The fucking thing sold before I even got a chance to get out there and take a look.

Ugh, Dammit. I thought it might be the one, The hunt goes on!

This is how I felt when a 2006 ST 1050 got sold before I got the cash to buy it. I ended up with a 919 instead.

I was actually pretty pissed, the bike itself was a really, really good deal.

That means, it was probably bought by some greedy fuck who is just going to list it again at 3x the original listing price.

That sucks. Are you still looking for a Sprint ST or what are you looking for?

Not really, the Sprint was just a one time thing because it was cheap. I'm just looking for something cheap and manageable.

CB550 café?

I can't into cafe racers. It's got to be a sportbike.

Why can't you into them? If you want to get a sportbike how about a Monster?

I'd be commuting with it, and parking in the middle of the city. I just need something quick, efficient and cheap.

A Monster probably isn't what I'm looking for, too pricey.

Sabre V45?

Probably a bit old, 1990-2003 is pretty much my zone.

Ninja 250?

I've considered them along with a shitassload of 600s.

You're buying a bike prior to winter setting in? Do prices get better before the snow starts falling?

It seems that prices tend to get more generous before winter, I'm guessing so they don't have to deal with winter storage and such.

Ah the bike hunt again. Still considering a Triumph? What is funny is how I am looking at bikes now too.

I mainly was looking at it because of the price that is was, I'm still open to Triumph bikes though if I can find them super cheap.

I hear ya. I remember all the ones we looked at, a few months ago. I'm in the same boat

Try looking for a Suzuki Katana - similar to the Sprint ST in that it's a sport/touring bike.
