I've never rode a bike with a gas guage. Who needs it?

Two Things...One

I started on a ZX7R...I'm Still Alive. You could buy a Busa and Learn how to ride...It's called Self Control. I think a 600 Is just as good a bike to learn on as a 250/500...You'll learn to ride it then Get Really Bored Really Quick....I have ridden my Six all of this season and Am Still not Tired of it or the Power it has. But Hey You Just Do you and be happy thats all that matters.

Second...

9,999 Out the Door with Gap Insurance and an Extended Warranty and New Lid. And I'm 22 Full Coverage is 500 a Year for me and I'm Also with State Farm...Stray Away from geico and Progressive...There Ass Rapings Waiting to Happen.

Yeah the $48 is per month... so it doubled my annual premium... but shit that's still less than $600 a year.

and even if it was $6000 if I was gonna own a bike state farm would get my buisness... they've earned my buisness many MANY times over... and the office I go through, busts their ass to take care of me.

If I wasnt in school, and had a job that was currently giving me more than 15 hours a week I would no questions asked. Stupid work... It looks like this...



But other than that i see i can pick up an OLD zx6r for relatively cheap. Like this one... Its kinda cyclopish, but atleast it has a split seat...

as for the gas gauge... it bugged me too for about 2 months... after that you get used to it... you learn when it starts sputtering, switch to reserve and find a gas station... you usually had about 20 miles to play with. Besides any time I threw my leg over I looked at my trip meter... I could go 150-170 on it with stock gearing per tank... before reserve. so if it was above 120 I would fill up if it was anything more than just a quick run to the store, ect.
just wait till you try and switch to reserve on the new rr...

Save yourself some cash, anguish and heartache...get an old used bike. You're gonna wreck the first one. Minimize the collateral damage and buy used.
