nice article.

it still doesn't make wanna buy one though. i don't mind the low power but im just too stubborn to get past it's design.

i've said before and i'll say it again... if only the aprilia RS125 R is available here. i would have gotten one of those instead.

Really? You miss the power of your GSX-R1000, wish your GSX-R750 had more power down low, but you also wish you could have bought a sub-40HP 125cc bike instead?

You're a tough one to figure out.

I want one so bad!

yeah, pretty much.

i wanted to get the lowest cc sportbike to build my skills but the lowest cc sportbike available here in the US is the 600cc. i was actually planning to buy one.

but i happen to come across the 750. then i got sold to the idea of getting a good balance between power and handling.

i don't consider the GS500, EX500, and EX250 to be sportbikes. they're more like standards w/ full fairings.

but yeah, i would have bought an aprilia RS125 R instead of a gixxer if i could. unless they cost more than $4000. i wouldn't buy a 125cc bike for more than $4000.

He's not a tough one to figure out... he is totally image obsessed. He buys what he buys (weapons, musical instruments, motorcycles...everything) based on what *they* can do in some abstract sense that mostly centers around "look cool" without any consideration for what he can do with them... nor for how he can reach a point where he will take full advantage of them.

Then he blathers endlessly about his posessions any chance he gets. Find a post of his that doesn't translate to "look what I own[ed]!"

not so much bragging but i worked for those stuff i bought and im proud to own them.

plus, i only bring it up if it's related to the topic.

No, verm... you haven't worked for it yet.... you ARE WORKING for the stuff... you don't own it yet.

the bike yeah... but everything else, i own them already and shelled out lots of money to buy them up front.

oh actually, i also financed my shinken. i didn't have $1700 at the time. it's paid off for a long time now though.
