A F14 JET FIGHTER is what they should have named that bike ... thats a busa killer bike .... When i first took my son's Suzuki SV1000 for a spin , i had to take a look down at the engine ,trying to figure out where all that power was coming from ..... lol ... remarkable for V-Twin ......

If you want a new to you bike than buy it but I would recommend cash and buying used as well with low miles. Let someone else take the hit of driving it off the lot and it will drive better if you pay for it instead of following you around. I hate banghead debt :duh: as you might know so thats my .02

When it comes to that no debt thing you and I are kindred spirits-and yes it's no secret in the FZR world that Shooshine hates debt :thumbsup: . I had no intention of buying my next bike brand new much less financing (<-I hate that word) it. My Kawi was brand new when my girlfriend's dad bought it. I rode it home from the stealership and put roughly the first 50 miles on it so I know what a brand spanking new bike runs and feels like. A year later we bought out his loan on it so it's paid for. This won't happen for a few months anyway because I'm gonna ride more this summer than I did last summer and I'm still deciding whether to part the FZR out or sell it whole so we'll see.

Ok guys...Figured I'd give a little update to my mental dillema here. Not sure if anyone has notice I've updated my signature and it now only lists one bike-my FZR. Well the old man has been riding his former bike A LOT more than I did in my year of owning it. So I gave it back to him. The only thing I liked about the Z750 was the seating position that didn't cause my neck to hurt on longer riding trips. It has more power and EFI and I appreciated the throttle response.

I do plan on getting another, bigger bike to replace the 600 but I'm not gonna dwell so much on it. I'm gonna be keeping the FZR for now and will do some cleaning, updating, and modding while i have it. Once it's gone will I be done with FZRs? Not by far. I'll be keeping my eye out for a 400 (that will be 400 powered).

:shocker
