Default Which bike to get...
Ok so I have really narrowed it down... I'm selling my FJR, the Gixxer will be track only now. So I still need/want a street bike to ride around. So here's what I'm thinking...recently crashed or hell of a deal 600 or I'd really like to try this whole liter bike thing. Then get a dirt bike too. Or maybe get a Dual Sport and go looking for some muddy trails in WVA. Or maybe just a dirt bike and a cheap street bike. Or maybe a 08 CBR 1000...i really dig those. But spending 9k on a bike that's most likely not going to look so nice when I'm done with it doesn't make sense. Or maybe get a couple Ninja 250s to play around on...then my wife could ride one too. Or maybe a cruiser...like a Rocket III? Without the FJR we cant ride two-up anymore...we're going to miss that. Oh a '97 Vmax...that looks fun...but you can't lean it over....so maybe a 250 as well? Maybe a 250, a dirt bike, and vmax.

I'm really close to making a decision....ohhhh here's a good deal on an 06 gsxr 1000.

Get a GT bike like a XX, Busa or ZX14. Fast, easy to ride, 2up is so easy, comforable. Don't get bikes like gsxr, zx10, R6 or rrs for the street, they have no place there.

You didn't really narrow it down much after just listing every kind of bike made. So you'll have the trackbike, and plan on getting one for the streets...What about a Ducati Monster or SV1000? Good ergos and with a twin you'll have plenty of fun.
