Unless you were switching from sedan to wagon, I'd keep the car and get a bike.

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

well, it's not like i haven't ridden before, but it's been like 4 years, and the previous bike was a rebel 250 for like before shoulder pads were in style...so I'm a bit nervous about jumping to the R6. But I've been reading about how razor sharp it is. And if the handling on the SV650 is too blah...perhaps you're right, I better stick with the R6.

I filed in march electronically...i got enough to make a hefty chunk of a new R6, though I'll likely get a used one. thank you mortgage interest plus points plus medical deductions. basically, thank you itemized deduction.

Get the R6. I'm planning on getting a scooter for commuting this summer, cause gas is just outrageous. A friend of mine who rides says that a 250 Ninja would be great for commuting as well, cause they can be found for less than 4k, and get better mileage than the R6.
