Kawasaki Card vs. Personal credit card

[Porkchop]

... the East side, where they find bodies... so true!! Campus isnt bad at all but there was a road closing and were forced to go down on the east side to get back on 70 the other night. The windows were closed and the doors were locked!! lol

But back on topic. I have never missed a credit card payment ever, but you guys put a little doubt in my mind. As much as I cant stand not having a bike right now, I might just save up and buy used in the winter/spring.

About me.... I've been riding for a year, not quite a noob, but far far from totally comfortable in all situations on a bike. The whole thing about the 05 R6 is it is the bike I ride on a constant basis. It is my best friends. The bikes I have ridden include that R6, an 02 Kat, an 05 CBR600RR, an 08 Gixxer, and a 1978 Suzuki GS750.

1) I never said I wanted a Z1000, I just saw one in the parking lot. Maybe an 04, and thought it was nice... well for a naked bike. I know it is way too much power for me, although I am pushing 310 and have a mature right hand..

2) I am definately not made of money... hence the poor college student looking for financing....

3) Oh and that 78 Suzuki might be for sale... maybe $500???

That GS750 was Suzuki's first attempt at a four-cylinder, four-stroke after decades of making two-stroke street bikes. They over built the frame and engine so much, the only way you can destroy it is run it without oil.

I bought a GS1000 in 1979. I rode the thing today on one of the steepest, twistiest roads in Colorado and had a ball. Don't tell anyone else that I passed a Ducati Hypermotard because some people don't like to hear that stuff. But just remember, it's the rider, not the bike that's important

Well as an alternative to an SS I have also considered a couple other bikes.

A used FZ6- Light, versitile, no fairings to scratch/dent, yet stylish, I4, upright comfortable ergos, and super cheap to insure.

A used ZZR600- "Honestly" a ninja at heart, not as razor edged as current gen SS, insured as a S-T, carberated and no fuel guage tho....

Maybe an 01 F4I...

Or maybe the Z1000!!! I kid I kid....

That's what I have... 05 ZZR00... (not a fatboy as my profile says... thank Trip)

I LOVE my bike...
the headlights are fuck'n awesome...
a bit of the sleeper look as it doesn't have the "loud" grafics...
seat is comfy and so it's good for long trips...
Great aftermarket already (02 ZX6R is the same model the J model)

the downfalls are
no gas guage or light... start looking for a gas station around 160
Carbed... but really the carbs are VERY good on this bike...
not the 636 motor

I got mine with 618 miles in Jan of 06 for 4999 OTD with a 500 Arai helmet thrown in.

but that was January in Alaska.
