    Yeah, you can get some sweet deals in the winter too. I'll hopefully be picking up a new bike in the winter.

    We can always just throw you off an overpass into oncoming traffic.. that should simulate having a bike. (just kidding) Seriously check out Florida papers, or if you know someone in Orlando have them drive around. There are tons of bikes always for sale, mostly because of repo, and lack of insurance. Florida is a haven for idiots with bikes, no helmet, no insurance, no lisence.. NO PROBLEM!

    No... ZRX1200R. The fastest 'naked' street bike out there, with excellent suspension and gobs of power.

    hey bro I'd check out the sv650 suzuki, theres a couple on cycletrader.com also a guess there's a place in Marietta called "Wild Cycles" that's pretty good with used bikes..I asked my guys at work that ride so this info is from them, also one of my co-workers has a hook-up with used race bikes that he could call in if you'd be interested in...I have like zero knowledge in this subject, I just asked my co-workers about it because they look at used bikes all the time....so let me know if I can help..

    hey mark, thanks for the pm.....they were good, i actually called on the f4i a few weeks ago. The guy "lost" the title in a move apparently but has a bill of ownership. So scratch that, and the cbr600rr is out of my price range. thanks for the info though.

    If you like the naked bike concept go with the SV650. I bought an 02 and I absolutely love it. The 0-60 is around 4 seconds and it tops out at about 130.... not that I speed.... and it's a high-performance V-twin which is far superior to the inline four for making torque. The SV's have only gotten better over the years with the addition of fuel injection and extra performance bits like and oil cooler.

    The best part about this bike is it's the less expensive alternative to bikes like the GSX-R or Ninja, meaning that it doesn't have Ohlins forks or a steering damper, but don't get me wrong. The SV is in a class all it's own on the racetrack and they do get raced a lot. But if you don't need a streetbike that you can take straight to the track or you don't need the ultimate in modern two-wheeled performance for your weekend riding, the Suzuki SV's are the way to go.

    yea the SV is a really nice bike, i have some friends with them that love em. Lookin at them a little bit latly. They look really good if you add the lower fairings too. As far as track go they are great track bikes like you said.
