Default nowhere to post this, no off topic titles ???

i was thinking about getting a cycle. Possibly a 600 - 1000 or even a 1300 BUSA. My only concern is :

what are the pros and cons of getting one. Also, should i get one used ?

I actually only want one for about a year or so, then i'll get rid of it. I just want a "new" toy....and my cars can only give me soo much adrenaline rush. A bike on the other hand....... can give some serious "rush". Btw, it would only be a weekend and maybe 1 -2 times a week driver.

you need to learn the basics first on a smaller bike (250,500cc).

What do you do with your cars? Straight-line stuff or curvy roads? A 600, ridden well, will blow away virtually all cars in twisties. If you live for quarter-miles, then get a hayabusa, turbo the mo'fo, and be done with it.

Get a Hayabusa, then slap a turbo on it! Fastest thing ever man. Thats what I recommend. Don't worry, its pretty easy riding a Hayabusa. Don't listen to these clowns. Riding a bike is like taking a ****, its that easy. You'll learn quick. You'll be impressed with the brakes and how quickly it stops. Give it a slam and you'll know what I mean, you can go from 100 to zero in like 2 seconds. ******* full throttle that bitch too, to break that ****** in...you'll get a big *** rush. The only bigger rush you can get is me kicking you in the nuts. I'm talking about kicked so hard, you'll **** adrenaline!

Oh yea, make sure you try those two things while your riding behind a car.
