A couple other naked superbikes to consider... closer to 130hp though. The Tuono  and the SuperDuke

Z3n posted:Honestly the best bike in that category is the new multi. Nothing else really compares. I'd probably go with the S2000, it's the only one with Japanese reliability, and a retractable soft top.

Replacing the piston and connecting rod is very common on two strokes, it will set you back maybe $200 in parts. This is done because blow by is a bigger problem on 2-strokes. It dilutes the intake charge, they start to lose power and become harder to start as the rings wear. Edit: Or maybe the just lose compression faster, whatever the reason, it's normal.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:I live in an apartment with no garage, so it's going to be fun figuring out how to make the bike look complete when I'm not with it so I don't get ticketed for having a dismantled work in progress parked on the curb. Get a bike cover and you can leave it on the center-stand with no rear wheel if you need to.

You can see a couple marks on the stanchion in one of the pictures, can't tell if it's damage though.

You're looking for a cruiser as a first bike right? That sounds pretty much ideal. I don't think there are any specific issues to be aware of with it. You'll just want to look at normal wear and tear stuff, condition of the brake pads, fluids, tires, and air filter.vwman18 posted:I interact with a lot of people at their homes due to my job. Today I saw an old guy puttering in his driveway with a for sale sign on his motorcycle, so I stopped to talk. He's moving to a retirement community down the road and they don't allow motorcycles. He said he's been trying to sell it for a few months. Its a 2001 Yamaha VStar 650, 18200 mi, seems to be in really good shape. He put on saddlebags, fork bag, windshield, battery tender, and aftermarket pipes. It fired right up cold and idled with no issues, no obvious leaks anywhere. He said he'd take $2200 for it, which sounds pretty reasonable to me. Anything I should look for? I'll see if I can get some pictures later, if they're needed.

I think an older R1 makes a great street sport bike. Good torque, ergos aren't too crazy, fairly cheap, oodles of power. Oh and it still looks good.
