I missed out on the black, already sold. :( Can't bring myself to get a yellow one?

Looking at an 06 in Portland, perhaps out of my $ range.

Thanks!

Same thing with me but I'm starting to get used to the yellow so I might consider one. A buddy of mine that races and was a writer for the AMA suggested that yellow makes you more visible on the road and every little bit helps.

They seem to be holding their value better in the Northwest, provided they are getting something close to their asking price. Good luck and happy hunting!

Someone may take advantage of you on the price, but it's worth it because YOU get to take advantage of the road.

Just bought a 04 black 599 with 7k miles! :D Will post pictures when I take possession.

Doesn't have a wind screen any suggestions??

Congrats! I'm assuming that you bought the asphalt dark gray color...

Do a search on the windscreen issue. 599s don't come with a windscreen, but there are several options depending on the year you have. Off the top of my head, Givi and Honda both make one.

Perfect weekend! My wife went down to Portland for a show; both kids were at friends for sleepovers! The weather was perfect and I rode all weekend! As a green horn it was a great learning experience! Rode the twistys to stop and go traffic.

My mantra as this point is practice, practice, practice! Smooth out the shifts! I have tomorrow off and plan to hit the roads early.

I was up till 1am Saturday night reading the posts and have learned lots! Have really enjoyed the forum!

Cheers!
