    Nice. I was going to ask him if on my first time out, if I would need some bubble wrap and eggcrate foam, lol.

    If this is still for sale, it looks like a sweet deal

I agree to spend as little as possible on bike #1. I just started riding this season...started out on a 600 Katana...bought for cheap, rode the crap out of it then dumped it in the rain...and am now on bike #2. I would love an SV for the track.... but get something you dont mind dropping a couple of times at first BTW so nice to meet ya this past weekend! It wouldn't be a bad idea to go talk to Sheppo...he's in Billerica (Billerica Powersports) and I would trust his advice on any bike.... Have someone go with you to look at a bike too, I bought mine in the dark without riding it first and had to wrench on it day #1.....

    OH... I bought both the Katana and the R6 off CL.... Took a buddy to see the R6, it was the first bike I looked at 2 days after my get off, was told not to buy it, and promptly did, and havn't regretted the decision at all... my Yammy

    It was really good meeting you too.

    Yea, I'm just trying to find a good deal so I'm keeping my eyes open. I'm not in too much of a rush.

    I forgot about going to the local shops, I might just do that tomorrow.

    I would just need to find someone to go with me if and when I find something.

    Re: New to me bike...Yeh or Neh?

    Dang, you'da dug my Suzuki Bandit 1200S I gave back to the dealer on the trade for the 2009 Concours14 I have now. I tried to sell it here for about 3,000, but no one was buyin' then. New tires, tuneup, taller GIVI screen, buncha goodies to go with it. Wouldn't recommend such a big feisty bike for a beginner, but a good deal compared to this 650 in the ad.

    Speakin of the C-14, I'm jumpin on and goin' fer chowdah. Good luck searchin'!
