It's a 2006 S2R 800 with 5,800 km. Asking $7,600

Also have a trunk that slides on the rear seat cowl so a helmet and jacket can be locked securely

Mmm, looks like fun. I'd hurt myself on one though, it's inevitable. I hurt myself enough on pedaled bikes.

I'm not sure about BC, I know in Alberta there's a course you can take (they even rent you the bikes for crying out loud) and they teach you pretty much everything, even how to lay down a bike should you need to. Then you get a discount on your license.

The last bike I had (2007 Katana 750) I bent the frame on...so I'm excited to get this beast. And when I say beast I mean it...this thing has 4 pipes running from the engine, 1100 cc...big bike for someone like me (5'7")
Well I have my bike license from the US already. We'll see what they say about riding here. I had a Honda for about 3 years when I lived down in Miami. For me a bike always seemed like a waste with the weather up here but now I am starting to consider it.

Oh and 20K is a bit more than I would actually pay

He did put an insane amount of money into this bike though. I think off the lot it was about $22K when all was said and done (base was $16K, so he upgraded about everything) and then with some of the aftermarket mods, it up to about 30K! Its a 2007, so not too old.

Besides wearing his really sweaty helmet, it was so nice to ride this thing. A little more powerful than I am used to but I could manage

I'm a big fan of cruiser style bikes lately. Alot easier to enjoy the ride on the highway. When I had the Katana any time someone passed me I would have to work a little harder to keep her level.
Thanks, the pipes that are in the pic arn't the ones that are on the bike now. I put the HK bigh 3" straits on it, lot nicer looking. I have also rejetted the carb, removed the air snorkel, put a K'N' air filter on, changed all the oils to synthetic, and made my own set of engine bars. thoes I am not happy with I used 1" pipe to make them and they look skinny on a fat bike, so I am thinking about buying a set of Lindby hi-way bars.

Mind you I am also thinking of trading it in on a new honda also. brand new honda modle comming out this month and it is bad ass

My boyfriend has a blue crotch rocket. He's selling it because he only got out twice last year. I wont' ride on it though. My dad has a REAL bike, I ride on it with him lots. it's a 1998 Harley Davdson FL Classic (funny I don't even know the brand of my bf's crotch rocket). Looks like the pic except the pic is a Classic Ultra, and he takes the hard bags off, which makes the "couch" come off so it's just a flat seat on the back. If he guns it he'll lose me off the back. Now that's fun!!!

I don't have any pics on this puter, but it looks a lot like this one:





I REALLY want a bike. Mine would HAVE to be Vivid Black (semi matte). I don't like chrome on bikes. I love the HD Night Rod Special:


But I wouldn't mind an HD 1200 Nightster:
