ya, that's what I'm thinking. I'm still reserving room for holding off until I have enough to buy an older sv650.... or maybe something like a used 600ss.
Oh and things went great with Kos! We met at Ohio Motorcycle off 271 and just talked bikes for awhile, kinda Q&A. Then Scott decided to show up so I could get a look at his ride in the sunlight so that was nice.
I'm just not sure if I'll have $1800 to put into it.
-
Haha. I appreciate he help and input, but, for a 250 ninja $1800 is just not within my price range. I'm gonna have to say good luck selling it. It's my loss anyway right?!
-
I'm on a tight budget, and for an '04 250 that's got some scratches from being tipped I'm a little hesitant.
-
oh thnka sman! haha I didn't notice till you said something. It's still the morning and I'm still a little out of it! Ya the listing was taken down so I guess it might be gone, either way, it was a nice bike.
-
Is this bike still for sale?! and Justin0469, would you be willing to help out with the work needed to get the bike running again or are you passing it off as the buyers responsibility?!
-
hey natedogg624. I really like your offer, but, being an older bike that has been used on track substantially I'm a little hesitant about your But, Where are you located at?! Is there any way I can come by and look at the bike?!
-
I really like the bike, but, you're asking price is pretty high, I'd think about it a little more seriously if you could bring the price down a little
-
well.... i'm really interested in scott's katana, b/c most other bikes I'm looking at are either too shady, need too much work, or are just plain out of my price range.
So i'm still trying to look around, but, scott's ride so far woudl be my best option.
Maybe if I find a cheap sv650 in really good condition I might go with that. I'm still lookin around and I do have time. So I'm just trying to figure out exactly what I'm looking for and within what budget, keeping in mind gear and insurance, plus unexpected maintainence and repair costs.
-
thanks. appreciate it. ya i'm really interested in scott's katana, most other bikes I'm looking at are too shady, need too much work, or are just plain out of my price range.
But that guide definitely helps out with some of the basics
-
noted uncle punk! I'll keep my diet to normal foods for a growing boy my age. and you guys are still great! no busa for me though, no thank you! haha well I'm about to hit the sack before my morning with kosmo tomorrow. gotta get some sleep by counting off wooden-fence jumping katana 600's in my head. night to all!
-
Ya, after straddling scottb's katana 600 I realized that I'm definitely gonna be somewhat limited although the bike was in superb condition and just felt like it might be for me. I don't wanna jump at it too soon without looking around more b/c I know you all love to hate on "Craptanas" but, it was a beautiful bike. I'll let you all know how my morning with kosmo goes tomorrow!
-
well at least that's great publicity for the bike. we'll see we'll see. either way with everyone's help I don't see how i can go wrong with any piece of advice offered!
-
that dude - i appreciate the concern, but don't worry man! i've got a great head on my shoulders. right now i'm lining up some major scholarships for college next year and know I won't have time to work enoguh to get a bike when I'm down there, so I'd like to buy one before I'm off to the greatest 4 years of my education. that way, I'll have the bike to play around with while i'm down there rather than running around desperately trying to find one! oh and once again major props to scottb! scottb - about to grab dinner with the 'rents right now and i'll give you a call after i'm stuffed.
-
how bout me 1000rrrider?! i'll wear the wig for compliments if i have to! but anyway, you'll all be pleased to know that fellow OR member scottb has been nice enough to offer to have me come over and look at his bike either tonight or tomorrow morning so i'll get my first chance to have a face-to-face talk with one of you morons! (just jokin') We'll see how many times I cream my jeans drooling over his piece of machinery!
-
nightrider - I'd love to indulge you with the wig, but, if I ever do ride with you, by that time i'll be too fast for you to catch me long enough to get the wig on me! haha
-
am i really that small in terms or sport bikes?! i thought i could at least fit on a 250/500 ninja, katana, or sv650.... are my options more limited than i thought?!
-
5'7 135.... so i'm pretty tiny (but i've got a big heart to make up for.... wait. scratch that. i've got a hidden can of whoop ass waitin for ya) but, ya, I am a smaller guy, but, any of the bikes that i've or others have mentioned as possible first bikes should fit me shouldn't they?!
-
Jbot - although go karts is pretty much completely different physics driving-wise.... going 60/70 mph 2 inches behind the kart in front of you, just sitting in a seat 1/4 inch off the ground with no seat belt does have to count for something i guess! No more 4 wheels and a board for me though, i've got my eyes on 2 wheels and a stick, and the sv650 sounds puuuuuurdy nice now that you put it that way.
-
shows you how much i still have to learn! anyone have an sv650 they wanna sell?! haha, theres a lot around, but i'd rather buy from an OR member, i'm quickly starting to like you guys (even you too JRMMiii )
-
Nice bike man. You've REALLY got my interest. I've posted a thread up earlier and had people dukin' out over whether a ninja, katana, or sv650 is best to start on, but, this bike sure does look pretty! Bike ever been down?!
-
Benyen Soljax - Wow wow wee wa! thanks for that! I like! big speazy - how many miles?! ever been down?! was it ever a track/stunt bike?! how mach?!
-
haha. ya thanks. my helmets actually in really great shape and only has a few scratches or blemishes at all, so "cosmetics" is not an issue (HA! proof to all you out there that think i only care about looks!) And I definitely plan on getting a jacket, gloves, and maybe boots. I'm unsure about what to do about pants. Many say jeans are adequate but I'd rather have my legs intact if i go down hard rather than coming out with 2 nubs that look like a dogs check toy. Oh, and when I do take the MSF course, will they provide me with gear if I'm lacking?!
