Decisions! Decisions!

Israeli_Z · 04-03-2011, 01:17 AM

Debating if I should spend my money towards suspension, wheels, tires and sway bars or get a motorcycle? I was thinking about a 600cc (probably the ninja) or the new GSXR750. Would come out to about the same but idk what ill be happier with. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Motorcycle FTW. Although, be warned - your car will forever feel slow as sh*t. It'll take a good 900 hp in a 370z to match the power-to-weight ratio of a 600cc bike.

I'm wrestling with the same decision. I really miss my bike.

Just sold my modded R1. I miss it too, but I couldn't stop from riding wheelies for miles. Got REAL good at em. Wife said she didn't want to bury me cause she needs my paycheck.

I hear that a lot lol. But I wouldn't really care knowing I have another beast in the garage.

I'd probably kill myself on a 1000cc too

There are certain things you can only do while young. Get the bike.

+1, although I'm in my 30's and still have a 600.

And what, you'd only be critically injured on a 600?

41 here and I just sold my the last of my bikes, spares and trailer. I just don't have time to go to the track anymore. I'm thinking about buying a cafe racer project bike. Original street fighter FTW!

Best business model ever!

I think you guys with bikes are crazy. Not because you can't ride, but because most people can't drive. Be careful out there!

OP, I like having transportation options, so despite what I said above, get the bike (and a really good helmet).

That pretty much was the reason that I only had track bikes for the last 10 years.

That's a big part of the reason I don't have a bike right now. I can't count the number of people I've known that have gotten seriously injured because of something stupid something else did.

Dang... bikes are juust a whole different motorsport set altogether. I say go with the bike. Then mod both after the bike...
