I would love a Honda CBR600RR, but I can't afford to buy anything right now. My girlfriend thinks I would kill myself anyhow, and she may very well be right. But I used to race MX and I would love a sport bike to cruise around on!

You're probably right, I was 23ish when I owned my first bike and I really thought I'd end up killing myself with that much power. I decided to give up riding until I was 25 so I'd mature a bit, and never got around to buying another. Not to mention the insurance, I had a quote from Progressive (usually the cheapest sportbike insurance company) for $5,000 /yr... and considering the used R1 was only $4,500 I didn't consider it to be a smart purchase.

I had a TL1000 for a year or 2.. had to give it up though.. I have a kid to take care of.. it's too easy to go fast on those things.
