It took me 295 days to spot another GSX650F on the road.

I finally saw one (passed one) on my commute to work today, route 2, east bound.

It was the faster blue color.

Damn, you nearly made it a whole year thinking you were the only one cool enough in your area to own and ride a 650F. 8)

I saw quite a few when I was waiting for mine to finish being modded at the dealers when I bought it (took forever :roll: ) but as soon as I picked it up, I never saw another one again.
Now I just notice guys on their gixxer600's staring at me all confused like WTF is that?

I've NOT SEEN A SINGLE one on the roads here. The closest one on here in Augusta GA. I can't understand it. It's a great bike. I know the "true Crotch Rocket" crowd aren't big into the bike but they are missing out.

The other day I picked up a Ninja 250 for my better half. This is her first bike. Picked it up used for little of nothing. She had been riding around the neighborhood for the last few days. This weekend she going to hit the open road with me.......

Now I won't be able to get away from her at all. She took up golf, and found out she like deer and duck hunting. Even found out all the fun she's been missing by going to NASCAR and SCCA races..........

Oh man..........guys help...!!!!!

I have met only one, in Hungary near the lake Balaton some 6 weeks ago ... I wanted to turn and follow him, maybe try to make him stop and take a picture, but it was not possible to turn for some 3km so I had to let him go :)

he had the blue one

Dealer in my town gets one to sell, maybe twice a month. They don't last long on the floor. I saw the new orange bike on the showroom floor, then the next day it was gone. I know it must be in the area someplace.

Overhere I spot a lot of GSX650F's.
Black and Black/gray
I seem to be the only one driving the Blue one....arround here.

:lol: I don't mind, makes me EXCLUSIVE .

I worked on EREN's bike too.
That's a black one.
I mounted Xenon H7 in 8000K with 2 PIAA leds
Looks great.

I'm gonna see him again on the 30th of may. :wink:
See if he got the LED taillight mounted (or not)

Same here. I have seen only one 650f like mine (blue one) since getting mine. Only it's been 90 days since I got mine. Actually, I saw it late in the fall of '08, so more like 200 days or so.

Also, gixxer guys do look at you like, what the heck is it!!!!
Too bad, so sad. they probably wish they had the "F".
I love my 650f. It still is the best bike I've ever owned.

took me a while to see another on the road as well.

Now i've see about 20 gsxf's on the road at various times. 2 blokes at work even ride them now , so the carpark sometimes has 3 in it ( all blue ones). 8)

It's surprising how similar the gs500f blue white lookes like a b-w gsxf's when passing bye.
