No, I really did.
After the numerous threads I've started in search of knowledge about a bike I am viewing or a bike I need to view, I acually took a 6 hour drive to the farthest away city away from Green Bay that is still in wiscosin, forked over 100 dollar bills of my hard earned waiting-tables money, and drove back with it on the trailer behind me.
"It" is a 2002 Kawasaki Ninja 500r with 10k on the bike, new tires/chain, good sprockets, new battery, great clutch, and a few very small scratches from a fall over from the previous owner.
It was the deal I have been waiting for. Everywhere around here they want blue book plus. Its because these stupid ill-minded people who want to pay obsene amounts of money on a scooter/motorcycle to save on gas. (Which with paying high prices on the bikes, they will never get back)
The price I got it for was $1800 dollars even. The Blue book excellent condition price was $2965. Its funny because a local motorcycle dealer wants 3495 for a 1999 500r, dropped on both sides, and then this: (this one really gets me)
As I was walking into my bank to retreive the hard earned cash, I spotted a bike on the "For Sale" board. It was a 2002 Ninja 500r. Same color, same miles, same year. Freaky right? It was 3500 DOLLARS. I Just though that was a good omen, and I got a good laugh out of that.
Sadly, Since I am 16, (turning 17 on saturday) I have yet to get my motorcycle licence, and without so much as my temps, I do not have a licence plate. And with that said, I can't ride it for a day or two. AHHHHHH!!!!!!
Well I got a bike. Its not a 600, its not a Liter, its not a hayabusa, its a intermediate sports bike, and I am proud of myself for being responsible.
Just thought I would let the people who helped me find out what I need to know, know that I now have a bike.
