man this thread makes me miss my dirtbike! and wish I could afford a street bike!

You'd be surprised. My payment per month was $75, insurance about $30/mo, and I saved enough in gas over driving my car that it paid the payment and the insurance. My car got 24mpg, the bike got 52. So if you drive a truck that gets 15mpg, vs a bike that gets 50, and you drive it all the time except when it's raining or snowing, you save a LOT of money. If you drive about 1200 miles a month (15k per year) then you could easily save $100 /mo.

Now, you might not be able to pay for a brand new R1 (not to mention insurance on a crotch rocket), but if you find a $3-4k couple year old cruiser, you could.

I tossed my pic into the "Red Dawn" thread, since I've got a Wolverines! sticker. I figured I might as well post a picture up in here, too. Even though it's not quite as hard core as everything else.

2009 Genuine Stella. 150cc two-stroke, 4 speed. 55-60 mph top speed, 75-80 mpg. Strictly street-level around town running. Fun, though!

My new bike!

People doubted being able to get a bike for less than $2k that was a 600cc or larger... I did it, and it's an 800cc... Love it! We should have an Okshooters mini bike rally some time soon.
