Oh, I know it, but there's a lot to the bike itself that isn't right for me.

The '02 636 doesn't have any of the aftermarket parts I want, and it's carbed. Not low enough price for me to get the parts either.

The F4i has potential.

The 96 honda is too old.

The 98 honda is again, too old. And no goodies.

'03 Zook is a good deal- for somebody else.

'03/'06 600RR wouldn't be bad, but it's a frankenstein. And no suspension work.

I know I'm being picky here. This isn't something I need NOW. I know most people know almost nothing about the 650R- but I have pretty extensive knowledge Everyone says the SV is a great way to start on the track, the Ninja is just as competent. And if I eventually decide to try racing it, the 650 level racing shouldn't be as ridiculously crowded.
