The katana is a great Street/sport available at low price, so I chose that. This one's really old but really really well kept its a 1993 and not a 2003 anyway so thats why I chose this, couldnt afford a GSX.

yes vulken you land up spinning the wheels even if you dont want them to spin. I landed up spinning them on a traffic light right in front of a cop on my way out of town. Its a monster loads of power, torque figure?? dunno exactly but monstrous for sure can tow a whole jungle of trees from one end to the other.

The bike cost me around 2600$ without insurance, i spent 500$ for the truck rental + fuel. It guzzled 120 gallons of fuel on the whole trip can you guys imagine that. I burnt holes in my pockets fueling that truck, but it was definitely worth it. its just great.
and about the pricing "rtech" you're right but I bought it right in the middle of summer and so i got it a little expensive. But like i said the bike is actually 2100$ and rest is travel expenditure and a speeding ticket that I got (another 95$) + that added to my insurance by 100$ (I wish I could add that crying out loud emoticon right now but I've already used up one)

Lots more to say but right now my boss is around and he'll kick my *** so other details later. I also have a few questions about my idle rpm adjustment problem. But all this later.
Chill pill
