> 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.

No jet kit on an 06 fuel injected bike. $3100 is also too cheap for any normal 06.

It’s your money knock yourself out. Not like I’m bringing logic, numbers and experience to this argument. Clearly talking out my ass.

> What the hell kind of rear tire did you buy for $67…on a bike one thing I wouldnt cheap out on is a tire thats for sure!

Amen. About 120 for rear every 6k miles and another 120 or so for the front every 10k miles. Don’t forget chain ever 10-15k. 150$ other mods you will put on the bike as well. New gear as old wears out. Medical bills if you get hurt. Etc. Flawless money saving plan.

Loveforboost your numbers are off across the board. Full coverage on a new bike as a new rider is at least $600 closer to $1000 a year on a sport bike. You get around 40 mpg and you use super for gas.

Have fun saving money on that. You probably won’t even save enough to cover insurance, forget tires and price of bike.
