Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

http://www.project-turbo.com/my%20bike

It's a 1992 Yamaha XJ600s Seca II, I found it on Ebay and bought it with money borrowed from my girlfriend (!)

Whaddaya guys think?? ;) ;D

This is the first motorcycle I've ever owned, and I just absolutely love it! I've been getting up an hour before work just so I can ride it, I learned to ride it myself last week Thursday (6AM, in the rain) and have been riding ever since.

If anyone's in the Milwaukee area and wants to go cruise, let me know!

How much did you get it for?

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

Looks pretty hideous.. I would suggest finding a body kit for it.

I hope u didn't pay more then $800 for it, I sure as hell wouldn't have paid more then $200

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

thats pimp ---- for a 92 :P

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

Hmmmm.... So you're not into the whole "naked bike" thing, ha? ??? Oh well it's not for everyone.

I paid 1900 for it because it's mint, runs perfect, and is BLACK! ;)

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

1900 for a 92 is a bit much.

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

yeah right....1900 is pretty average for a bike like that.
plus its a naked bike. naked bike = cheaper insurance! (the insurance company looks at it like, if you wreck it, its less to fix)

make sure you buy the safety grear for it....at least a helment and gloves and a riding jacket. owning the bike is just a small part of it. you should put another 600 into a helment, jacket and gloves. --try to get into a riders class to. be ready to go down....

sorry, I sound like your mom. but my father-in-law pounds this into my head. I dont think its a bad thing though...

Beginner bikes aren't suppose to be pretty.

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

I don't know much about bikes but that looks good to me. I'll leave it naked and buy some bike gear to ride with. Enjoy your bike. :)

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

a bike is a bike, especially for beginners, you might as well get prepared to lay it down a couple times, that's what a learner is for anyway.

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

I'm definately a friend of ferrings. I guess u got a fair deal for a standard? I personally think 1900 is a bit much, for a starter bike you could have purchased a much cheaper standard for half that price. But enjoy the toy.

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

I actually had the gear (HJC Sy-Max helmet, ICON tiMAX riding jacket) before I even bought the bike.

And yes, I know I will at least drop the bike sometime this season, so I've been extremely careful. I'm signing up for the MSF class this semester, it's only $60 AND they give you a beater ass bike to ride!

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

looks really clean, if i were you though i'd take off the upper fairing and make it totally naked like an sv. it'll look tons better i swear, and yes getting a bike like that is a good plan.
i bought my first bike about a year and a half ago and dropped it once, now about a month ago i upgraded to the new pimpness 8) '04 kawasaki zx6r 636 has 112 horsepower at the rear tire and runs the quarter in 10.5 seconds, get outta my way ;D bikes suck though in that they take away all your respect for your turboed car because they're just so damn fast right outta the box. ah well i'm not complaining:)

Re:Check out my new toy!!!!!
 

LOL that's exactly what I'm doing! I've already ordered a dual-round headlight from a Buell XB9S, and a pair of clip-ons to lower the bars quite a bit. It's gonna be total cafe racer/streetfighter style. Oh yeah, I'm building a high-mount dual exhaust for it too.
