    I've been toying with the idea of getting rid of the gtp or at least demodding to get a ls1 car. I wasn't finding anything nearby that was affordable for me, so I started looking at bikes instead. I looked at a few Yamaha seca II's, a '95 CBR 600, a '97 FZR 600, and a few of these bikes. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics, I didn't feel like getting the d40 out. Anyhow the gtp is staying modded and even getting some nice stereo upgrades, because whenever the weather is nice I'll be putting around on this:





    It's 2004 gs500f, its got 61xx miles on it, a few scratches in the fairings, but for $1650 I'm not complaining []. Its also great on insurance, only costs $182/year, or $25 more than the gtp costs for a month, plus this thing averages about 60 mpg's...I'm pretty excited to start riding a motorcycle. I've been riding dirtbikes/mx bikes since I was 5 but the road is a whole different game.

    riding bikes is ALWAYS more fun than a car, even if its dog slow. good choice. learn how to ride well and then get something faster.

    u'll have loads of fun, I just got my motorcycle license 3 days ago, only took me 3 tries to get em too...lol test is pretty hard, take advice, READ THE BOOK! u'll need it to pass the test...

    I picked this one up in april for $2000, shes a lil old but a GOOD running bike

    '92 GSX-R 600



    Please remeber to respect the bike on the road, things can kill you just as easily and you get that thrill rush, but u've did MX so u should know

    also keep in mind that most of the time its not your riding that causes an accident, its other people. Be Safe!
