I went through a similar dilemma. My thoughts were as follows when I purchased my CB: I didn't need a speed machine as I still had the R6 in the garage. The CB's sole purpose was literally a beach cruiser. I would take it as often as I could to the beach or into town or to work. I wasn't looking to tear up the turns or break any records. Plus, a big bonus was that I could still wring its neck out and barely be above the law. If I wring the neck out of my R6 and get caught, it would almost certainly be jail time. I enjoyed pushing the limits of the CB while still being within the limits of the law (somewhat). The CB is a timeless machine and I love the way they look especially when modded or cleaned up a bit. The CB also has a HUGE following which meant there was help in every corner of the internet as well as access to parts both used and aftermarket. I preferred a twin over a four cylinder as I really desired that grunt and sound that a twin makes. It had enough power to still beat most cars off the line and up to 65. It wouldn't be a long distance highway machine, but could handle it if required. A CB is a good value. There is a large market for cafe bikes. I purchased mine for $800 and sold it for a profit at $1200 having put nothing into it except fuel. If you did decide to part ways, you could most certainly make your money back or more. I rode an RZ350 for a summer in high school and it was an extreme blast. I think the reason I sold the CB is that it wasn't the rush I got from the two smoke RZ.

Good info. Maybe we'll shoot for the lake inlet instead.

Cool deal. Got a few friends with big ponds up here to give this a shot.

I personally think the second Triumph pic is tits

His reality tv show is probably getting more viewers than the actual races...

I'll get some more women's gear in the queue to review and post up for the ladies.

Looks good MJ! Thanks again.

Wonder what spring rate he's using? #lamemotorcyclejoke

Did your engine walk away rusty?

03-05 r6 had coil issues. perhaps that gremlin is coming out now?

This will be good.

KTM/Desmo/STT/Lizard-Brian's got that covered already.

I think they have that same video was every different genre of music possible dubbed over.

We like it. Couple issues when you really start pushing the limit of this bike, but not something the average joe will ever need to worry about.

I'd put Macau up there too.

OK what about not using 6th gear while towing with a midsize FWD and auto trans?

much more quickly, no, much more faster. nah fuck it, much more quickly awesomesauce.

Thank you, I passed the info along.

PM your contact info please, friend interested in a/some parts.

watch long way around and long way down. become more inspired. go from there.

for first time track days, i would not get an EZ-up. you're just dipping your toes and don't want to dump a ton of money into it so i would advise waiting a couple trackdays before you really start pouring money into with EZups, gennys, warmers, etc. There will be plenty of people from this board going to any of the trackdays you have planned to pit with and save on those costs.

no plugs on track

it's too early for popcorn on a sunday.

I liked the cut to Rossi after that scene, "ehh, yes, i did not like this very much" lol

I'm just glad TSwift didn't sweep everything possible for her.
