I got mine last October for $3500. It came with everything you see, except for the pearl white paint and new tires. I have been offered $5000 and I turned it down. I love it so much, I'm planning on getting another one.

I drove few of my friends bike int that 20 years or so... but never own one.
My Dad use to own a KZ1000 Cage Racer (Full fairing at the time) I took it for a 120 MPH ride once... I was 12 yo. LOL Shit we do as kid... I was about 110 lbs back then. Pass 100 MPH I had to stick my foot under the pegs to keep my ass on the saddle, I could feel the air passing between the seat and my butt. Those where the days... I called it fearless, now I think it's more clueless.

60's Honda scooter. Had the pedals and all. Don't remember the model. Rode it until I broke a piston.
1976 Honda CJ360T. Rode it into the ground. Parents sold it when I was in Basic Training. The kickstart is visible in the picture. She also had electric start.
1982 Honda CB750C. Awesome frickin' bike. Destroyed it in a lay down. Not my pic. Didn't feel like digging through boxes, but this is the bike.
1982 Honda CB900F SuperSport. Beat the heck up before I got her. Was never able to make her right. The black-out is my doing. I stripped her to frame and sandblasted and painted everything black, because there was so much rust. I still think she was beautiful. The pic doesn't do her justice.
2000 Suzuki 650SV. Actually the ex's, but it was mine for a year. My son has the only pic of it we have, on one of his cell phones (he gets the whole extended family's throwaways), and we can't find it. It's a 'frickin zuki. LOL.
2009 Yamaha FZ6R. Is she beautiful or what?

I guess I'm just that cheap... lmao.
I also forgot about my old moped I had back in the day, I don't think it really counts though, lmao. It was just a 50cc bored out to something like 70-80cc and that's it. I used to ride that thing around the neighborhood all the time though. my dad had gotten it fixed up and I had it for almost a year or so but I jumped a hill with it and the rear wheel came off and jammed around the front sproket and destroyed the transmission.... lol. It was a good bike though.
I wouldn't mind having one now though just to buzz around the neighborhood. A gallon of gas in that thing lasted a few weeks, lol.

Here's my skinny ass on my 1982 Honda CB750C. Circa 1995 or so. Consider it a replacement for the stock photo of a CB750C in my previous post.
It was a truly amazing bike. Only had four gears, but I could downshift and pass just about anything, at highway speeds. Even back then, I wanted more and faster, but looking back, it delivered just about anything anyone could ask. Except I kept dragging the darn pegs and pipes in the twisties, lol.
I laid that bike down in the mountains of northern Georgia, and it was scrapped. It was that down that made me ATGATT, though it's taken many years to actually accomplish.
What I'm wearing in that picture is basically how I used to ride. In SC, there's no helmet law. In GA, I had a non DOT skull cap.
Night was falling and my ex and I pulled our jackets and gloves out of the trunk, just about 20 minutes before the down. Thankfully, we were already in long pants at the time. I was wearing custom made cowboy boots, I got when stationed in South Korea. I still wore them for years, after that down, but there's a horrible tear, just above the ankle, that I later sealed with ShoeGoo.
My ex wore a full face helmet. It was gouged and scratched from the top of her head right down to her chin. I had a skull-cap. Her hitting me drove my head into the gravel and destroyed that useless piece of shit. If my head had gone any other way, I'd have lost my face.
Regardless, when I compare it to Tora, there's no comparison. The FZ6R kicks it's ass in nearly every way. There's a soft spot in my heart, though for old bikes. If you're the type of person who has a stable of rides, find yourself a 1982 CB750C. It's a wonderful ride.

chad needs to update his post in this thread
It all started with my beautiful 1981 Seca 750. Shaft drive, power up the wazoo, it was a beautiful bike. Headlight range was horrid, IDK how anyone rode old school bikes in the dark. I had everything rewired with new wire, a gel battery, a Yoshi 4-1 exhaust, oil cooler add on. She was a dream.
I was told by my parents all along growing up if I ever bought a bike I was kicked out of the house and my mom would stop talking to me. She would get FURIOUS any time the topic came up. So...I waited till I was 21....found this bike...called my brother to help me pick it up....and violla...Brought it home, My mom cried, she was so mad. My dad thought it was the coolest thing ever because it reminded him of his oldschool days, and my fiance followed suit with my mom thinking I just killed myself.
I bought her in September 2009, and rode all the way into November gritting against the fridged cold air. I was addicted and didnt want to give up riding.

I then Bought the fz6r in March of 2011. Brooke wanted a bike and the fz6r was intended for her but we decided it got to be mine and she got the seca. long story short she didnt want the seca and we sold her.
This is the day I rode the fz6r home
before the modding
and to her final completion
and now I have moved on to my SEXY ZIX
before any mods:
to our current stable

My old 1985 Honda Shadow VT500.
My first bike at age 26. Better late than never.
Could never seem to afford a bike even though I had wanted one since I was little. My uncle, who owns his own Harley shop, had me fascinated with bikes since I was 5. He still gets a kick out of the fact that when I was that young, I could tell the difference between a Harley and a "rice-burner" just by hearing the bike ride by.Sold her this year because I needed the money and I had the Fazer. Got a good solid 3 seasons in Chicago out of her, put her down once, and she *still* would start after being left out all winter. (GF and I broke up and I never got around to moving the bike. It was a really rough few months, that winter.) I kinda miss her, but that cash really helped. Paid $500 for her, (My Uncle had a buddy who had the bike just sitting in a garage for years) maybe put $200 into her, and sold her for $500. Best deal I could have ever found to get me riding.
