Hey guys, I've been a long-time lurker on the SBN site, and I finally decided to stop BS'ing and get a bike!
So here's the deal - I took the MSF back in May, and had a blast! Graduating from school took precedence and I had to wait to get a bike. But now, I am finished with school and shopping for a bike. I've been riding a friend's CBR 600f3 sporadiacally, but I need to get my own bike! (He's getting sick of me stealing his bike every time he comes over!)
I know some of you won't approve of my bike choices, but these are the best deals I found for the money in my area. I guess I'll have to endure some flames... :twofinger
Bike 1: 2003 SV650S - 11K miles - been dropped once, lowspeed - $3500
Bike 2: 1997 YZF600 - 7.3K miles - never dropped, rarely ridden - $3500
I already talked with both owners, the YZF owner seems to be more on top of maintenance, sounds more experienced, but damn that SV sounds sexy! (not the owner!)
I'm meeting with the SV owner at lunchtime tomorrow, and the YZF owner after work. Then I'm going to get a full set of gear and start riding!
SO.... whadda ya think? Pros.... Cons... ?
