But good luck on the hunt. I'll keep my eye out for some street bikes. (What was your budget and would you be open to more than a 250).

Oh. Another buddy of mine almost picked up a 2006 GSXR1000 for $2000. It was a totaled bike but was only totaled because of the fairing damage. Frame, rims, forks, engine, etc were perfect. I can see if it's still available for you. Just kidding. I think it was one of those friend's friend's knew a friend type deal.

Yeah if you find anything throw it my way. Im looking for a 250, SV650, CBR F4i/F4/F3, Katana for around $2000-$3000. Im finally getting all my financial stuff sorted out so maybe this time I can actually get one. Id take that Gixxer1000, I can only ride whatever I get around the neighborhood right now anyways. Id get plenty of practice .
