How do you guys consider that 130 on a bike is not fast?

Well obviously it is fast, but on a smooth straightaway and with decent suspension it really feels not much different than 85. That's if you stay in the tuck position of course. Back, during my college days, when I had a GSXR crotch-rocket I've had it up just shy of 130. I was way more concerned with getting pulled over than the I inherent danger of the actual speed. One time I was doing over 120, slowed way down for a bend in the highway, and got nabbed by a trooper. Luckily, he only clocked me at 80 on radar, but was cool enough to ticketed me for 75 (speed limit was 60).
 
Interesting,which gixer did you have?

Thanks. I loved the color of that bike. I had a buddy that had a CBR who persuaded me to buy the used Gixxer. I've never even ridden a motorcycle before, so my buddy got it home for me. First test ride in a large empty parking lot resulted in me laying the bike down in its side. Marred up the right side quite a bit, but got to experience the pleasure of standing a motorcycle back up.....mind you, I was only about 155lb at the time, but I got it upright on my own

Crazy to start on a 600.

I was persuaded by my buddy that the 600 would be fine......since he started on a CBR900 LOL
 
I was told by my buddies and co workers that due to my size a 600 would be a good starter bike.
