Ok so I have saved up a nice amount of change and was wondering if i should buy the new cobalt ss/tc or a Raven R1 or Honda Cbr1000rr. Also if i choose the cobalt to you think it would be a good idea to wait till a later date to recieve one,like to make sure their is no big problems or anything or if their will be any deals at a later date, like the employee pricing.

 

Bike > Cobalt

... and I assume you have lots of riding experience if your looking at a 1000

 

^^ x2

 

i would go with the r6, but the r1 is sick too . yeah i would go with a bike and just get like a 2003 civic seriously for the chill car/ when it rains or when you have ppl. bikes are sooo much better...as long as you can ride them.

 

Car>Bike what if it rains??? ever think of that? I mean, unless you already have another vehicle...

 

Yea, already have a secondary vechile

 

Your username makes me think you have already made a decision...

 

OK, then get the bike, worst case scenerio, you can sell it and almost make money on it!

 

Yea i did before i even considered a bike till one of my friends mentioned it, so now im ?ing weither i want a bike or the ss, so i figured id just get some opnions on it.

 

If it runs, and is not a complete POS, get the bike

 

You die easier on a bike.

 

i really hope your not like a few guys i've seen that think just because a 1000 is a bad ass bike that's what you need. if you have never ridden a 600 or 750 then i wouldn't get a 1000.

 

A bike is going to get you into a lot of trouble, unless your smart about how you ride, and your bike is stock.... not like I'm bitter at the cops right now or anything...

+1
It's even a far cry for someone to start on a 600 class.

If you don't rain rip... your not a real rider!
Rain or shine... I ride.

 

i did the whole cobalt ss deal, had my since first year of production, got rid of it last november.

Bike will never get old each spring summer and fall
trust me

 

lifespan on a cobalt>lifespane on a bike look man i grew up riding bikes and have had many (i never even got a 1000 and im a serious rider. nov 30th 2006 i lost my cousin when i first heard about it i ithoght oh he was probably doing a 12oclock wheelie at 80mph or doing 170mph but know he was riding to work doing the speed limit 35 and a ******* flatbed tow truck ran a red light and cut my cousin off he tried to brake and do evasive manuvers but guess what the metal bed is head level when you on a bike and his vertibrae was severed instantly alomst took his head off. then after that he fellff the bike and the rear tires ran over his chest and flatened him like a pancake! ten the driver tried to ran but larry's Brandnew GSXR 07 750 got wedged under the rear axle by the differential and he couldnt get away! We both grew up riding i had many bikes as did he but you never no whats gonna happen! i sold mine i have a really fast modded cobalt and take it to the track for my thrills and i have a YZ250 that i can jump on out in the country if i wanna ride on two wheels!

 

Talk about an odd decision.

If I was looking at a secondary go-fast vehicle I'd be looking at a GTO/F-body/Vette long before a Cobalt. I also reallllly hope you have a lot of riding experience if you are contemplating a 1L bike.

 

raven r1 ftmfw.....only if you have enough experiance, though

 

agreed. Raven R1 might be the most bad ass bike around. if you havnt owned a 600 sport bike, then i would tell you to shut up and get in the car, or a 250 ninja or something.

 

I used to say that.... until I owned a gixxer.

 

the yamahas are going to change the body i think next year so you should wait if your planning on getting one if you dont want an older bodystyle

 

You see there comes a time in every Yami rider's life where you miss mid range and realize it is the key to being fast.




Dude if you have never rode before don't get a literbike

And to all of those stupid cagers talking about rain and whatnot...puddles are a ton of fun.


Lifespan in a cobalt>lifespan in a bike?

What?

If you are squid ass retard then yes...if dude has never rode before and gets an R1 'cuz it is hot' one of two things will happen:

1. He will wreck it and never ride again

or

2. He won't take it past 4k rpms and hang out at starbucks talking about his kneedragging skills with chicken strips the width of the rear tire



The bike is better for performance in so many ways...and if you have never rode on the street before don't get a literbike.

 

Yar.... you a funny guy...

 

If you already have a decent car (ie. not a civic or integra :P) then get a bike. Just don't go out and get a liter bike as your first

 

I have an 03 r1 and love it, go for the bike man.

 

dude even if you rode a bike. you better have a lot of riding time even if you had a 600 or 750 its a big jump to a 1000. I would get a 600 if you haven't rode to much
