I wouldn't buy a new one, personally.

Look around for a slightly older one that isn't worth as much. I got my 84 Interceptor VF700F pretty cheap cheap. It has a claimed 80bhp (around 70ish to the wheel). Handles the corners very well. It may not be as good as brand new sport bikes, but I have a hard time not loosing my buddies that ride newer 6RR's. Then again, I'm more of a twisty type guy. It has great acceleration! but will probably only hit 120mph. But I don't really see the point to go that fast on public roads anyway, and it is fun to rev through the gears and not hit 100 in second gear.

Not only that, because it isn't worth as much, and is a bit older, it is only $360 dollars per year for full coverage insurance, and I am 22.

I like the cheap route, and I think it is just as fun

Plus, with an older bike, it is usually pretty easy to find performance mods for them.

I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told one of the guys I work with.

"Go ahead and get it, I think it's a stupid idea, but if you cared about what I thought you wouldn't be trying to tell me that you can handle it. All you want is someone to agree with you."

that WAS actually very true...but only when i wanted to buy my first bike.

...you guys at this forum are the people that convinced me to buy the ex500 and not the ducati 999 that i wanted...LOL....and i'm very thankful for that.

but this time, believe it or not, i'm really not looking for people to agree with me. i'm just asking for opinions on what you guys think.

so after hearing what you guys said, and thinking about it a little more, i decided the Hell with you guys, i'm getting my gixxer.








































...so kidding

i've decided NOT to buy the gixxer, but i'm still going to sell the ex500 because i really need the money....

i had alot of fun with my ex, and i'm definitly gonna miss IT and riding in general. but hopefully i'll return someday.
