Whao you can tell even from these photos loool... damn, honestly I am a super noob at bikes, but yes, all my friends said that this bike has the "correct" spec loool

- picked it up for a steal too from an acquaintance, barely paid over 3K, clean title, 29KKM, 05, yes the bike has been down before on both sides, but light scratches, original fairings. no cracks, and now I wont feel bad if i drop it (knock on wood)...

I was scared shitless during the test ride... this is actually my first ever bike (I just did PRS last week)... I know I know... you shouldnt start on a 600CC sport bike...

3 of my friends started riding on...
-R6 as first bike
-Gixxer600 as first bike
-848 as first bike

But yes, for the whole duration of the test ride my head was like (HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT upshift upshift upshift) looks down... I only revved to like 4000rpm on 5-10% throttle lolol....I think I got up to 70km in 3rd, never went into 4th or 5th during the test ride lool....

After getting insurance...

Gonna wait for clear Saturdays early mornings and find a deserted area and just try to get the basics down (so different from the PRS learner bikes)...

Anyone can die on any bike, it’s up to you to be safe and know restraint. This is more bike that 90% of riders can handle or take full advantage of, so just be respectful to the engineering and you should be fine

acrophobia 03-17-2021 08:51 PM

^ Spot on. Stay hyper aware of your surroundings and respect the machine, and you’ll be just fine!

Better photos to come soon, I did a thing today!!
Wasn't quite the ND2 Miata I wanted, but the S2k community has been awesome.

Dealing with a 2nd gear grind when cold and the 3rd gear bump, some minor cosmetics to deal with but should be ready in time for summer!
If anyone knows of a set of Ap2v1 wheels for sale, holla!

Thank you! Got lucky when I was doing insurance and was able to snag the 911 plate.

Looks like a clean example! Was this ever listed for sale online? Don't think I saw it on Craigslist at all

Looks great! If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the ballpark on what you paid? I haven’t owned an e30 for about a decade. Don’t see them around much anymore. But when I do, they still turn heads!

dared3vil0 03-18-2021 06:10 PM

Aww man you guys are making me want another bike. Should of never sold the MT09 I had last season...

From the island? Was very attractively priced. Interested in the overall condition. Have you had a good look around the underside?

So this frigging bike was on my ass for almost 4 hours on a trip from Revelstoke, right to my bloody garage!

OH COME ON RIGHT AFTER I POST ABOUT HOW MUCH I MISS MY MT09

conrgats though. Just be careful, it pulls the front tire up harder than any liter bike i've ever seen.

I took it for a quick rip around the neighborhood when I got it home, and the first time I opened her up it almost bucked me off the back; I definitely didn’t expect that kind of acceleration after riding my little enduro or even my cruiser. And this is an fz-07...an extra 200cc would be crazy!

Oh yeah the MT09 was insane. I rode a CBR1000RR for a few months before I bought the MT09 and while the CBR obviously would have been faster, the MT had so much more torque it would try to go over backwards in 4th gear at highway speeds. It honestly got old quickly as you had to position yourself so carefully and even if you were up on the bars when you shifted 2nd to third it would try to dump you backwards at 100mph.

It was a bike that NEEDED electronics to ride safely, and mine had no traction control no abs, no wheelie control, not a single electronic. Sketchy as fuck.

Picked up a beater 2004 R53 Mini Cooper S for when it's safe to visit my folks in Vancouver again. Not looking forward to the BMW bullshit this car comes with.

Im pretty sure if there's anything worse than a BMW, it's a mini
