> gotta agree with nick on this one… while going from a 20 mpg car to a 30mpg is so such a retarded reason to switch cars i think a bike WOULD save money… insurance is like $300 a YEAR, you get what? 50-60mpg? And im not sure how often you need to change tires but I’ve boughten a brand new back tire for a cbr 900 and it was like $67

This. Was looking at a nice gsxr 600 like an 06 i believe with some miles on it but it was like $3100 i believe. Had an exhaust and jet kit. I can use my helmet i got for christmas and some other gear needed. If what i get for gas money from work for the month covers what i need to pay for gas, insirance and payment, thats 100% ok with me. Which i know it will. Rather than spend 40$ in my charger to make the trip once a week to queensbury, 30$ to go to amsterdam, 50$ to go to schenectedy twice a week. I know itll pay for itself and thats fine with me rather than raping myself with a dull knife paying $4.50 a gallon and getting 14mpg.
