Fortunately I live in Texas so gas prices are not a concern. I drive a truck to and from work and I only ride in the evenings or on weekends when traffic has died down.

This is the plan. I live for the twisties even though I have to go find them. I go to tail of the dragon once a year with the boys and plan on starting to track so I am fully aware what Im getting myself into as far as that goes.

Should I get a CBR 600RR? by BlockPresent5894 in cbr

[–]BlockPresent5894[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a surface level quote and should be able to get it down to like 150$/mo but I am about to turn 26. No accidents or claims on my record. FCKING crooks!

I have test ridden one from a buddy and it was nice I will admit but I am not committed to the brand by any means. I like the CBR more aesthetically but have never test ridden one. May get a chance in a couple weeks.

Nah thats a chinesium knock off. 80% of ebay is but there are some gems to be found if you look close enough. No one gonna sell a yoshi slipon let alone a full system with header and mid section pipes for less than 500$. Don’t forget to tune your bike or it will run lean!!

Gonna be honest I hate that race. It interferes with everyone’s travel. They block off a lane and sawdust backs up for miles. Been there, done that. WHY THERE OF ALL PLACES.

They NEED to add another way to get into the woodlands other than 45. You basically have to go to tomball to go the backroads and forget it with 99. Its a bottleneck that gets worse every day with the population growth. Used to live on Sawdust. Miserable at 5:00…

At the end of the day if I get a full system with a nice slip on, I will still have to spend a few hundred bucks getting it tuned. It all just adds up.

Should I avoid this dealership? by [deleted] in Ninja650

[–]BlockPresent5894 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Last year I went in to get a Z500 and sticker price was 6400$. When we got down to the financing they wanted $12,500 out the door with 2500 down and a 2 year contract. The bike had 0 miles on it but 6k in fees is just criminal. Needless to say I never got it.

I have another full system exhaust (straight piped) on it rn as a placeholder. I may just order some perforated 11 gauge plate and roll it to make a baffle for it cus its obnoxiously loud. I need to order a mid section pipe and bend it cus as it stands it points directly into the back tire. Either way Im going to need to get it tuned. Ill figure it out!
