So you would rather the bike be put in a bubble? I thought you were a better man than that, JD. Bike is made to be ridden hard. Much like your mother.

You can't win honestly. Ride the shit out of that bike and devalue it. Don't buy it, spend the same amount on a run of the mill bike with lots of mods/upgrades, and have it be worth half your investment. In the end, you're left spending $15k and only getting $8-9k when you sell it.

Really, you need $30k. $15k to keep the rare bike in good shape so it holds its value. $15k to build a bike to "squid around town".

The real thing is, if you never plan on selling, none of this becomes an issue. I'm not modifying another car in any meaningful way until I resolve that I'm never going to sell it or when I do sell it, I don't care what I fetch for it.

See the thing about Henry is he has bikes to squid around on... he just wants to squid around on this particular bike. He would really need to buy two, one to rag out and one to sit on in his mom's garage..

Watch out, you just prepared yourself for a really hard really big henry-ing.

Fuck that. 90% of the speed of modern sportbikes comes from rider ability. You can't even ride a stock modern 750 to its full potential on the street. And your Henry-ing yourself if you think you get on that bike and all of a sudden your boss nigger.

Anyways, who gives a shit its his money. Go buy a bike that they only made 500 of and ride the shit out of it. Take it to the track every weekend cause I'm sure finding replacement parts for that bike would be very cheap and easy to come by

Wise investment if you plan to ride it the way it was designed to be ridden $:-\$

What does any of this have to do with you squiding the bike up until it's destroyed?

Some people spend money on cars, some on houses, some on random shit like plasma tv's and nice computers. I like bikes.

And Whitey, you can't ride your bike near its potential either, so why'd you buy it? I won't be able to ride my 636 nearly as hard on the track as Josh Herrin can run his R6, does that mean I shouldn't have bought it? Maybe you should sell your bike since you can't ride it to it's potential either. Don't be butthurt because you realized your earlier statement was uninformed.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #36 on:** May 22, 2010, 01:53:36 PM »

It's not any one aspect that can easily be argued against, Henry. It is the combination of expense, usability, and rarity all lumped together that make you taking and ruining this bike a colossal Henrying of a cool machine, our sensibilities, and your money.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #37 on:** May 22, 2010, 01:54:10 PM »

Also, I do not hate you. Fuck you.

sfa22r · « **Reply #38 on:** May 22, 2010, 02:13:23 PM »

So I should buy an MG TC and an M35 to haul the other bikes around? Expense of the bike is $15k, which is pretty much what a nice 2010 1000cc bike will cost me once everything is setup. Those bikes end up selling for <$10k real quickly, whereas this will be a nice toy to fuck with up in the mountains or the nicer roads around the Dragon and it won't lose it's value unless I wad it up.

Useability of the bike is the exact same as any other streetbike. They are all impractical. The R7 can run regular gas and be just like a Suzuki 750 with a $7k suspension setup. But it'd be a nice dual purpose street/track bike. Moreso than the ZX6R that Hatchdan is picking up. I like the fact that with a change of fuel and an ecu tweak that it will be more than competitive with the HW-SS class bikes.

Alas, probably a pipe dream now that he has shot down the $15k lowball I threw out. Guess that's why the ZX6R has a built motor and track plastics with it. Better investment of $4600.

We have a word for people who buy things like your limited run r7 to do the same thing that you could do with a $10k bike.

Yuppie.

Also, when you wreck on the dragon, just be aware that most of those pics make it to the internet. Have fun!

sfa22r · « **Reply #41 on:** May 22, 2010, 02:38:43 PM »

Coming from a Porsche owner, that's kind of funny.

Sorry for always wanting one and finally being able to afford one

And it's not the Dragon that is fun, but you already knew that already. There's better roads there that aren't as police/squid infested. I've already got 2 sets of Michelin Power One's ready to go for the trip. Gonna stop by and have a brew or 3 with the White Wizard of Ashville.

I bought it becuase it was 3 months old with 1,000 miles for $6,000. You can't pass up a deal like that

sfa22r · « **Reply #43 on:** May 22, 2010, 03:15:39 PM »

Damn that ain't bad at all lol. I paid $4600 for the Kawasaki. Built Supersport legal motor, spare motor, stock suspension (Penske rear is waiting for it), street and track fairings, spare parts out the wazoo, clean title 6700 miles. There's a huge debate whether to register it and sell the track stuff, or keep it as a track bike and part out the street bits. Can't decide, and I won't get to see it until June 13th

I paid $700 cash for a running 944 Turbo whose owner thought needed a clutch. Spent $10 and rebuilt the slave cylinder. Not exactly hypocrisy.

hardly anything we build and buy is or becomes an asset, unless you get a crazy deal with the sole intention of making it an asset
