Trek 7200FX. Main reason I bought it is because of my road trip 2 weeks ago. I would have done better and been less fatigued on the motorcycle if I had been in better shape. Buying a bicycle is harder than buying a new car. Crazy dealers, tons of shifter,brake,wheel,frame,handlebar options etc etc.

Note the lack of front suspension. I specifically got the one without it because the one with it has a mountain bike suspension and its really mushy and this is a road / bike path bike. I just have to wheelie over some of the bigger ledges in the pavement.

 

So you're selling your bike because you bought a bike or are the two relatively unrelated.

 

I still want something small for tooling around town so I got the bicycle, and I want to get in better shape mainly so I am a better motorcycle rider.

Riding a bicycle around here is just as - if not more - dangerous than riding a motorcycle. Its crazy. There is actually a big bicycle ride here on Wednesday called the Ride of Silence remembering all the cyclists that have been hit/killed by cars.

I'm going to have to stick with the bike paths - fortunately we have a lot of those.

 

Why not just have both?

 

Because I don't want to live in an apartment the rest of my life. (can't afford 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, and a house)

 

No front disc brake either eh? If you ride it on the street, just ride the damn thing in the damn bike lane.....................................I f*cking hate it when a pack of cyclers ride in the f*cking street instead of the damn bike lane Ba*tards................sorry, that just really annoys me when they do that They think they own the road or something.

Anyways I have been thinking about getting a bike for motorcycle training, I'm looking at mtn bikes though.............and I don't want to spend a fortune.

Dude you can afford to have two cars, two bikes and a house. Cuzz I'm doing it in Cali! That should be a breeze out in TX

yep, me too. it depends though - the "sidewalks" around my house are not "bike paths" and you need a full suspension mountain bike to navigate them they are so fucked up. i am going to stick to the actual bike paths for the most part. there are also some wide roads that have plenty of room for cycles and i am learning where those roads are also.

 

It looks like it does have front brakes.

So if this is a thread about an SV650 for sale, where are the SV pictures?!

 

i too have been looking for a bicycle; a nice klein or litespeed would be nice.

only decent sized pic i have right now. only thing i added was frame sliders and 1200 miles.

wish i could have taken her to the ozarks last year - but i pulled a nail out of the rear tire 30 minutes before leaving, so I took the FJR instead. I never had a chance to bond with the SV like I did with the big bike.

 

I remember when I purchased my F3. You posted up your ZR7 a few days later. Now, my SHawk's getting fixed and I've found myself another trackbike. A few days later, you post up a bike for sale AGAIN. You're killing me man! I better be first in line for the FJR.

The FJR was probably a better choice for the trip, since you'd have much less windblast.

Good luck with the sale.

 

What is your track bike gonna be now?

Ahh, sorry. Disc brakes on bicycles are still news to me.

Cantilever

 

Those appear to be direct-pull cantilevers.

Nice bike. SV too.

750, nice, there is a guy selling a 750 at my work that I was going to try and pick up. But I don't think I'll be able to sell my sv for enough plus come up with more cash. Oh well, I guess I'll have to stick with the sv for now.
