    Fair enough though I'd never compare it to a 916 :Putter:

    couple of years ago I rode a late 90s RR that a friend purchased... and I rode quite a few in the 90s that had extensive work... it was "meh" like an appliance. A mind boggler for me would be an 85 GSXR 1k.
    My buddys 916 might be fleeing the NE really soon to get it running and ready for summer.

  5. I’ve only got 6k miles on the SVR and love it, but I’ll never be satisfied until I’ve got a Lamborghini Urus.

    I'd LOVE to find a deal too good to pass up on a Tacoma TRD Pro with a 6MT. Doubt I'll find one though. Toyota seems to think their trucks are made of solid gold. I guess it's what the markets will bear.

    i rented a 2019 ram 2500 tradesman, cc, 6.4, 4x4 for a week earlier this year.

    it was easy to fall in love with it since i havent had a new truck since 1997.

    i have a deal on the table for $34,500 + tax and fees but havent got into real negotiations yet.

    Pulled a 7x16 , about 6000 lbs, from cincy to florida.

    very small fuel tank. 200 mile range sucked

    I picked this up last Friday, got it for $1000 above KBB trade in. 2017 2500 Laramie with 16k miles. I really wanted the new big horn on their lot but the dealer wouldn’t budge off the $63k out the door.

    Wouldn't be hard to put an auxillary, gravity fed tank at the front of the bed that looks like a regular aluminum tool box insert, but you'd lose ~11" of bed & about $850 cost for the tank. The range would probably quadruple. :D

    That would be a mind boggler for Anyone ... since there is no such thing as a 1985 Suzuki GSXR 1000cc :D

    85/86 whatever it takes. :D I was a teenager first time I rode one. The smell of the engine heat, oil, fuel and newness really did some traumatic emotional damage & I didnt even come close to dumping or crashing...lol

    If your timeline is right .. it was a GSXR 1100 .. which came out in 1986 .. the 1000 did not Come into existence until 2001

    That's the bike that changed my mind about street bikes. Good-bye, dirt. Hello, asphalt.

    Saw you with that at Jennings and it seemed like a pretty nice ride. Post up some pics when you get the new one. I'm interested to see what you end up with.

    Anyone got an early 90s model Nighthawk 250? Got the ol lady one years ago and I took that sumbitch over. Man what a fun goofy little commuter/hooligan bike.

    Do those have corvette level of buttons on the dash?
     
  20. They’ve got tons of buttons, and even airplane-like levers inside. :D
