Cool RX-8 Overshadowed by it's newer 04 sibling

Well guys and gals, I love my 8 to death but now I can't seem to get it out of the garage any more. It's younger sibling ('04 Suzuki GSXR 600) won't let me spend as much time with it. You can see how it won't even let me take it out of the garage. What's a guy to do?

I guess I'll just have to teach them to play with one another. Too many toys, too little time. Here's a picture of my wife's ride as well so I think I have all my bases covered.

If it was ALL about the power, I don't think I would have bought an 8. I bought the 600 for the same reason I bought the 8; it's a great all-around bike that is not only fast but also handles really well. Sound familiar?

While a 750 would have been a good choice also, I saved over $1000 with the 600. With an '04 Gixxer and an '04 RX-8, plus a recent purchase of a 2000 Honda Civic commuter, I didn't want to push my luck with the wife.

I paid just over 8 grand for it out the door. The Yosh can I got for 200 from a friend who had it on his '04 750. He upgraded to the dual tip full system for over 1.5 grand so I unloaded his bolt on from him. I also have carbon fiber sliders, carbon fiber rear turn signals, and carbon fiber like tank pad. I'll post more pictures with my 8 when I find a better place to take them...other than my garage. Thanks.
