What are the top ones to buy? I want one that really looks like a dirtbike, but has a big engine… the Yami, Honda and Suzuki’s look like shit and are under powered… 2009 Husqvarna SM 510R seems like a winner to me… any input? ---

I used to ride quite a bit. I haven’t rode in years, I’m gonna have to get my ass back in shape before I start fucking around on that thing… I wish they made the 610 on a 510 chassis… the 610 doesnt look like a dirtbike as much… ---

It’s in my consideration for a bike My choices right now are between SM510R, 600RR, 1000RR, or GSXR1000…but the SM is realllyyyy starting to get ruled out because I like going fast and crotch rockets are sick. :lol ---

Aprilia’s are definitely serious cash, but they are siiick! Husqvarna chainsaws are easy to work on btw. I think that goes for any chainsaw though :ahh You should know, everything on shift is ![http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/algore_manbearpig.jpg](http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/algore_manbearpig.jpg) SUPER serial.
