Hey man I have an 87 hurricane. the first thing i had to do was replace the fork seals. You just gotta find a good dealer. Honda specific preferably. I ride my honda everywhere and its a blast . And checking from this months Cycle World comparison your not going to get a better bike for the buck! I paid 1200 cash for mine and it holds its own. It was a little much when i first got on it, but i keep finding room to improve, even on a 20 year old bike. The comfort is awesome as well. DONT SELL IT! Just keep it going until you get a car. I rode all year with out a car in mid missouri and it was the best thing ive done financially as a 21 year old. I finally got a honda passport to drive during the winter, but you wont go wrong with keeping that bike. 8)
'94 Vulcan EN500 ....awesome first bike!
'87 CBR-F 600 Hurricane.... nice!
On judgement day we will give an account for our lives. what will we say? I know one thing...JESUS IS THE WAY!!!

[quote="Now though, I don't need to commute to work in a car, I live downtown in Portland Oregon, and work there as well. The alternative is no bike, and the withdrawl is rather unbearable.[/quote]

If it's just for a commute to work in a downtown environment, why not consider a scooter? Nice little Vespa etc.

My motto:

If your not in debt your not living to your potential!!!

2006 gsxr600 (8k owed)
2002 ford focus (7.5k owed)
school loan (18k owed)
minor loans (2k owed)

umm i think thats the extent of my debt! :D

so its approx 51.5k man im doing well!!!

The question is not how much you are in debt...but OMG what are your interest rates on the last few loans you got? They are either around or above 10% or you are drinking buddies with an underwriter.

I would sell the car and get a bike.
I used to live in Portland, OR. There is really no need for a car there! The lightrail comes every 10 minutes, there are TONS of bus lines, you can walk anywhere downtown...the only thing I used my car for was grocery shopping (or going out of town). You can rent a car there by the hour as well :P. Most people I know there dont own a car.
