What to do with tax rebate?

1) Sell Bugeye, get new WRX with 2.5 cause the lag on the bugeye is really bothering me.

or

2) Keep Bugeye, and get this for commuting?

I'd get the R6. That way, you can stop putting the miles on the subie and save on gas.

Don't get the pokemon face, keep the bugeye and get the R6. I hope this isn't your first bike. Keep the rubberside down and try not to be too much of a squid.

yah, I got up/dp/reflash...I thought it was okay until I drove my friend's forester xt. I guess there's no replacement for displacement after all.

btw...no it's not my first bike...i rode a 250 exclusive in college when I was poor and eating top ramen. I probably shouldn't jump to the R6 and pick up something like the SV650...but damn, the R6 just looks so nice.

Well, if you haven't rode b4, then a SV can be ok, but you'll get bored of it in like 2 hrs. Plus, it looks wack lol. Stick w/ the R6. Get the raven black...mmm. There's always the gixxer 600, honda 600RR, kawi zx-6r.

Newbie bikes = SV650S, Ninja EX500, Yamaha Yzf-600r, Ducati 749ST, etc.
