I'm seriously trying to justify 20k on a god drat motorcycle.

I could literally buy a used car AND bike AND get the GTI done for less than that.

But oh god so sexy.

Edit: also LSx everything.

Is the bike a super duke? Then you know the answer.

Super Duke doesn't fit me right, sadly :( I loving love it, but the air coming over the fairing hits me square in the chest and makes it super uncomfortable to ride above 50.

thank gently caress im done with my last* homework assignment of the semester, now its just studying for finals and games to decompress

*technically I've got one more due tonight but thanks to that spreadsheet i know that not only would it not impact my grade at all below like 60%, but even if i get a 100 on it id need a 91 on the final to get an A overall. OTOH by being lazy now i can still get a B with a 71 on the final or a C with a 38, and that's before a curve (which he's hinted at but not quite committed to, and this new grading scheme may just be the implementation of that) but regardless imma be lazy tonight and study for the final tomorrow

It is, but the price reflects it. New it's solidly past 20, and they're hard to find used.

Plus it's worse than a Diavel, for about the same money.

When I was a kid I read Cycle World religiously and I remember them taking a Vmax (this is in the late 80's) putting a drag slick and wheelie bars on it and getting 9 seconds in the 1/4 mile. I was loving astonished and have wanted one ever since, but after riding one it scared the poo poo out of me.

That's loving awesome. My bro in law had a modded VMAX for awhile and it was hilarious fun. Once the secondaries opened the sound it made was godlike.

Also now you have me looking at B Kings. gently caress. But the closest one I can find is 1200 miles away :v:

Friend of mine bought a demo S1000RR, and in unlocking it, they unlocked track mode. No limiter at all. He sold it a year later because he was continually going too fast, and wanted to see his kids grow up.

Now he just does amateur track racing on an R6. :D

Yeah the secondaries is what scared the poo poo out of me, nobody warned me and it about threw me off the bike which was dumb on their part (my uncles friend) because i had just started riding (was 17 or 18) and probably should have died or been permanently disabled that day. I got over wanting one pretty quick after that, and the fastest bike I ended up ever owning was an '86 GSXR 750 which didn't come close to a Vmax. All the bikes I've owned have been small bikes for the most part.

I'd still ride the gently caress out of a B King tho.

I just got a $50 Amazon giftcard from, well, Amazon, for being one of the first to sign up to do deliveries for them out here.

That will cover most of the cost of a Samsung Evo 850 250GB. Which means the older 120GB Evo 840 currently in my desktop can get dropped into another computer. It'll also cover most of the cost of a 120GB, but it's about a $15 difference between 120 and 250 GB, it'd be stupid to get the 120.

Yeah, I lack that survival instinct. I grew up on two strokes, and usually ones that were too big for me.

I prefer awesome handling bikes generally, but more power is always fun. Especially from something that looks as if it should never be fast.

For reference, I had a YZ125 when I was 9, a 250 when I was 12, and a bored out Banshee and a basket case CR500 when I was 14 :v: Insane power bands are my drug.
