I was totally not expecting that! you are sooooo funny!Nightshade wrote:Turbine, look I know I flame you all the time and give you shit, but just listen to me. Buying a bike is a serious business (just like the internet) and it's good to see that you're looking at a small displacement bike.
Believe me when I say (because I'm completely serious) from one rider to another, that I hope on your ride home from the dealership on your new scoot that you get hit by a bus and killed.
Buying a new motorcycle.

Used to see lots of kids on real expensive rigs and they could never ride them to the fullest potential. The kids on the old beaters who had painstakingly hopped them up over time were always the best riders and the most involved in the scene.
now that's much nicer than the usual crotch rocket... you don't want all that plastic on a bike specially since it's your first...you'll drop it and you'd be spending hundreds of dollars replacing all the plastic covers you'll scrape/crack... but with a bike lke this you drop it get back on it and you hardly tell any difference.Turbine wrote:Not a bad idea. I was looking in to some Suzuki Bandit's and I can get a really nice, used one for around $3,699ish
Not a bad bike at all. Makes a whole lot more sense. Specially in the long run.

Does anyone here own a motorcycle, and what type?
I am buying myself a new Honda CBR 125 R
[lvlshot]http://www.werther.fr/goodies/hr/cbr-125-repsol-2.jpg[/lvlshot]
It is going to cost me $3,500 new. Not bad at all. Insurance is about $180/month
I used to ride an R6 did track days and stuff.
