    1.5 liter engines are great. I wouldnt recommend getting rid of your truck, keep it as a spare vehicle(ie to haul stuff that is usually much too large to fit in a compact) and use the jap car to get you around town

    im not going to go out and get the biggest fastest thing i can find, i am actually quite wary of trying to go fast on one. I think i just want one to cruise to the lake and back and to use as a cheap means to work

    Sounds like you need a V6 mustang

    hahahaha

    I know a lot of people that get all into the motorcycle **** and they go out and get a GSR600 or whatever the **** it is and end up destroying it within a month.

    Thats the right way to do it, I'm sure you've seen fellow solders buy bike that where way beyond there riding ability.....Ends bad every time.

    The SV is a fun bike to ride and it does have some good speed to it and since its a V-twin it has that nice low down torque that is great in the city.

    Until I realized that I need a car all to myself I never really paid any attention to all the different types there where out there....The Mazda seems to be a good buy as it has the room I want in a car and is cheap.



    If I could only get a GT 500.
