I went and checked out the 750 and it was garbage. I was like nice plastics bro, but it doesn't cover up the fact that you have tracked this bike, and wrecked it hard. He still had the race tires on it and tried to tell me that the bike was never at the track and he didnt go. I asked him where he got the tires, at the track as take offs...I was like dude.....

In the end I decided against a new bike and went used. I found the 2007 gsxr 600 from a guy who had a kid on the way so he was motivated to sell. I got him to go around 5400 on the 2007 and it had 8.7k miles on it. As he was leaving I noticed the mounting point for a swing arm spool was mucked up and we finally settled on 5200 dollars. Also got a jacket, gloves, bluetooth helmet with speakers and that crap. The bike is pretty immaculate overall. I only have cell phone picture blue and white color scheme. When seen in person people appreciate. I am removing stock exhaust and replacing it with a hot bodies gp growler

Need a new front tire asap. Prolly pick one up this evening. I knew it was getting there, but last evening I cracked on it in first and the front tire went left to right, not wanting to hold. Is it hard to take the front wheel off?

Front wheel is easier than the rear, imo. At least not quite as involved anyway.

Well, I called my buddy who does my tires/service for me, he has a set of dunlop sport q2 qualifiers like new he'll give me for $200.00 installed, so I'll just save my michelin 2ct and put it back on later. That's a hell of a deal and I don't have to fool with taking the wheel off.

Edit: Anyone need a good rear tire? Michelin 2ct with only 1k miles on it, very good shape.
