Default I finally got my bike!

So after waiting almost 3 months I finally found a shop with a nice used bike for sale at a decent price. I had to wait like 3 months cause I was trying to sell my waverunner but wanted to use it as a trade-in casue I could get more for it that way. Found a bike I liked last night and called up the dealership in ATL. They said they would give me what I wanted for my waverunner. And I went and picked it up today. It's a 2002 Yamaha R6 in VERY good condition with a little over 9k miles on it. I was very impressed in the condition, it's almost in showroom floor condition. I'm signed up to take the Motorcycle safety course next weekend, since this is my first bike. I can't wait until tomorrow morning to take it of the trailer and drive it around the parking lot blah blah blah enough BS I know all you guys care about are pics so without further adoo...

That's fucking awesome man, bout time. Those are really hard to find. BTW MIG exhausts are quite popular for R6s...

Thanks. It's got a Scorpion exhaust on there right now. I'v never heard of that brand before but it sounds pretty nice, I'll prolly end up with an MIG eventually but not a priority right now. First I'm gonna get some flush turn signals and a rear tail light intergrater kit. Also gonna get some frame sliders. Thats about all I have planned for it until I get a bit more experience.

Nice ride! The R6's are great bikes. Just stay on top of those carburators.
