  1. I would say avoid the RRs. Yes anyone can handle something if they stay within their own abilities, but there is just the problem. Most people really don't know what their own ability is and most Supersport and Race Replica bikes have a very small margin between overpushing a limit and spilling. They will rarely give warning if they're starting to lose it. Don't assume you'll outgrow a 500 or 600 or 650 in a year. I've been on my SV for 3 years now and plan on running for even more. After doing some small changes to the suspension the bike is a blast and it communicates to me well when I'm pushing either my limit or it's limit. Despite what one person said before, the SV650 is far from a junk bike(I think motorcyclists did rate it as one of the best bang for your buck bikes new as well as it's a very popular track bike).
  2. I'd say hold off on getting a 20g as it does have a real large lag on spool according to a decent number of people I've known who've put it on their WRX. It's actually common thought that the 20g mates better with the STi engine and the 18g mates better with the 18g. I'd also say hold off until you do the improvement just because for all you know when you come to upgrading the engine a new shinier turbo will be out and you'll be regretting purchasing the turbo now.
  3. Just to make a quick and probably not really needed mention, the geocities link given on page 2 quotes "They teach us that 75% of the earth is liquid water" I would like to state that that is a misquote. The correct quote would be "They teach us that 75% of the earth's SURFACE is liquid water."
  4. If it manages to sell congrads! Hopefully it'll continue a nice long life.
  5. Welcome to the destruction of our economy?
  6. I'd say look into getting that transmission problem fixed as that's going to scare away alot of people.
  7. They were a set I bought from a friend. They could use some cleaning but are in pretty decent shape. Dunno what brand(wouldn't be suprised if they're knockoffs). Their weight isn't too bad. I'll try to get some pictures up if you're interested.
  8. beautiful bike. They'll last forever. I'd say though knock it down about 200 and you'll probably get more biters. I used to have an 84 that I sold for 1400 with a set of bags, though it had a dent in one of the pipes. Good luck man
  9. I think they usually go for around 200 for a set of rim without tires. I suppose fwiw I have a set of 17s I'm looking to sell off for 300 if you're interested(I've just really switched to stock rims on the WRX and stopped doing the summer/winter tires for it).
  10. Did the hood flop up on that thing on the highway at one point?
  11. Shoei ZR1, I am forgetting the brand name for some reason right now leather jacket, icon recon pants or Joe rocket overpants, Alpinestar boots, rather nice comfy gloves.
  12. If I had the storage space I'd so take it as a hooligan bike to go with my SV. Can always use a hooligan bike.
  13. Statistically speaking the highest point you have at getting in an accident on a bike is the first 6 months of having a permit and the first 6 months of having a particular bike. That's probably why the rates are triple what they'd be if you had a license over a permit.
  14. Progressive. I've also had an endorcement for 3 years and have been through both basic and advanced classes. They also reclassed the SV650.
  15. I pay 350 a year on my bike.
  16. You can thank the point that 90% of people will not take responsibility for their own actions to making insurance a requirement when it comes to driving.
  17. Not trying to play rain on your parade here, but NADA values put it at roughly 7k in high good condition, 6k for clean, and 5k for low. It's a great car though and good luck on it's sale.
  18. I just wear alot of windproof gear. Windproof + warm makes me a happy camper when riding in 32 degree weather on the freeway.
  19. I have both an 02 WRX and an 87 MR2 Also have an 05 Suzuki SV650S if you have stuff for bikes as well<G>
  20. I have a tower that I got off a friend. I believe it's a P3. Has a version of XP that's expired though it is able to run it fine. If you're interested you can take it for 30 bucks.
  21. Would the collectors edition work on an american 360?
