What people need to know is that Cap'n's last bike was a '05 R6. Major, major, major downgrade!

It hasn't been THAT long since I've had a bike. Besides, I was only 1 1/2 in the summer of '75.

And Dlit is right about the downgrade. Damn near anything I can afford to buy (which ain't much) is a serious downgrade from that R6 that I had.

and well what do ya expect... the 05 R6 was a good bike...

Here you go: http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/836151219.html Yamaha sportbike for less than $2K. Plus, it looks nicer than the '05 R6, and is way better than the Tuna.

Way better than the Tuna, yes. Better than the '05 R6, hell no. Looks cool as hell though.

Anything is a fucking upgrade from the bike he's riding now.
