    $2400ish only pay $76 insurance/year I'd be wary with 09 and up since they are much heavier/sportier and will probably raise insurance too thanks to the r in 250r (racing) o got it midmay

    Looks something like that, I just remember it being a Honda and having huge disc brakes on the front. Gonna ask her more about it tomorrow lol. My old swimming teacher who I still kinda keep in touch with (we work together now lol) has a bike too, but idk when I'll see him next. Has a Kawasaki, I think.

    Yeah what I'm saying is you really don't wanna drop your bike.. it's embarrassing, unnecessary and you'll pay for the damages.. CBRs are nice I would've picked one over the ninja, but they're not as common on craigslist/dealerships.. they're lighter too which is nice. oh and I do 80ish on highways without problems :D I wouldn't want a bike that hits 100+ as soon as you shift into 3rd haha

    rode home in a rainstorm yesterday and had to switch to the reserve tank on the highway >_> I swear it's the scariest thing when you're in 5th doing 70 and all of the sudden you're in neutral ... also fuck rain and wind at the same time
