So, the house of SV will be getting some changes happening this week

biggest amoung them: that CBF that I w as planning on flipping? not anymore. looks like dad is going to sell the BMW and take over the much lower milage CBF.

Track SV is getting listed by the end of the day today. I will be needing some $ for my next projects.

the Z1000 will also be listed soon.

hopfully between those 2 sales and a little bit of hard work, I will have another bike that I really really want.

Your autocorrect seems broken, I assume you meant "fun"

I mean, if I had that thing I’d probably be ripping a perpetual burnout on the way to work. lol And topping out the bike would be absolutely bonkers!

Funny.... I rip perpetual burnouts on my 50cc ruck, I’d go to jail on a 600cc version

it is genuinely fun as hell bike. I admit, I was not all lovey dovey with it at first, but i was treating it like my SV. fast in, keep momentum, fast as balls out. Took me a while to stop treating it like a momentum bike and start treating it like the street brawler it is. and oh my LORD did the bike take well to that. *seriously, mid range in 2nd and 3rd (which take you from about 50mph to about 80 or 90 is so ridiculously over the top its laughable.

dont tell me that. Ive already seen an Fz07 that i almost bought on CL a few days ago...

09/13/2018 at 16:45

FZ07 is more like the SV.

FZ09 would be closer to the Z

but joking aside, the Wheelies this thing can pull are nothing short of amazing
