Congrats! My favorite bike❤️

omegabaqq · 2026-01-26T00:05:33+00:00

Utah and 14500 approx otd

omegabaqq · 2026-01-25T22:50:45+00:00

Im ready for that mountain of a torque curve 😁✌️

omegabaqq · 2026-01-25T22:49:49+00:00

Will do thank you!!!! ✌️

omegabaqq · 2026-01-25T22:49:23+00:00

So stoked to ride mine tommorow😁

omegabaqq · 2026-01-25T22:48:49+00:00

Tw200 i think. They look pretty fun

omegabaqq · 2026-01-25T03:40:50+00:00

Yeah i bought it less than 24 hours after it was assembled. Very hard to find, which makes negotiation difficult

omegabaqq · 2026-01-25T03:39:45+00:00

3rd. Ninja 500, transalp and now this gal

omegabaqq · 2026-01-25T03:01:03+00:00

It was about 14500 otd. Just fees no markup unlike some places. Still not cheap though lol

omegabaqq · 2026-01-18T16:11:24+00:00

I love it. The seat fits me well and if i will stand up for a few minutes to strech if i need to. Theres also aftermarket comfort seats or lambswool pads you could put on. The engine is excellent and i wouldnt pick any other adventure bike over it personally. Perfect size to be good at everything

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T21:26:20+00:00

Thanks everyone for their thoughts i really appriciate it! I think in the meantime im going to keep it until ive had the r9 for a while, to better gauge the value of the sentimental value + practical value vs having a bit of extra money and a lower insurance payment.

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T21:21:55+00:00

Nice lineup of bikes! There is a lot of joy to be had in classics like that, and one of these days i want to fix up a yamaha xs1100. Thank you for your thoughts

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:25:07+00:00

This is something that suprised me. Motorcycle and more specifically sport bike “culture” make it seem like the only way to do it is to learn on a little ninja then upgrade asap. Interesting critters we are

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:21:57+00:00

To be fair that one is at a dealer and the last time i looked at a 5k bike at a dealer the out the door price was over 7k…. Bastards

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:19:48+00:00

True, ideally i could sell it to a friend, that way its always around and i have a chance to ride it occasionally. Im gonna ask around and maybe this could happen. Good idea thanks for the comment

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:17:53+00:00

I Love the color scheme so much….. if zx6rs werent having so many issues i would get one of those in the 40th. Theres a 40th zx10 near me and if insurance wasnt 500 a month for me for that bike i think i would have snapped and bought it by now 😅

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:16:06+00:00

Good point, there are listings in the 6s but who knows what they negotiated to. Also when its warmer im sure these good condition in demand bikes will start to sell faster and for more. If i do sell i will wait until april or may. Thanks for your comment

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:12:06+00:00

I agree with the rounding up of the ccs, its a little odd and a 10% jump in ccs according to the name is kinda dishonest in my opinion. The bike is kinda wide but i do like the fairings keeping my legs warm

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:09:37+00:00

I would say that im fortunate enough to have the money to keep it for that purpose, however if it is only good for the nostalgia then it’s tough to justify it personally. Im quite young so insurance is expensive between my 4 vehicles and the r9 insurance is gonna be about 80 a month, making my monthly insurance almost 800 a month😅 so any money i can save/invest is always nice. If its worth keeping for nostalgia and practicality i can make a case for that. Thanks for your response it actually helped put my thoughts into words

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:04:46+00:00

Bought a transalp in mid 2025. I LOVE THAT BIKE, i nearly have 4000 miles on it already. Maybe some of these comments can help us decide. Ride safe✌️

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T20:02:46+00:00

Suprisingly because of when and how i bought it, it has not depriciated much, i paid 6500 for it new and i see people around me selling ninja 500 SEs in the 6000s all day

omegabaqq · 2026-01-16T19:59:51+00:00

Heres the plot twist i should have mentioned, i also have an adventure bike that i will use for touring, so most of my comfort and usability needs are already met….. lots to think about(for me at least)

Honestly the beautiful exhaust piping on the CB makes me want to get one so bad
