....or a Yamahopper RZ500.......if I had an extra $20 lying around, this could be a contender...

We both know that multiple bikes become work quickly, but having 2 isn't so bad, as long as they are different.
I have my "03 Gsxr1k that I need to finish(I could put on a few more parts that I have and ride it again, but I want to do full suspension first).
My friend's '18 Gsxr1k that I keep is awesome...but I talk him off a ledge every couple weeks...or else my basement would have Every generation Gsxr1k in it.
He also wants yet another ZX7 or ZX9, as we both like them and the mid 90's CBR 600's and 900's, Gsxr SRAD's, the list goes on...but they're still all inline 4 cylinders, and bikes that at least one of us had once upon a time.
I told him he needs a TL1000R, v-twin, something fun to ride that's different than most sportbikes.
He agrees...but says he's going to buy a Honda Grom soon, lmao...and I couldn't tell him no either...bring it over...I'll ride that too!
If I had money to burn and didn't have to work full time, I'de quickly end up with too many bikes.
I'de also really like to put modern suspension and brakes on a '70's or '80's classic, like we were talking about in another thread, as I like working on them too(without a time frame to finish).
My stepson can get his motorcycle learners permit this coming June, so I have been looking for the right bike(whatever that may be, likely a dual-sport), that is in need of some work, so I can show him how to fix it all.
I also know a guy who want's me to get his mid '70's CB750 running again.
It's been sitting inside for years, all the gas was drained(gas tank looks new inside), and was running well.
So a carburetor clean or rebuild and sync, it needs an airbox, and will need chain and sprockets, brakes/calipers rebuit, fork seals, a battery, and a valve check or adjustment.
It looks really good, but sounds somewhere between a fun project...or a headache that I'll regret touching, lol.
