I'm 27. Bought a 97 Honda CBR 600 Drag bike, (I know, why would you drag race with a 600?) when I came back from the sandbox. Upgraded to an 03 GSXR 600. Got it stolen here in Miami. Bought an 02 GSXR 1000, got rid of it to start a family. Finally bought an 03 XB9s and I will say, its the best bike I've owned hands down no competition. On the way to work, people are just breaking there necks trying to figure out what I was strapped on.
