jschaf Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've decided to let the CBR go & am looking at getting another bike. Since people on here find it appropriate to survey what color helmet they should buy I find it appropriate to ask the masses: What bike should I buy? Be advised, I may not take your advice. Bikes must be trackable & capable of demon releasing 500 mile street rides. Let's hear what you've got to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Tank over at Ride Ohio just put a 2009 FZ6R up for sale. Roughly 4000 miles. Looks like it has side cases and a top case. $3,500 http://rideohio.org/showthread.php?t=22092 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaf Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Considering the R model with soft bags & aftermarket wind protection. Concerned about limited dealerships & 9,000 mile valve checks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whaler Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Aprilia Tuono Factory or Yamaha FZ10 which would be much more reliable. Edited July 16, 2017 by whaler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ridden far, fast, or on a track. (I do want to get on a track one day.) I did give a ride to some cat food today! And the answer is white so my head will glow, although I really like orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Jim, Anything you ride is trackable. At your age I think that a Liter plus Adventure bike may increase your fun factor with the additional roads and trails that are open to you on adv's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim I was not going to say anything but since 2 people have now mentioned it. I rode with a guy on a 2015 S1000RR at Mid O and it was a sweet looking bike. He had nothing but praise for the bike.
