anybody buying a sportbike this summer?

i've been thinking about gettin a bike for over a year now! and i think its time to
buy one....im deciding between a Yamaha r1 or Suzuki gsxr 750 -1000 ..i goin to get one thats at least a 2000 or up.I been checking out ebay and i found a couple of r1s for under 3 grand. Im probably going to buy 1 either the end of march or on my bday in april.

I've been searching them on eBay all the time lately. Not sure if I'll actually buy one or not but I would love to own one.

No. I would like to live past 20. I would kill myself if I had something that fast... I dont really like bikes anyway.

Well I've been looking at getting an early '90's one so it won't look the best and it'll be cheap so if I drop it no big deal. Plus I wouldn't ride it on normal streets, just on the back country roads.

haha I WANT ONE SO BAD! I would do any thing for one! but me racing motocross and then mixing that with a street bike....not good. I would try and shift that thing like i do on my mx bike and it would be bad. I love bikes and will own one for sure someday soon. I just need to get out of that racing mood when im on bikes before ill trust myself.

I have always looked into getting one for the fact you get some of the best parking spots on campus if you own a bike.

Good thing you drive a V6 Camaro, power is one thing you don't have to worry about.
