Got a motorcycle instead - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BronxBomber13 · 03-22-2012, 06:30 PM

I never planned on being one of the first owners of the 86, but I definitely wanted one in my future. A few weeks ago i bought a new cbr600rr, and i think I'll have more fun with it than with a car. Also, I wasn't too happy about the price(thought it should be more even with the civic SI). And so i wish you guys luck with the new car, and I'll see you on the streets.

Nice mini-blade!! Congrats on the purchase and I'm 100% sure you'll have more fun on this thing than the FR-S!

Bikes are definitely more fun than cars but I just can't justify the price of a new 600. My plan is to get a used or smaller bike (Ninja 250R) for under 4k. Ideally I'd have my Eclipse GSX for winter and a Scion FRS/motorcycle for summer. The problem is insurance and taxes.

Congrats!!! Have an awesome time on that CBR and be careful out there.

Being car-less is fine when your solo but the gf, house mates, even my brother have said they just don't call/do stuff with me sometimes because I dont have a car and its not an option. Im still looking forward to getting a whip, be it a $4000 civic off craigslist or an FR-S.

I decided to buy a motorcycle a little over two years ago. I bought new because when it's your life on the line you don't take chances with tires, breaks, clutch, ect. I road a old beater off craigslist when I was learning and then I upgraded to this 2009 Kawasaki VN900.

That is the best color combo, love the retro theme.

I got a 2011 leftover dual sport Suzuki DR-Z in January. Can't wait to whip this thing on the trails this summer!

Koomoo · 03-22-2012, 07:10 PM

i was also will decide on a bike if the FRS/BRZ becomes unreachable for me.... but i can only see myself on a Cruiser/Trike

ENJOY THE BIKE

I was thinking the CBR600F2. I peronsally like the old 80's to 90's color themes/combos on most bikes. These days the color combos look like a retarded monkey has been painting them.

Great bike! I currently ride it's bigger street fighter cousin the CB900F (919 or Hornet). It's a serious sleeper bike, and I love it, although I'm considering trading it in on a Goldwing because BikerBabeHawk won't ride it two up, and she wants to do some cruising this summer/fall.

Anyway, have fun and ride safe!

Absolutely!

My first sportbike was a '95 900RR that was this color scheme. I'm a little bias but this was a smooth pattern, along with the Smoking Joe colors!

Thanks guys! The paint theme looks even better in person and turns a lot of heads when I ride. But in turn I lose some sleep just keeping an eye on it lol.
