Nothing comes close to the feel of a bike. Certain cars come close but nothing can get you that same feel.

I really need another bike.

Have fun with it. I owned one last season. It was 08 graffiti edition. This bike got power everywhere.

This is when I had it into Konica Minolta Edition (with white wheel on the front).

So very true. Theres just something about feeling, even smelling every thing around you. A convertible comes close, but theres just another whole level of connection, having to shift your weight and working all 4 limbs. Alas, I've had to sell the bike (just an SV650 for me) due to a change in my priorities, hence the switch to 4 wheels. I'm sure the BRZ won't disappoint.

Everybody stay safe out there!

Huge congrats on the CBR, they're really nice machines. I guess I am holding out on buying a new bike this year to buy the FR-S, but I get to ride demos home on behalf of the dealership. I will hopefully be using a GSX-R (since we're a Suzuki dealer) for the majority of the summer.

And I love the red/white combo, it is the best color debut for 2012 across all sportbikes in my opinion.

Congrats! Ride it in good health.

Ive got two bikes, though Im looking to downsize. One is an 88 Honda Hawk GT (staying), the other is an '08 Triumph Daytona 675 (selling).

Stay safe man!

I have to say, new Gixxer 600/750 is nice. It's starting a thousand more expensive than competitor, but it has got the whole package from factory.

If you can find a 2011, we were selling non-currents new under msrp (a lot). But we've sold out.

It'd be a toss up if we also sold Honda.
