    I have "Other" bikes now!

    After getting the new bike bug pretty hard over the winter, and thinking a whole lot about what to do about it, everything just sort of fell into place. A good friend of mine decided to thin his stable out a bit, and asked me if I wanted any of them.

    I've been wanting to get something lighter and a bit sportier than my 850G with the idea of having a bike that I can flog on the street and take to the track too.

    After some thinking and encouragement (from my awesome and motorcycle supportive girlfriend ) I decided to go for it.

    I bought not one, but TWO bikes! Both are '92 Kawasaki ZX600s. Both in immaculate shape, and with low miles. One is titled and will be my street machine. The other is title-less and already track prepped!

    I'm stoked to have a lightweight (420 lbs wet ) sport bike to have fun with.


    This is the titled machine in my friends garage before I picked it up.




    Ohh and the real kicker... BOTH bikes for $1700. And the cost to insure the street Ninja???

    $79 a YEAR!!!

    Before anyone asks there are no plans to sell my GS. I still need a bike to take cross country after all .

      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

              Those are great bikes Tim. Actually quite comfortable for a sport bike and I like the smaller half liter bikes. It's so much fun to wring 'em out. And in my book, light is right!

                Yeah Pete I know it's not a katana but it sure is a fun bike! I took it out for a 120 mile "get to know you" ride and the verdict is it's a sweet and smooth bike. Handles awesome in the twisty stuff too. Light it right!

                In a way it is a bit katana-esque with the seat and tank shapes. The fact it is in immaculate condition doesn't hurt either! I'm very happy with my new bike.
