zx3vfr Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 That was the reason for the sale of the Tahoe and vfr. So my only debt would be the mortgage once my wife's student loan is paid off come next March. Then I free up plenty of toy fund!Then why not wait and buy what you really want that isn't as old? If you want to drive down here next Wednesday you can take one of the bikes up to qsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the time to waste going to the back getting cash and showing up just for them to say no. If they don't want to take it then I'll find another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Pick up the FZ1 and become friends with Ivan.He has everything you need to sort that bike out. This is exactly what I was getting to say. I logged tons of miles on my fz1 as well as did some track days. Become friends with ivan. An ivans kit is the best way to make these bikes run smoothly. Mine never even needed the choke. Ever. Didn't matter what the temperature. Slight crack of the throttle, thumb the button and away she would go. One thing to check into is the second gear issue as mentioned. My fz1 had this issue. Worn dogs. the symptoms would never show itself until I was in the 7-9k RPM range. Once it would hit 7k, it would kick, as if the chain was skipping teeth. When I test rode my fz1, I never rode it hard. I recommend running it through its paces just to be sure. At the time, I ended up swapping a low mileage donor engine in, for less than the cost of parts to fix my 2nd gear problem. It was win win, as my bike had a large amount of track time prior to me getting it. I logged close to 30k on mine. If you have any questions just ask =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the bank NOW and get your cash out, so that when a steal comes along, you can jump on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence1 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm always amazed when people say that they'll give me cash like they're doing me a big favor. Look around my garage, there's no credit card machine and no bank teller. Cash is all I accept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zx3vfr Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe it's because so many people show up without cash. I had a guy come look at my old VFR without cash and threw a bitch fit when I wouldn't let ride it. Then he threw an even bigger bitch fit on the phone when he showed up at my work a week later after I sold it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whaler Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 There are still a bunch of people who think doing personal transactions with a check is fine. No cash; no ride, no offers, you get to walk. It takes 5 minutes to stop at the bank and come prepared. Come ready to buy or go home.

Wolfman1 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 ^This. I always bring cash. If I am selling, I remind the potential buyer its cash in hand for a test ride or don't bother to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I let people test ride my 998s and all the other bikes I've sold without cash in hand. If I didn't get a good feeling from them, I might have declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) How much do you actually get to ride, Brian? Your past purchases have kind of shown that you want what you want, but as infrequently as you ride, I would seriously suggest looking at the Ninja 250 or 300. Either will be dirt cheap to insure while it sits in your garage 350 days of the year, and there is always a solid market of new riders to sell them to in the spring. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, a 250 is as much bike as anyone needs for the street. You've sworn off track days, and I don't recall you doing any kind of touring that a 250 couldn't handle. What's the downside of giving it a try, and selling it if you don't like it? https://www.facebook.com/sofuoglu/videos/10153061453324599/ (that's a 250 single, but the point is the same...)

Bad324 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Can a 250 handle my fat ass? But my wife likes to ride along from time to time and no way a 250 would work. Whatever bike I may end up with next will be cheap enough that I'll just run liability on so insurance cost I'm not too concerned about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 250 would carry you beyond the legal speed limit just fine. a 300 would probably carrying your wife as well. Unless she enjoys much more spirited riding than my wife tolerates, I think you'd be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 a 250 or 300 doesn't give much "oomph" on the highway if you want to pass someone, though, does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
