So, for barely more than the cost of doing exhaust, intake and chip for the 335i, I made the decision to buy a toy for myself instead.  Saving a lot on gas now!

Do yourself a favor NOW.  Put a slip on.  Your enjoyment will go up.  Nothing like the sound of an uncorked sporting twin!!

Nice ride!!  How's the insurance??

Insurance is very reasonable since it's a "sport touring" bike.  My brother bought and SV as well and he's got a Yoshimura slip on on it.  Sounds amazing.  I'll get one eventually.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a new CBR250 and kitting it out to race in a lightweight sportbike class....

Cheap...and fun!

Define reasonable for me if you will please GD. I'm curious I know. Neighbour two doors down from me got herself a Harley and when she brought it home I helped her unload from her truck. She bought it used in Windsor and it is very nice- Iron 883 in a 2006 vintage.

Sounds terrific and we got talking about it and it seemed like maybe I should do this. At least I would have someone to go riding with. Well the family voted and every one said no. And besides since I do not have a licence to ride a bike and trying to find a company that would insure me, meant it was not going to be a cheap re -entry. I last rode in my 20's. Now that I am a Junior Senior - it would be expensive, painful and maybe even fatal. Darn.

So what does insurance run these days - just in case I win the lottery and have second thoughts! ;D

Oh I might add this is no ordinary lady that I live beside. She is a grandmother and last year was accepted into the RCMP and went to Regina. After six weeks she opted out, but golly she is one tough lady in my books to have even tried and got in is outstanding.

That was the bike I was planning on the last go round but I got such a great deal on the FZ6 I couldn't pass it up.

Congratulations! They're a terrific bike. :thumbup:

In my mind most certainly!!

The most hero thing I ever did was race a 4 hour endurance race....by myself...on an FZR400R.

FZ6 was on my list also, along with the 599 Hornet. 

Inco, for me, it's a grand a year all in for insurance.  Figuring that was reasonable for a noob.

HOLY :censor:!!  SuperDuke 990 not blacklisted?  That's pretty insane.  It's an f-ing rocket!  Duke 690 I miss terribly.  Hypermotard I want.  RS125 is a hoot!!  But hard to find and expensive.  FZ1 is crazy quick..And FJR1300 is a freight train!!  VFR800 is a VERY nice bike.
