If I do get a sport bike next it will probually be either a buell or a triumph.
I agree, vtwin itwin or bust.

Serious riders build 180 whp Hayabusas with 250 shot progressive systems.

It cost about 1100 including shipping to my door and interchanges with honda on alot of parts. Its the old 2006 model, but ---- atleast its new. So if I deciede I dont like sport bikes it wont be to big of a hit.

Re: starter street bike?
heres my bike I got it for $1100 too, and it only has 4k on it, some dude let it sit in his garage for 4yrs all it needed was the carbs cleaned, new battery and oil changed. I've added zbars, grips, mirrors, and a corbin seat so far.
