This is one is sick, but its salvaged title.

Yeah my bad, don't touch that. You might not be able to insure it.

This R6 looks sweet: http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/mcy/4129895405.html

 

[Matty]

The only reason I don't have an R6 right now is that it would cost me $4k to insure. Ima get one in a couple years when the rate drops to ~$1.5k

How about these?

Maybe I should just get a cheap beater at first..

Forget about the Ninja 250 and 500. That 636 looks amazing. CBR looks like a good deal too.

Like I said, check the insurance. That'll pretty much dictate your first purchase. Rates tend to drop a lot after a couple years.

 

[Blitty]

Oooh. This looks perfect.

Then you're a prime candidate for the CBR600F4i. Just expect to spend a little bit on regular maintenance.

The body styling and colors on those is a bit aggressive..

This thing is beat up to hell. There's a reason the price is so low.

That black matte R6 you posted is my favorite so far. I would drop 4-5k on that.

Think I should practice on a beater for 6-12 months first though.

The gsxr? It's an 05' and the guy seems desperate to move.

 

[Matty]

The tank is not original, the fairings also look aftermarket, the front forks sit too low and probably need maintenance, you're gonna get hassled by cops because of the ultra-loud Yoshimura exhaust, etc.

This bike has been abused. I would go look at it but just cause I like fokking with stuff.

Totally.

Good point. I don't want any aftermarket parts on anything I get at first.

 

[Matty]

Used, stock sportbikes are extremely rare. Yoshimura exhausts are a douchebag must. My neighbour has one on his CBR250R. : Guess what pal, you're still riding a 25hp lawnmower.

 

[Blitty]

mad decent. except for the ghey skull sticker

[Matty]

Yah, that's a lot of bike for the money. I would totally buy that if/when it becomes affordable to insure.

 

[Blitty]

I just called the guy. He said he would take a few hundred off. So I'm guessing I could get for $2400 or so..

He sounded kind of seedy. I'm guessing all bike people are seedy.
