Bike choices

[blackdog]

just because you've had a rough week with your boyfriend [/SIZE]

Enough already!

And I'm not riding a honda, so is this a pot kettle situation? Either way I am not arguing with you anymore. Maybe it's time YOU headed down to the local gay bar. Or you have already been there tonight, couldn't pick up and that's why you are looking for someone to beat you up on here?

Calling all leather clad honda boyz piratejafa needs a little company tonight.

Well considering that your personal ride "sucks, bangs and blows" according to you... I think that probably speaks for itself. Don't worry though, after three-ish terms of depressingly liberal government, I think that your sort are even allowed to vote now!

I'm not too concerned about maintenance - I'm decently mechanically-able, and with the manual, I can certainly do all the basic stuff myself.

Also, guys... snark/derail thread much?

You'll also find that KB has a wide range of mechanical sub-forums, for anything you want to attempt yourself that isn't covered in the manual. Or alternatively, they can advise you that XYZ job on the bike is probably not best to be attempted by a inexperienced yet enthusiastic amateur mechanic.

And gotta kill the time before work somehow, hah.

actually I think the best naked learner bike is the Scorpio.

So SteelPhoenix it sounds like you're pretty keen on the CBR, does this mean we'll see you on a Honda soon instead of the Scorpio? I guess you won't be storing that GSXR600 in the garage until you get your 6F then.

LOL. seriously. LOL.

VTR250. hands down.

Clothed, Aprilia RS250.

Buy something you'll be happy having your first big accident on.

[Spearfish]

So of the two bikes mentioned way back at the start was is the maintenance difference between them other than age related?

Yeah, I'll be on a Honda soon. Let the jokes begin. The guy I was going to buy the VTR from was not happy with my offer, so yeah, CBR for me... Hehe, finally I shall be able to hit something above 120, keep up with the big boys a bit better... Not that I'll be doing that much, of course...

Well, considering I won't be happy having an accident on anything, regardless of first/second/last bike...

Would be interested in knowing this too...
