I feel people buy too much motorcycle and end up not having much fun. Buying the ninja 500 after the tiger sport 660 was great for me because it letvme learn and forced me to shift more. It made it much easier to progress my skills and really grow to enjoy the 660

These fools buying 1000cc BMWs and not even taking em to the track. $30k toys on a 9 to 5 salary.

I could never spend that much on a bike, they're toys. Well I take that back, I'd buy one of John Wick's Arch motorcycles, but that only if I had money money.

Sold my s1k today, feel weird about it but the check back was nice. I enjoyed my time with my bike but I'm thinking if I ever get one again I gotta go Busa.

What made you sell it?


At least y'all can afford corvettes n shyt. I wouldnt even be riding if I could pull a C7 Grandsport with the manual. I could go C6, but just thinking about having another car note aint it. Id be paying $550 - $650.


I need to hit $150k or go crypto or something.

Low key if you *really* want a Vette most dealers in the Midwest get their trades, and is right before the winter, or right before a new trim level or new Vette comes out (they're usually priced to move too because no one buys those cars during the winter there) That's the one sports car where 90% of them have been dealer maintained by the Corvette tech at the dealership it's entire life, it's got super low mileage and it hasn't been abused. There was a dealer outside of Cleveland that had a last gen Z06 in the low $50's with less than 6k miles on it that sat on it for over a year because it was blue and not black/red/white/yellow.

Sidenote: a surprising amount of construction workers in those parts of the country will sell their toys they purchased while working as a private sale because they need the money during the winter when the snow is on the ground and they aren't working. :wow: :manny:

The plan was always to sell when the warranty expired, which would've been December of this year. So I just got ahead of the curve, figured it'd be impossible to ride until April and then I only get a few months to ride before Id have to sell. Saved on the note and insurance by just selling it early. Which was a great idea cause it snowed literally a couple days after I sold it.

$50k isnt anything to balk at either. Ain't financially responsible to take out a loan for someone making less that $100k. Its retarded actually, folks out here down bad tryna keep up.

it's 30's 40's 50's here in north atl and i still see folks on their bikes. i used to be jealous, but unless you have heaters everywhere i can't see riding in that weather. takes the pleasure away.

windchill is a mfer. can't operate controls, shift, brake, or turn your head right cause it's too damn cold. my cutoff is min 55f and sunny with no wind. other than that i'll wait until it warms up. i'm good.

also tired of dudes asking me about quiet helmets. ain't no such thing. get earplugs.

If he had the money and was serious I'd let him use my logins to see what the dealers are selling them for at Mannheim, etc and make a bid.
