What would YOU do with a stock busa and $5,000.00?

This is for Frank Adams ,only good motorcycle stock would be Harley-Davidson,they are not making money on their motorcycles but more on their clothes line,yes they are selling alot of bikes but if you go to their shops you will start seeing more aftermarket stuff like chroming and who can afford a Harley,most people can afford the Tee-Shirt and that is why they trade mark their name including HOG and other name brand items that they created.Custom Chrome use to be a good buy but their quality control on their chrome stuff is junk.CMC is so,so.The world is going to change when gas is going to cost more and when that happens that is when the motorcycle stocks will go up.The only things that are keeping these stocks down are the insurance companies and smog restrictions.Suzuki,Kawi,Honda are so spread out with other products their market share is min compaired to Harley.Did that answer the ???????????????????????
 
Cisco, I know I have not talked to you in the past, but if you could email me I would like to ask you a question. my email is gixter711@cs.com if i had an extra 5k i would buy yosh cams, after market drop in pistons, a titanium pipe, and lighten up the bike about 75lbs. doing various things, trying to get it to about 475lbs wet.and maybe take a trip over to cali with the bike. I miss cali
 
DaZee the pictures are from a meeting known as "FISCO" Yoshimura met with the Japanese "Hayabusa Owners Club" (sorry Gary).

The beautiful Yoshimura bodywork is supposed to be available "someday", it is unlikely Yoshimura will sell you something before they can showcase it on their own "Project Hayabusa Streetbike". The Yosh magnesium rearsets are going to be delayed the same way as the bodywork. However you can buy the Tornado hand formed aluminum endurance tank for a mere $4000.

there's an insane idea take the $5,000 and drop $4,000 + tax and shipping and with your change you can get it painted.

Carbon Fiber tanks will be on the market in the end of January for a little less than $900.

If you have not seen this Yosh-Japan street bike, go to DaZee's site and take a look there are several shots of it. (twin headlights)
 
Thanks, Wronglane, about 20 years ago I lost 25000 in the market and shied away since, but I'm still hungry. I'd be interested in the info from turbo1300 also.

Have fun

Over the years I've somehow learned that real estate is almost a no lose. When I read about people making all that money in a short period of time it gets me excited. If I thought I could dump 5000 and make a few it would be nice, but if I got to do a lot of homework, then I already got a lot of that. Still wouldn't mind though :)
I would not obligate anyone for their info.
 
For the record to all the members deciding on what to do with the extra $5,000 or what ever money you have,do your home work and buy stocks on products you use and friends use and yes you will lose money on stocks also from bad advice from friends.I lost $6,000 on Televideo and Carlye Golf.I do not golf but my friend who owns a Golf shop told me to buy Carlye Golf and I should have just gone down to the YMCA and handed them my money.Televideo are crooks in my eyes.My net worth if I cash in today would be $700,000 plus or minus $15,000 depending on the market.I've used some of my money earned from stocks to buy motorcycles of all types.I never go above my head and have been given bad advice by other people.Read everything and learn from everyone cause one day you'll find a stock that will set you free.Remember to give a percent to the church of your choice or go down to a homeless shelter or some place that needs help and give some of your money back to help out the poor.I was once very poor in Hawaii and I remember not having none and the church use to come by and bring us gifts.I always give to the Salvation Army and the local church.Give from the heart and you will receive many more love in return more than money can buy.For the rest of the members who use the money for motorcycle hop up I still would go along with Big Ed's idea.Ride Safe
 
Oh No! Chase is busy enough, don't bother him for a "real time" stock price banner on the top of the screen.

Or have you guys hit upon another great idea, trade while you cruse through Hayabusa.org.

Making money while you check out the latest Busa Business.

Busa Street Journal - ????????????
 
Your welcome Viol8r. That's funny the wife is pushing you,usually women are very conservative.Now is probably one of the best times to get in because fund managers and institutional investors reshuffle their portfolios for the new year coming.Basically,they sell their winners(profit taking)and buy good stocks that have been beaten up.We are coming into what is known as the "January" effect where billions of dollars are poured into the market.This is why stocks typically rise a great deal in the first quarter.So get in as soon as you can and good luck to you.
 
Cisco: This (?????????) was because i was wondering what i might do a "stock"(as in factory)(not stock market) Busa and 5k.

Can you relate?

And Harley's don't interest me....Period!
 
Wronglane, MKB something or other. It was a start up co. having to do with film recovery I believe. Probably a ripoff from the beginning. There was older more experienced people that lost also. And it did go bankrupt. I kept playing for a couple years after that and made about 12000 back. The wife has been asking me to get involved in stocks again, so I really appreciate the info.
 
Cisco>>>>>Great advice! It's nice to see there are kind decent people that give back to the community so that people can have the things we take for granted.

Turbo1300>>>>>Yes,playing in the market can be cruel and it is not for everyone.Many of my positions were down 75% at times but I did not panic and sell them.Most people can't handle the volitility.Remember the daytrader in Atlanta this summer who killed about 12 people including he and his family.I know someone who lost over one half million and this was through a broker.Personally,I think he was robbed and thats why I do everything myself.

Viol8r>>>>>I am curious.How did you lose all that money.Did the company go bankrupt?You asked for info on two of the stocks Turbo1300 has and it follows this sentence.


VLNC is engaged in research and development of advanced rechargeable batteries based upon lithium polymer technologies. It has given a YTD return of 141%.Currently $16.31 per share.


IQIQ provides a set of subscription-based electronic commerce services, designed specifically for the food and consumer packaged goods industries.It has given a YTD return of 443% and is trading at $57.50.

Below are four stocks I have very recently bought for the coming year and believe their growth will be explosive.Remember,nothing is guaranteed!Good luck.


ADSX is a diversified technology firm that specializes in providing services and solutions to the wireless, telecommunications and digital industry, and is organized into four business groups: Services and Solutions, Computer, Manufacturing, and International.This company is expected to generate great revenue in the year 2000 and beyond.It is trading at $6.81 and YTD has risen 146%.

CHTR>>Charter Communications is a brand new stock.Its founder is the co-founder of Microsoft and everything he is involved in has turned to gold.The company revolves around wireless,cable,and telecom services and developement.I think this stock will at least go five-fold in one year.It is trading at $22.94 and is only a month old so no YTD return is available.


CORL develops, manufactures, licenses, sells and supports a wide range of software products including graphics, business productivity, consumer and video applications as well as network computers.This company is involved with Linux which is an operating system which is going head to head with Microsoft.You can download it for free and any stock having anything to do with it is going through the roof.......Witness Redhat.The stock is trading at $30.50 and has risen YTD 499%.

AMTD is an online broker and provides discount securities brokerage and clearing execution services to customers throughout the United States. The Company's primary focus is serving retail customers, who are able to trade secutities through a variety of means, including the Internet.This stock is cheap now.In the spring it was trading at $125.00 before it split twice during the year.It is currently trading at $28.00.Its return for the year is 400% and in four months on 4/13/99, if you sold the stock,you would have made a 748% return!

A lot of people close to me(regular working people,not people already rich) will become millionairs within ten years.If any of you guys in your 20's read this,strongly consider it.You don't have to win the lottery or work like a dog all your life to become very wealthy.I wish I knew this or someone encouraged me at 25(I am 37).Remember,research what you are getting into and be patient.Stay away from tobacco,avoid penny stocks and be careful of drug stocks.

Well,this has absolutely nothing to do with bikes,but if I can enlighten people and help them make money,I am happy for that.I think I'll go sit on my bike now!
