The new models don't have 4.0 or V8 options, do they? Thought they changed over to the 3.7 and the EcoBoost engines.

3.5  and Ecoboost 2L is available in FWD only.

So I'm interested in getting a bike.. I was wanting to start off with an FZR6, I've been reading a lot and evidently it is a great starter bike. Essentially a detuned R6..

Unless there is a really strong financial reason I would skip anything that isn't an R6.

My first bike was and is a CBR 954. It is nearly perfect.

It all depends on why you want a bike though. If you want to have fun, buy a sports bike. If you want a commuter, buy one. You can make an R6 more commuter friendly but making a commuter bike handle better is a god damn bitch.

Yeah everyone I've spoken to has been for or against a beginner getting a 600cc bike.. I would really prefer an R6 but not sure.

The real trick AS ALWAYS is to buy something you can sell later for the same dough. Fuck any other advice. Bikes are like comfy shoes. If you've never had a pair you don't give a shit about some. Get your first and you realize everything wrong with anything else and rapidly look for a second. You will want a change no matter what you buy. When you buy wrong you can no longer afford to and give up on the process.

I usually buy a snowmobile keep it for 2 years and sell it for more than I paid for it even though it has a couple thousand more miles. My worst move was a $400 loss after riding over 5000 miles on one. I've set myself up to fail on my last though. Just dropped some dough on upgrade parts that I'll have to part back out to minimize the $$ loss, but I plan on keeping this one a lot longer. Will become the backup sled at some point.

Easy to keep something custom built for you though too.

In particular if you build it.

Pulled the boat today. Time for winter.

[///M5 2,833]

I almost drove to SD...

4th year in a row they've been hammered early Oct. Next year it won't happen because I will be ready. It's a GREAT time of year for me to use vacation time. In particular on snowmobiling

I took not a single guys day/night this summer on the boat. Going to make up for it on the snow.

I really really want to make it up that way some day.  Take a few weeks hoping around New England.  Virginia is as far north east as I've been

Fresh applebutter!!!!!

That is an East of here (albeit not by much) phenomenon. Not sure I understand, but of course I've only had the type sold which probably means preserved. WTF is it?
