two wheels doesn't need to mean massively exceeding speed limits on two wheels (something most of the street bikers I see in my area REALLY need to learn).

hehe, I was kidding, thats probably too much bike for a first timer...but if you respect it you'll get along fine those bikes are hardly slouches

Thanks guys..im honestyly pretty nervous of it...i think the power to weight ratio is rediculous...approx: 100hp>400pds...yikes
Re: New bike...56k death

that nervousness will save your life. a "slow" bike is usually considerably faster then most any car. Your "small" bike will outrun ANY stock fbody...consider we come from cavaliers....and its plenty quick

Congrats and welcome to the addiction, I always liked the headlights on that year. Paul should add the bike is considerably faster than just about every stock car. It's capable of mid to high 11sec 1/4 mile times out of the box. 1000cc sport bikes almost never get used to their full potential by us average Joes, 600cc's is more than enough.

It seems like kind of high km's for an 05 but the condition is still good so I would not worry about. You were better off with a 600 since it is lighter. On a 400 pound machine even 20 pounds of a liter bike will be noticable when riding it.
