New Member, 08 Black 650R
Hi all! I picked up a new 08 Black 650R on Saturday. 7700OTD with everything. 5599 plus all their assembly sh*t etc., taxes, etc. I am in the Chicagoland area with snow on the roadways right now, so am having them hold it for a couple of weeks or however long it'll take to thaw the roadways somewhat. I will attach some pics.
I had an 07 KLX250S as my first bike last year. Alot of fun and a great way to learn to ride--in the woods avoiding trees. I was in New Enlgland then but now am in the city-type area, so a road bike is better for me. And the KLX was not good for tollway riding. I can't wait to get her going!

Probably the first mod will be a simple 12V powerport. Somewhere in the dash area (I'll search the forum to see where others may have found a good spot for it). First will be used for my Garmin GPS. I think I'll be getting a smaller tank bag with a clear map window and put the GPS in that clear window. The battery only lasts a couple of hours and I plan to be cruisin this baby as much as possible. I have a feeling I will be leaving the exhaust alone--my truck has Flomaster 40 on it and that already wakes my neighbors. I don't think I have to wake em again with the bike as well!
Being in Chicago, I probably will get heated gloves to extend the riding time, so the port could be used there (I assume they use a standard 12V power port).

Very nice, I'm looking at an 06 650R with just about 900 miles on it. Welcome!
