Driving back and forth, gas prices being what they are, I can't really afford a house. Yes, a bike would greatly help on gas money, but it would take a couple years to get all that money back out of it. If we had a longer riding season, I could more easily justify it.

Yeah, I know. Believe, me, I know.

Well, I will be and I won't be. I'll be happy that I have a bike, but unhappy that I spent money I really didn't have to spend.

For three grands? Sorry but I'd buy me up a used SV650 before I'd touch a Katana.

PS I thought that the late 1980s early 1990s Katana was the coolest thing ever.

What people need to know is that Cap'n's last bike was a '05 R6. Major, major, major downgrade!

Mr Lefty · 09-26-2008, 08:28 PM

how... did Yamaha release the 05 R6 originally in 1975?

It hasn't been THAT long since I've had a bike. Besides, I was only 1 1/2 in the summer of '75.

And Dlit is right about the downgrade. Damn near anything I can afford to buy (which ain't much) is a serious downgrade from that R6 that I had.

Mr Lefty · 09-26-2008, 09:56 PM

just give'n ya shit.

and well what do ya expect... the 05 R6 was a good bike...

though have you thought about it this way... you could save enough in gas money in a year to pay for the bike if you commuted on it

Here you go: http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/836151219.html Yamaha sportbike for less than $2K. Plus, it looks nicer than the '05 R6, and is way better than the Tuna.

Way better than the Tuna, yes. Better than the '05 R6, hell no. Looks cool as hell though.

Anything is a fucking upgrade from the bike he's riding now.
