Upgrade advice: Thoughts on these super sports bikes?

[Tazz]

So no go on the MV? CBR seems like a good second bet. Probably something you'd worry a little less about when you park it in town and the like as well, but definitely doesn't look quite as awesome.

Did you enquire about insurance for the MV? What was the go with that? Expensive? Would have to be about on par with the 1000cc CBR though yeah?

Well it's a Honda and Hondas are ghey....so a CBR 1000 and bodybuilding; people may get the wrong idea about you

What's with the homophobia? Just like women, gays have standards, so someone like you will have nothing to worry about (probably from either sex XD) I'm sure.

You can park either in town just the same, insurance is insurance.

No homophobia at all.......men have standards too...some prefer no to ride Hondas

Dude, you're riding a 650... that makes you gay!!! :P

Crushed If I alternate between a 650 and a 1000 will I be bisexual, metrosexual, or just confused about what I like to ride?

Looks tidy but get it checked out and seller to throw in radar detector as you'll need it.

Will do but still negotiating with the seller and he's currently overwhelmed by the numbers of offers he has received so he has declined my offer of 7k for now. Thus I will keep watching it and re negotiate with him again in next week or so if the bike is still around.

Looks very clean and tidy. The price is neither here nor there... you'll be able to work out a deal if you want to buy and he wants to sell. Have a look at some 8 year old GSXRs with 40,000km and you'll see where the extra money goes

As above and yes your'e right about the extra cost for an 8 year old GSXR..

No go on MV as the seller is quite firm on his buy now and I'm not super keen for it cos its a Momoposto model and I really want a Biposto and I still havent had a chance to research about the insurance I could get for one of these bikes so I guess I will do that just before buying the bike ( maybe a week before ) so that I could get the proper quote depending on the year and the model of the Bike.


P.S- the GSXR 600 guy has come back to me with 9 k for it but I will still have to re register the bike etc. So I guess I will have to pass on this one also.

nice. Guess that could be flipped to say it is really Hondas that have standards too =P

Fair enough. Going from what I've read it's probably not an ideal 2up bike anyway if that is something you'll be doing a bit.
What kind of figure were you offering him?

Something will pop up dude. Plenty of bikes out there.

You can park either in town just the same, insurance is insurance.

Didn't say you COULDN'T park it in town =P People just like to damage things they're jealous of sometimes, and an MV sticks out. I'd still happily own one though =D
And insurance can be a big issue depending on the age and record of the person, that's all.

[imdying]

I guess, if you're paranoid. Damage, theft, run over by bus, insurance covers all of that.

Remember than an MV only sticks out to motorcyclists, to everybody else it is just another motorcycle. It's not like a Ferrari where it's a universally recognised symbol seen all throughout pop culture.
