Tyres or new bike???

[aff-man]

Well i was thinking to myself i am about to spend $500 on a new set of tyres. Why not just put that as a down payment and get a new (ish) bike that will come with new tyres???? Hmmmmmm me will see what transpires later this week

Do you also you sell a car when the ashtray is full?

When do you finish your studies? Maybe get a set of tyres to last you until you can begin to service your student loan AND a bright shiny 600 on HP..

Well the thing is i am working for the next 6 months full time as part of my course........ so i dunno really. We'll see.

Yeah don't bother mate. You won't ride it much since you're working, money could be put elsewhere.

Yeah, but a set of good sticky tyres will transform your ZXR into a new bike, and if youre not riding much, think how long they will last?

Same question i asked myself, I'm broke so it was either get my RGV on the road, so for the 600-700 for rego and legal type stuff I reckon I can race for this year, next year I'll think about getting a road bike again.

Go the tyres, bike will feel like new, and then once they've half worn, sell your bike for $500 more than what you originally planned, leaving you with plenty of $$$$ for the deposit on your next bike!

My old man (retired) does that. New car when tyres wear out. Great to be some eh? The bastard!

I get new tyres when car wears out!

I normally get a new bike... which would explain owning 3 in the last 6 months...

i know how you feel.. xmas 03 i had the same prob.
i had an old 600ss which needed tyres, chain, sprockets and a service. about $1500. so i sold it... it was the best thing i could have done.
however, now i have the same issue. i need new chain/ sprockts, reg and a service.. but this time i think i will just fix it up. i dont think i could bring myself to sell the zed at the mo.

go the new bike...when i had my zxr750 i thought about getting a shiny new 600...well lets just say im glad i bought a 1000

the 750 is a nice tool but new tyres aint going to put its performance into the new millenia....guess at the end of the day its up2 you...what newish bike you after??

[Ghost Lemur]

Go the new bike.

Do you not like the bike? If so, get a new bike. But if you like the ride then just get the tyres. I plan on upgrading once to the Fireblade, but at present I cannot bring myself to trade in my CB

Ok here is the jist of it. I have been trying to sell this bike for 5K cuase i have had heaps of work done to it and it has quite a few extra's. But i want to try my hand at something bigger. I know it's a crappy way to go about it but i really wanna see if i can handel a 600. ( due to finances a late 90's 600 hopefully) If i don't like it i will go back to the 400 cause i like to chuck the bike around a bit. But once ...just once i want to get on the back wheel without using the clutch. Other than that i want to see how a 600 handels. If i don't like it after a couple of months i'll sell and buy as new a 400 as i can get my hands on (not new new but late 90's). I don't know what ill get though (looking at bike shop tomorrow ) hmmmmm how many test rides can i do on sat??

[Blakamin]
