That's only if he don't get robbed of his money.

@RcJunkie13 ..... Newark? Thats just asking for your first taste of the real world.

 

[RcJunkie13]

if i get it which is highly unlikely… i will ask for him to come to me and maybe pay a little extra for it if necessary

Kid your gunna get your ass handed to you on a 450. Stop kidding yourself and come back down to reality, how tall and what's your weight? Start with a 85 and let that thing kick your ass, you'll be dead on a 450 with no experience. 450's are for experienced riders regardless if it has 2 or 4 wheels.

Junkie, when I was riding regularly on my XJR1300 SP road bike, a 1300cc 240kg naked oil cooled bike that I'd been riding about 4 years at the time, a mate let me have a go of his Honda 450 dirt bike. I rode that thing in full leathers, my weight then would of been about 250lbs, that thing tried throwing me off the back at every opportunity, it was feckin scary to ride. Now this was after I'd ridden a Honda Fireblade at 176mph through Newcastle on the central motorway.
Get experience on a lesser powered bike, learn from our mistakes because as much as we give you poop no one wants to see you hurt or worse.

[Seandonato73]

Got my plates on Tuesday and it's now Sunday and my regi sticker has already been stolen off my license plate. Like WTF! Now I'm going to have to take a day off work to get this sorted. Guess I'm gonna have to look for a license plate cover of some sort.

 

[Rep732]

Wtf? Now I'm just happy nj stopped with that crap years ago. I've learned lately that people just suck

 

[Z.hb71]

Slit up the sticker after you install it. Hard to steel it that way

 

[Rep732]

Excellent idea Z

 

[MonsterAir]

I'm with ya Z, good idea. Think I shoud slit it up and pull a corner off so these bandits know it's not coming off in one peice?

Could do , up to you

We don't have stickers either, but even when we did I didn't put them on just to be a pain in the arse.

There's no ticket for not having the sticker up there?

 

[Seandonato73]

We haven't had registration stickers for some time now, but whenbwe did I never put them on the plate. Just acted stupid.... we still have inspection and emissions can't get around those stickers.

So here's some pics of the good bad and ugly. Paid $3800 how do you guys think I did? 6k miles



Looks like it was dropped or driven into something on left side. Everything is cosmetic so I was willing to overlook it. But. After getting it home and having a nasty after fire issue I noticed this dbag drilled holes into the muffler to I guess get that bap bap sound on decel. Really wish I noticed that cause I woulda paid less. Oh well live ya learn.

I'm thinking new front fairing, engine cover and repainting the left fairing should be around $500 which would bring me to $4300. I'm hoping to get 4500-5k at end of season, am I buggin?? Haven't decided if I'm gonna get a slip on yet.
