Re: who here has a street bike?
 

Thanks, I like it. I got it for a steal, $1800. The guy I bought it from just got laid off and was hard up for cash so I exploited the situation. O0

Re: who here has a street bike?
 

I had a cbr600. It was fun for a while....but after three surguries (wear a helmet), road rash, and many shatterred bones, I know I probably wont have a bike for a very long time, if I do it will be my dads new Fatboy. Harleys are badass

Be careful, I know alot of dead kids and almost dead ones including me (not my fault) bikes are dangerous and 80% of the crashes Ive seen were cause by people in cars not the actual riders.

Re: who here has a street bike?
 

Katana's suck, I have heard people call them a great starter bike, but i have never ridden one that was more than mediocre. I bought a Honda VFR750F new in 95, it was a great handling bike, very comfortable, albiet not the fastest bike ever. V-4, single sided swingarm, nice sound, etc.... I rode it two different long trips that covered 11 different states. Sold it in like 2000 for a little over $4k. I can't remember what Yamaha my buddy has, it's an 04 and with the mods he has on it, it is putting out about 180hp. Thing is insanely fast, scary even. Bad part about it is, he has it modded because on the first day he got it, he dumped it (not his first bike though, it was his third) and knowing people at the dealership got him a good deal on some sick parts. I have thought about getting another bike, but another buddy has a 01 gsx-r 1000 with about 2000 miles on it, he says I can take it whenever I want, he gave me the keycode to his garage and told me where he hides the key ;D Anyway, I digress, don't buy some POS bike because it is what you can afford and don't buy the fastest thing out there if you have never had a bike. Half the people on here can't drive 4 wheels, the thought of them on 2 scares me :-\
