Been riding for over 42 years now. Always-bike.
Lol it's the tourists that come here to blow money. Most Vegas locals aren't hitting the strip to gamble that often. And hauling ass thru the desert on a motorcycle sounds like a better 'waste' of money than throwing everything on black at the roulette tablebike...different tools for different jobs. You've been riding 25 years .....that's what you miss

lives in Vegas and needs ideas on how to waste money......?!?!?!
I have an old 2001 R1 and my R will never be as fast as my stock dinosaur of a bike regardless of mods chucked at it. If you are willing to ride to get your speed fix, the bang for buck of used sportbikes will never be matched. I suggest you do the bike if you still like riding, VFRs sound awesome.
Doing Vegas in the fear and loathing style is better waste of money than gambling.Lol it's the tourists that come here to blow money. Most Vegas locals aren't hitting the strip to gamble that often.

I forgot all about this thread. In the end, I did both.
I forgot how even an average motorcycle makes most any car acceleration seem like a total joke. And this rig has 130hp which is still nothing by current standards. It's crazy.
I was also gifted a little 150cc Honda dirt bike. I've only been out on it a few times, and I was thrown right into the deep end. Biffed it real good a couple of times.
You're not kidding about any of that. This bike is a riot and does most everything at a 7/10 level. Not sure I'd want to tour on it, but as a commuter / joy ride machine, it's tits. Torque 4 days Yo.Those Triumph and Yamaha F09 are the perfect adult play/commuter bikes.
Cheaper than a 600 sport bike, way cheaper to insure, more comfortable & 9/10th the performance.
I’d love to have one, but because Charlotte is home to the absolute worst drivers representing their respective homes states I have no desire to ride on the street here.
Too right.....I feel kinda sorry for those car folk who have never experienced it and can't grasp just how much of a difference there is (and just the whole feel of it as well, exposed to the elements etc.). Same as my old relic which also has about 130bhp (at the back wheel), still blow the doors off most cars without even bothering to change down from top gear in most cases.I forgot how even an average motorcycle makes most any car acceleration seem like a total joke.
