That bike is sexy! Too bad I can't afford two bike payments right now. Someday, I will have a garage with more than one bike in it.....

If it were me, I'd wait until I had at LEAST $3k saved up, but more likely $3.5-4k to get a reliable, comfortable, well-equipped sport-touring setup instead of trying to bottom-feed during seller's-peak season. "Sport" means to me that your buddy wants to get jiggity into the turns, which says you must have good bearings and tires. "Adventure" means to me that you want some off-pavement riding, and that takes longer suspension travel and most of those bikes (I have a couple) cost more than $2k if they're worth putting your life on 'em. "Touring" means to me that you want to travel longer distances, which to me strongly suggests reliability and fresh maintenance.

granny shiftin, not double clutchin like ya should!

The way you win any war is to inflict as much damage as possible until you break your enemies capacity to continue and their spirit to fight. It's not over until there is a surrender. Germany surrendered. Japan vowed not to surrender, but they did after the second atomic bomb. BTW, those two bombs prevented more YEARS of war and saved the lives of countless Marines who were preparing to invade the Japanese mainland. There was no surrender in Iraq or Afghanistan or Six-pack-istan. Those wars ended because enough politicians felt they were losing public support and therefore might not get reelected. So they said enough bombs were dropped and declared victory. The enemy was not destroyed. Those half steps created the next generation of terrorists. Terrorist groups and the countries that give them safe haven should be scared to death of feeling the wrath of the USA. Today, they certainly are not.

Nope...was not vicious at all, we are capable of much much more viciousness. WWII ended because we and Russia were vicious, and we cared much less about political correctness and collateral damage. Collateral damage is extremely unfortunate, but is necessary to ultimately win a war. Like has already been said, there is no right answer or solution.....however some strategies and show of force would in fact be effective. Keep thinking and wishing that these radicals won't continue to attack here on US soil, they will in fact continue to do so, and there will be another tragic event occur due to ignorance from not profiling and investigating individuals. Your president does not want to offend his brethren, and he has pretty much left Israel out to the wolves. Israel will not fuck around if push comes to shove, they will annihilate their enemies and not lose a moments sleep over it. We have become soft as a country, but our military is anything but soft and soldiers are chomping at the bit to wipe out Isis and any other group like them.

This thread is a perfect example of why we are in the mess we are in. Everyone wants to pin a bad guy and take care of that, but no one is paying attention to the details. It's Bush's fault for invading Iraq, its Obama's fault for not finishing Afghanistan. It's the Radical Muslims. Stop picking on the Muslims, they are mostly cool. You folks are thinking in terms of countries and religions. It is more complicated than that, and yet more simple. First, Western Muslims are for the most part cool. Even this most recent asshat went to Jordan...bet you hate filled donuts he was radicalized over there. And for the most part, Mid-Eastern Muslims are asshats hell bent on killing you. Even the Muslims in Saudi Arabia, and Turkey want to rip off your head and shit down your throat. The only reason they are not doing that is because we are propping them up and keeping the Iran's and Iraq's from killing them. Important point. Mid East Muslims hate everyone (like I do) that are not part of their TRIBE. Did you get that, there are tribes, and this is a HUGE part of it...more important than the Muslim angle. These asshat tribes have been killing each other since before your fake Christ walked on water. Iran, Iraq, Afgan and Lebanon are Shia...they are currently hell bent on killing you. Saudi, Turkey and so on are Sunni, and while they want to kill you they are willing to wait as long as we are killing Shia and propping up their governments with weapons and cash and food. This is FAR more about tribal dominance than religion and until we recognize that we are doomed to continue down the path. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. For now. As for collateral damage, they don't give a shit. They do not value life, they value death...if it includes Martyrdom. So when you kill their kids they celebrate that child's Martyrdom...and it gives validation to their lives...a life that is mostly defined by killing and hating us. Understand that, Mid-East asshats do not value life. Until you accept that you won't be able to address the problem. The answer is simple, pick a Shia country and fucking nuke it. Continue nuking Shia countries until there are no more, or they get the hint. At that point we will probably need to nuke a few Sunni's. Personally, I don't mind at all. When was the last time Israel whined about the Pali's firing rockets at them? It has been awhile, because not long ago the Israeli army invaded Paliland and killed them indiscriminately so the Paliasshats stopped rockets for awhile. Mid east Muslims can take a hint, you just have to hit them over the head with it. Very hard. Much like the people on OR.

I have seen some Gen1 FZ1's (01-05) selling for around $2600 - $3500 if he can scrounge up a little more cash. I have also seen plenty of that year Z1000 for about the same price range. Both are great bikes!

Keep an eye out for the first gen FZ1 too.

Or...she could could have listened to the police officers commands and never put either one of them in that situation.
