    Didnt you wreck it? Also it looks better now with the paint job and all,also since its past 15k did you do the valve job. G/l on 5500,its kinda like your old tega, you started high in price but then came down.

    The '97/'98 GSXRs are my least favorite models.... wide body, wide tank. What are you going to upgrade to

    thinking ducati. 749 or triumph 675. something with less power that i can make better use of in the mountains.
    i like this 750, its really comfortable for me. i have ridden liters, busas and smaller bikes, but i am 5'6" 160 and i can put both feet down unlowered, tuck in the bubble, throw my saddle bags and tank bags on it and ride 2up for hours.
    guess everyone in entitled to their own opinion

    to much for me, my 750 will break the rear loose if i ride hard . that is a very bad feeling , when one is not expecting it. the new liter bikes do it all the time, bad bike, bad.
    i would get rid of the ridgline asap. they have trans problems, slipping, flare shift, cases leaking ect . if you want a truck buy a nissan
    later. and get off my damn thread
