Weeeeeeee Help me pick a new bike!!! (updated with pic!!)

[Labbedds]

So, with that whole raffle behind us all , I sold the bike yesterday and got spot on what I was asking for it.  NOWWWW I need to find a new bike and extinguish the fire which is the money burning a hole in my pocket.  THanks for looking !!!!!!!!!!

I'm holding off my vote until I know more about what you're looking for in a bike and/or hookers n' blow experience?

[Labbedds]

 , well, I've never owned a sbk before.  I rode a 999s and liked it but felt like a missle and maybe not the best bike for the city.  Ridden a DRZ400sm and thought it was underpowered but very light, liked the monster ergos and power delivery, hmmm.  Blow and hookers, wellll

I know Some Guy who has a S4R for sale Dirt cheap 

[Labbedds]

That would be "incredible"

My 848 is always accepting offers

I'm confuzzled.  I thought the raffle was going to happen to raise money for school and foreign travel.  Translation: needed to dump bike for beer money and a chance to get with a Scandinavian hooker.   You ended up selling bike instead?  No Scandinavian hookers?  What gives?

[ghostrider]

What do you want to do with the bike and why the interest in another monster. You just sold a very nice one?

[Labbedds]

Still going to europe, but still need a bike.  If I get a monster it HAS to be dry clutch.  And I wouldn't mind a motard to romp around on for a bit.

[ghostrider]

So get a Hyper, 1100 has a dry clutch, great around town and fun in the twistys. I believe johnc has one. care to give your views on owning one john?

When are you leaving for europe and how long will you be there?  If you're leaving in a few months and are planning on staying there for a year or more, go the 50cc + hookers route.   Why spend a big wad of cash on something that's just going to sit in your garage doing nothing for a long time?  Plus what happens when you end up in a scandinavian jail and need cash for bribes?

[Labbedds]

going for 3 weeks, and I'll bring the duc keys, hopefully they will get me out of jail if i can bribe them on the count of insanity via hooliganism

Aren't you in school?


Save your money. Forget the bike. Forget Europe.


Go put it in an IRA.

[Labbedds]

1 year wont' make much of a difference on starting the IRA as when I get into practice I can dump alot more money than what I have currently , i don't have a car as I live in the marina in SF, so a moto is my only source of transportation, no bike, no gf, no gf, no well you know, no well you know, then

Mmmhmm. I can bring the bike up on Sat or Sunday if you wanna take a poke at it.


If it's raining I won't guarantee it'll be clean when I turn up.
