Now that's what I call a screen upgrade! Go and get it before its gone!
Do you need it, do you want it, can you afford it?
Well....that's the funny thing. I just got a CBR 600 RR dropped off here about 10 minutes ago and it will be here for many months
I can ride it at any time for as long as I like. So.....I might just get to see the 'other side'
But, I've been really tied up with the new ECU and that's really where all the financial resources are going. The second revision is under way and after that's gone off to the factory for prototyping I have to install the nitrous and the quick shifter and configure everything. I've got so much work ahead of me that it's not funny. I did finally manage to get around to installing the wide band 02 bung the other day so at least that's off my plate. The wireless digital dash has also been installed and it's working well. (the ECU has it's own wireless network which the dash communicates with).
I've only had a few moments to look at the CBR 600 but 15,000 RPM out of the box - that's pretty sweet. We actually lifted it out of the back of a pick up with no real issues (4 of us). So this was all really last minute. It belongs to a buddy (he wanted to trade off his Buell) and he just called me a few hours ago to ask my opinion. Next thing I know, the bike's here. I had mentioned the Ducati's to him several times but they do tend to blow up and the costs are quite expensive. His solution was that he'd buy one, leave it parked here at my place, I could ride it, and when it blew up I'd do the work in turn for being able to ride it
Not a bad deal but I think the CBR 600RR, while not as exotic as an Italian mistress, is the more practical bike.
The problem is that, up until now, I've been quite satisfied with the 125 and the extra power I've put into it. I hope the 600 doesn't spoil that for me!!! Maybe I won't ride it after all
