With weather turning cold, used bikes are cheap.. Picked up a nearly stock 2001 SV650S, minor body work scratches, needs carb sync, oil/filter/coolant/brake fluid change, 17k miles. $1250 cash. Lots of potential.

Today's pick: 2003 BMW F650GS, 17k miles. Needs Chain/sprockets, rear brake master cylinder replacement or rebuild. But it does come with a set of BMW side cases. $1500 cash.

Sold my BMW last year, replacing it with another next month: Yes, those are carbon wheels & Ohlins shocks.

Any background info on mileage? Last clutch plates replacement?

Put on some cheapo, lightweight mirrors, universal windshield from a previous bike.. 599 is sitting nicely among my other Hondas:

Yeah, wouldn't feel too bad if it gets damaged or stolen in the Big Apple, which is likely going to be the place I keep it. 599 will replace my 04 Ninja 250 that I sold earlier this year.

It's been nearly one year since my last moto purchase. Today, I bought a 04 Honda 599 for $1600, 15k mi. needs chain/sprockets/tires/front brake pads/lines:

I'm a BMW owner again:

Over two decades on 2-wheel, never had a claim with my insurance co.; only others. Most of my (street-legal) bikes have only liability coverage anyway. Antique, dual sport or trail bikes just get insurance transferred as needed. I keep my bikes mostly stock, not attractive to criminal eyes, never had a bike stolen, with exception of the modded 1977 CT90, that one had the ignition location changed, only I know how to turn it on. Money is only good when you spend them.

I enjoy customizing small Hondas: [/img] I keep one original C90 just because: and I like my mid-displacement V-twins: Large displacement Hondas also: My Daily commuter in metro NYC:
