I duno at this point. A late 80's FZR400 is my first pick. Maybe a FZR600 from the same year. But really the first semi-decent bike i can afford that pops up in uncle henry's. Just... can't afford one yet.

Yeah I have been looking in the uncle henrys now for about a month and all of the nice ones I called on somone had already been snatched up. But I'm calling a guy back on a 2005 250 Ninja tomorow... To seal the deal hopefully.
