Pulled a Kurt last night and researched the fuck out of the MSX. I think at this point I'd rather pick up a Grom than make a Café Ninja after I fix the car. Looks like way too much inexspensive fun to pass up.

That mx bike looks damn good except for that flame skull graphic kit. Those thing always say "douchey redneck" to me lol

One of my friends has a 2005 GSXR 600 black/red he'll sell me for $2,000. Has new chain/sprocket and new tires. 11,000 miles, previously dropped on left side by the owner before him. So left side fairings are scraped up but he says nothing is affected but the fairings. He rides it all the time. I don't remember how it looks as far as damage i'd check it out. Speedometer doesn't work and he says he probably put about 1k miles since the speedo stopped working. Not sure what would cause a speedo to stop working though. Worth 2k? This is only picture on facebook. Shows nothing lol. I feel like 2k for a bike like that is to good to pass up. But i'm not 100% sure? I know someone with a 2007 CBR 1000RR with 3k miles I can get for 6k and it's pretty mint. Not sure if I want to buy the 600 and miss the 1000rr or try to get 1k more and get the 1000rr. Lol. Good thing about getting the 600 for 2k is that i'd have money saved still and have money to play. If I bought a 1000 i'd be broker than shit for awhile

The speedo is broken? How the hell does a digital readout break? (serious question)

If anything buy the Gixxer, get another gauge cluster off eBay or someone parting a bike locally, then sell the bike for a profit.

I've read on a forum there's a speedo rotor on the front sprocket and is a common problem. But it could always be the cluster or speedo sensor.

This is one time I will say you should decide, I'm picky as hell when it comes to bikes, The slightest little "design flaw" can damn near ruin a bike for me but given the prices I'm not sure myself, The gsxr being 2k kinda sounds a little suspicious but he may just want rid of it for all I know but the 1000rr has barely been ridden and that's always a big plus.

If it was me, As much as I hate being broke I'd buy the fireblade no question but the gsxr is said to be more fun on the track and it weighs 33lbs less than the blade.

Like I said you should decide which one you'd rather have.

Got some big plans coming up in the middle of June, will be going out to Washington for a long while and I'm planning on bringing all my bikes with me.. Anybody know if it's worth it to try to ride up there? Or for the summer time, very worth it?

So you can buy Motogp bikes :lol:

The Rc212v had a track version and a street version, It was priced around $100,000




And the rc213v is between $110,000 & $120,000 but no confirmed street version



And this is a goldwing fireblade hybrid :wtf:

What's up guys. Got my first bike a week ago it's a Kawasaki Elimiator 125cc. Got it from a friend for $500 it needs a new fuel switch and a chain tensioner. The parts should be here this week.

I'm looking for a helmet that will be dot legal for the bike but also ok to use in auto x or other racing as I'm working on getting a miata hopefully soon. Any ideas? Or will I have to have separate ones
