Hot damn, SL350. Very nice.

Can't wait to get out there.

VTR is still in the Stable. but after getting my g/f's SV650, and the ease with which it starts, EVERY SINGLE TIME, no need to pull the choke, no need to fiddle with the carbs if i change the exhaust or filter...the VTR was tired...70K on the sucker...i decided to see whats out there with all the cheap bikes popping up in US.

managed to snag this bad boy for a good price.

I must say the convenience of Fuel Injection is pretty tempting, but I think u still need to tune the map if an exhaust or filter is added.
Nice bike nonetheless

Oh absolutely, but now tuning consists of getting a used PC3 and downloading a map...

i remember tuning the carbs for the Yoshimuras on the VTR. three times the tank, airbox and carbs had to come off to set the main jet, pilot jet and needle shim properly, and its still not running 100%. Technology marches on. lol
 
Just picked up an '07 CBR 600RR in mid Nov, can't wait for spring to come!

It's still in parts. Going to assemble it and take it on the trails.

I got Drew into riding I'm going to show this to him J. He might like it. though I think he's stuck in CC-land. Tried to talk melissa into a cb350 like you and I got a rant about old things being dangerous. sigh.
 
This is my new ride albeit with the wrap around rear speakers and the saddlebag rails added. I got it in October and put a riders backrest and some kuryakyn stuff on it, it rides very nice.

True true.

I was lucky to tune it perfectly in one shot. It felt right and I dear not mess with it too much. I guess I got lucky
 
I'll be keeping my 650R for another year I think.

I bought a SAAB 900 SE in December. Does that count as a new ride for 2011?
