i pay about $115 a month (usually more b/c i hate just paying the minimum) for the bike

i pay about the same for insurance through progressive.

i have about $500 worth of gear (and that's on the cheap side)

What is this "payment" thing you speak of?

An '04 Civic is getting rough? Is this because of modifications? Do you really need a DD or are you looking for an excuse to drop some cash on a bike?

Yeah, dont buy an '05-'06 sporbike.

Get something older. Remember, payments mean you dont own it, and you will need to carry full coverage insurance which will likely offset any $$ or gas savings you have with the bike over a new civic.

I know thats not what you want to hear, but you're going to have to come to terms with making a good decision over looking cool.

i don't have any car payments and i doubt i'd want both car and bike payments with insurance payments as well.

with a rough civic i would think you had a '92 or something, and '04? what have you done to it?

There's a fix for that.

Stop putting money into a econo chitbox and buy something that outperforms it in every way for a fraction of the cost. Sell all your JDM bling parts and put it toward a bike

I pay 100 a month...special deal through zuki...100 bucks a month for 60 months no interest, after that my interest rate goes to the FL standard interest rate for motorcycle loans, but cannot exceed 17 percent....

But the bike will easily be paid off be4 the end of those 60 months....i make double or triple payments here and there....but its good only having to pay 100.

hahaha, not real rough but iono, i'm getting to the point where its not going to be a every day drive anymore. i'm starting to put it into some shows

i've got alot of things done to it that are unique or "rice" to anyone else. but sometimes, rice wins shows. so let the rice grow
