you might as well jump from the 750 and get a busa... I don't think there's any girls on them. If they are, they aren't exactly "nimble" if you know what I mean.

And the wrecked bikes that I've seen lately, most of them the frame is fucked up. Even if it had a clean title, it's worthless. Even for track purposes.

[NO]

lowering it will make it handle like shit! you don't need to be able to flat-foot it to be able to ride it. you'll almost certainly have to get off of the bike to roll it backwards, but that's not a big deal.

yes, but she's 5'2". the bike will have to be at 45 degrees for one of her foot to even touch the ground... It may alter the riding characteristics, but what you get is a more comfortable ride and security knowing when you stop in traffic, you won't slip and fall easily because you're too short.

Don't pick a bike just to prove something, that's exactly how you're going to get yourself in trouble... pick something you're comfortable on. (i.e. don't get an RR) Anyway... imo the newer GSX-Rs are slick looking and considerably lower stock than the R6 & 600RR.

haven't done any research on how reasonable that price is, and the new ones look even sharper... but it's a start

Ok- on second thought... the bike is listed well under the low end of nada... which makes no sense for the description. ugh sorry. should've done my homework before I posted.

My roommate has a CBR 600 RR that he's looking to get rid of. It has a lot of work done to it. I don't ride, so I can't explain it all, but if you are interested I could hook you up with him. $6000 or less seems very reasonable since he got it for a fairly cheap himself.

I'm supposed to go check out a bike tomorrow night at 6pm. Would anyone be available to ride to Cary with me to check the bike out? I dont have a license and wont be able to ride it to make sure it's mechanically sound.

I dont expect anyone to do this for free since I probably dont know you, but we can work out a deal.

ur talking about the k100rs or the k100LT. my uncle had an LT.

the old k bikes had an inline 4 laying on its side longitudinally. its not a flat 4 which is horizontally opposed like a volkswagen air cooled engine or like a honda GL1200 goldwing. the GL1500 and 1800 are flat 6s

the new k bikes are oriented like most jap bikes but they are all fuel injected and shaft drive

i want 1 but will most likely have to wait until im 21 (parents are paying for my edumacation and i cant argue)

yeah, you sure told them. don't leave out the part about you being a pussy and renting a storage place for months so they wouldn't find out.
