SSplaytoy Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I guess I am in just one hell of a money spending mood. I am dying for a motorcycle but would love to have my truck run 12's on 22's also. What the should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 well if your in the spending mood why not get both! or buy a used bike and spend the rest on mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted October 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I wanna get both but I am not filthy rich. I just have some extra spending cash. Not shabby for my age though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVerspeek Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I would go for the R1, or in my case offcourse a CBR FireBlade... I guess it's better to have more toys then just 1 complete.. And what is complete after all. Our toylist is growing slowly but steady. Now 2 cars, 2 motor cycles and a pocket bike. Super Motard on its way...

m396 #00-011 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I would love a bike, but the reprocusions keep me from one. With the SS and the Vette, I don't need anything that could cause my insurance to increase. Myself, on a bike, it would just be a matter of time.

Serious Black Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 get the bike... it's better to have and not need it, than to need it and not have it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I would say do both also, but if you are gonna get a bike you should realize now, that your gonna crash eventually, even if you are a great rider, it just happens. So make sure you have a good insurance company, because bikes are expensive to fix, but at least by going with a Yamaha, they are the least expensive to fix. Honda is most expensive to fix.

r8rs4lf Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I say get the bike! Although I love my SSS, it will never give me the kind of feeling that a bike will, especially the acceleration! I'm all about instant gratification! Here's mine..... Serious Black, Nice Busa!

SSplaytoy Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I think I will do both. I found someone with an 04 R1 who has to get rid of it because he's moving into an apartment. Says he'll cough it up to me for 7k! I am sold. And the rest of my truck is somewhere around 6k for rims and engine work. Thanks for the opinions.

marc_w Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I used to be big into motorcycles, but they really lost their flare with me lately. I've got a 2000 R1.. had it since new. Been riding the street for 10 years now. The bike is fun, but it's not THAT fun when you compare it to a 250cc two stroke motocross bike. With the R1 - it's VERY hard to legally have fun. It beats me up when I drive it around town. Boring as hell on the highway, or commuting. It's a fun wheelie bike, but that's playing russion roulette - you're bound to either crash or get busted. The dirtbike - After you've found a legal riding spot: Wheelies in every gear, anywhere and anytime you want. All day long. Stoppies too. Crashes? Who cares? I cartwheel my dirtbike once a ride - pick it up, kick it, and try that thing again. ...and then there is jumping. The dirtbike absolutely scares the CRAP out of me every time I ride it. The R1 - it's a pussycat. It's boring unless you're doubling the speed limit. I'm going to either lose my license or injure/kill myself on the R1. It's got to go. There is no doubt the dirtbike contributed to my crazyness on the R1... but... I'd definitely put a vote in for a dirtbike instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrow Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Although not the worst thing to ever happen, I got a reckless driving ticket on my motorcycle about 2 weeks ago for doing 120 in a 70. It's probably going to cost me $500-$600 after it's all said and done not including what my insurance will do. I like the speed but after "wasting" that much $$$, it makes it not as much fun anymore. Granted the same could be said adding more HP to the truck. I see the appeal of dirt bikes, I just don't like getting that dirty and muddy then getting into my vehicle. I'd say go for more SS power so you can use it everyday. (Never thought I say that over a sportbike). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
