      I'm sure I will look exactly like Marquez by the end of the 1st session.

        Yea, maybe but the only way you won't be looking good is if your leathers are some clashing colors.

          Nice buy - have fun.

          Just be aware that those 6 piston calipers look good but don't really deliver.....I know a couple of guys local to me with GSXR1000's who have changed to 4 piston calipers for race use. You may be OK with a 600 though - not quite as fast/heavy.
