so yesterday I took a trip down to charleston and bought a 1985 yamaha virago 1000. It only has 4000 miles on it. Took it for a drive today and it was great. Now I have yet another reason to not spend money on the 7. Discuss.

I wish I had a motorcycle!

nice! i keep thinking about a vespa...
|
Nice bike, fair amount of power.
|
Sweet! I had an '81 Virago 750, what a hunk of ****! But that was out of neglect from previous owners. Have fun on it!

If it's 'slow' it'll teach you throttle control and give you some confidence with WOT. I'd have a bike but where I'm living I'd have nowhere to put it!!! So I'm thinking my next winter vehicle should be a van so I can store the bike inside it, lol.

Nice. How about some pics?
Heres my toy, the pic is a little old though. Wheels and brakes are different now. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/gal...178_279302.jpg |
Sweet ZX-7! I actually wouldn't mind having one, any year.
I'm thinking about a 01 ZX-9 or a 04+ CBR 1000 I'll post a few pics of the CBR this weekend. |
i have a 08 r6 and its stupid fast. the G's in 1st gear almost pull me off the back of the bike.
but my 07 Kawi (cruiser) rides like a caddy... i bought them for the gas milage. |
Nice bike Adam! ****..
|
Here are a couple pics, I need to take some more. That's my buddy on my bike, he almost dropped it the first time he took it for a ride.

It makes me want a 7 than can go from 80 to 160 in a 1/4 mile without downshifting... |
nice bike
i just got me a 98 cbr 900rr |
Those are great bikes. Absolutely bulletproof and very capable.

Just roll on the throttle from cruising in top gear. |
New half shell for the ride. I also have a really nice full face shoei. Rode a HD sportster a couple weeks, much different than any other bike. Very bumpy. Then I took a nice BMW for a spin today. It was heavy but purrrred, very smooth. And usually once a week I shovel sand from in front of my driveway, sucks.
