New Bike or New Car?

I have two choices.....either get a bike (gsx-r, cbr...) or get a new car. If i get a new car its either WRX STI or is300 or EVO. If i get the bike i wont really need to worry about gas cause ill still have my vic. I mean there is alot of pro's and con's. Want to know what you guys would do.

i'd get the bike more fun... and you would probably get more gas from it rather than the vic

Hey Mike, I got a friend who is selling his 2001-2002 (he doesnt remember) Yamaha R6. Only has 180 miles on it since he barely rode on it. I can vouch for that since the bike has been in Colorado and hes been here in so cal. Just brought the back here. Looking for $5000

Thats if you want a bike. If you want a STI, gimme a call and we'll go to Renick where Im sure you'll get the best deal from Mitch (the guy I bought my car from)

umm.. get the bike because you already have a commuting car(vic) .. why get a 13/14 second car when your bike could hit 10/11 ? If your going for speed dont get another car.. thatyl just make it harder to descide for parts on upgrading.. bike is simple.. can go 160 eaaaasssyy .. cars just dont.. already have a car.. take the bike out on weekends. You will get more attention with a bike than a Evo wherever you go.. guranteed..

Get the GSXR so I can put a retrofit on your bike, haha. If you own a bike you are pretty much the fastest thing on the road, but yeah, there's the part about having no barrier to protect you if you get into an accident that you can't ignore.

tyrone has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I'd get a bike! I love mine.. Been a rider for about 5 years now!!!

But the BIG question is do you have a M class license?

Bike will smoke a car anyday.... and will cost say 25,000 less than a STI.. pocket the 25,000 for something more useful!

I got a 2002 honda cb750.. its not a sports bike... but it still does 12 sec quarter miles stock.... I hate sports bikes because they are uncomfortable to sit on if you like doing long rides!!! But if you want to just ride around town, sports bike is cool! If you plan on doing long hauls... you gonna bust your back!
