Skinny's new ride

So I got a request for pics of the new whip. Here they are.
So a little history. Traded the pirate boat for a Integra. Fixed up the Integra and got more money for it then I paid for the wagon Oh Yeah
. So after 8 months or so of rocking the metropolitan I finally got it paid off.... Well when I went in to make my last payment they said "hey do you want another bike?"....."Uhh fuck yeah!" So I called up my buddy Alcorn from PNWriders.com and asked if he knew anyone with a CBR. Come to find out he did! So a few phone calls later we were on our way to sublimity to look at the sexy bitch. Custom paint, 2700 miles, Bone F'ing stock, and $3800! I fell in love at first sight. Right then and they we sent the paperwork to my finance company. 4 days later I was tearing up the corners on her sweet ass! Now for the good stuff!
2005 CBR 600 RR
120HP at the rear wheel
380lbs with a empty tank
Inverted forks
Dual radial-mounted four-piston calipers with 310.0 mm (12.2 in) discs
Dual Stage Fuel Injection (8 injectors. 4 On the throttle bodies, 4 on the top of the air box. Under 5500Rpms or half throttle the 4 main injectors on the throttle bodies are on. Above 5500Rpms or half throttle all 8 are firing!)
And yes this is 100x better then the wagon. Yeah it sucks with no heater but the great freedom and no hauling bitches around is awesome. Only down side is cant ride in the snow....Or can I?
I really don't have plans for her. Well I do but nothing to get more power. I'm thinking heated grips for those early morning rides home from work (Albany to Salem at 5-6am), Power commander (not for more HP but better throttle response), and a integrated tail light (previous owner did a fender eliminator and put dinky ass blinkers on that cops just love!), and lastly a double bubble screen.

The paint is also custom like I said. Black with red flake in it
