cbr954rr's only weigh about 370 an 07 gsxr 600 weighs 357 so weight differance is slight.

i dont think ever every taken any pictures of my bike, not that its anyting special since it was dropped from the previous owner.

Re: Looking into getting a bike

if it is your first bike get a 500 get used to it their power is easy to get along with and you can always resell it and upgrade once you are comfortable. there are so many people around here that just jump on a bike and they are dead or their bike is totaled in the 1st week. the newer 600s have a nice powerband if you are lighter. my 1st sport bike was a zx7r and it had plenty of torque. and hp for me. but i had been ridiing since i was 10 on dirt bikes. or if you are into dirtbikes get a super moto! yz or ktm they are sick.
