I worked on Sunday so I didn't have to work on Friday. Usually we would have Christmas eve and Christmas day off as well as new years and the day before, but one of the perks of this year is that I have all of next week off (and PAID!!! ) because of a mix up between sales and contract negotiations.

If your response was to me on the bike, it does have more than 600cc, its a gsx650-f

techincally 656cc, I didn't want the bike for power, I got it to save money on gas, this gets 58mpg. I was spending up to $300/week on gas (when it was its highest) and I unfortunatly don't get reimbursed for. But the GSX has plenty of power and itsnt uncomfortable on commutes or long trips.

on the other hand, where could you put anything bigger to good use around here? i feel like 600-700cc bikes are perfect for this area. there aren't many places where anything bigger would be able to open up.

sorry, i meant to say sportbike 600cc and up..my mistake and i understand why you got it and it's perfectly legitimate, i'm just saying that your gonna want something a little higher class eventually, it's just the way it is with bikes, unless your really good about that it then more power to you mang.

I started out on 75 cc's and moved my way up and now i want either a liter bike or a busa...preferably a busa for road trips.
