So here's the deal. I don't get to ride much anymore. Baby. If you have one, you know.
I still get to ride to work a few times a week when I'm not on dog daycare duty. But I split those days of riding between the Wee and ZRX (SV still has the track rubber on it from the TTD at Palmer last July, lol).
I'm finishing up swapping the head on the Jickser Sevenfiddy. Shortly it will be all back together. It'll need a set of tires and a battery, but other than that, it should be good for a while.
Question being, do I keep it and enjoy the flip-flop lyfstyle for a while (or actually use it as a track mule)?
I've ridden it, uh, once. Tossed my SV plate on it to take it to the gas station to fill it up. It was quick. It was light. It was uncomfortable. But it was also fun.
The newer supersports don't have a lot on this thing in terms of weight/power. Sure, they have newer suspension, brakes, electronics, but they are fairly similar in performance as far as trackdays or street riding. I'm not racing. I'm not Ghost Rider. But it's lighter than the SV and has nearly double the HP.
So, my current question in my head is do I sell it? Realistically speaking, it's not gunna fetch a lot. It's been down once, so the plastics are cracked. It's got about 30k on it. She's not pretty. But, she runs perfect. Cylinder walls are like glass. Forks are due for a rebuild, and I'm sure the fluids could use a flush on the brakes, but she's in completely workable condition.
I haven't owned a "super sport" since my Ducati 900ss. That thing was miserable to ride on long rides, but was my only bike. I can imagine a super sport is a lot more easy to live with when you can park it for a more comfortable ride other days.
I dunno. Already sold the Vmax. I'm not overwhelmed with bikes or anything. This thing could be fun to keep around as a cheap fast decent handling bike for trackdays. Or, sell it and put the money into a whole new bass rig (Couple GK Neo212 cabs and a Mesa Subway D-800 amp).
