Thinking about getting a bike..

Who here has experience w/ them?

For the record, it would be a "at home from college" toy, and I'd sell the GN.

My GN has hit its last straw in my hat. Today the HG blew and I'm about fed-up with this thing. I know its a friggin bike ride, but when it runs only half the time, its not-so-pimp.

Im thinking about getting a bike, any suggestions?

How good of a bike could I get for 8-9k?

I'd look at Honda CBR 600's. They are in that price range for a brand new one. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

[lostsoul 10+ year member]

so i guess everyone here are crotch rocket guys

 

[marleyskater420 5,000+ posts]

Rocket.

Not that I dont like choppers, just I dont like that the long-arm stretch on some of the cruisers, and I like the speed and handling of the rocket.

Ill debate this more.

Plus/downsides to a bike, if you already have a 4dr car?

I think I need a brake from cars. Evan wants more money for his car than I wanna spend/will have after I sell mine and payoff the ******.
