That's a very nice bike Martin! I love Yamaha's, especially the 5 valve inline 4's and the very sweet two-stroke sport bike. The FZR’s are very quick and nimble machines. They literally scream. They are very fun machines to ride. They are a BLAST to canyon carve too, but some time down the road you will find that 400 cc’s will be down on power and you will crave more. What ever you do not sell the 400 you will regret it forever. It’s only later on that you realize just how much fun it was to ride….

Motorcycles were my first form of transportation. I rode bikes for years. I have put many many miles on more than a few of them. I hold out hope (I still have most all my riding gear) that someday I will again own another sport bike. What people tell you is true. Motorcycles are very dangerous. You’re a moving target or better yet a moving non-target. People (car, trucks, etc…) just plain don’t you. I had more than my share of accidents, but I was lucky each time….

Good luck and be careful. You never know what someone else will do. That is a fine piece of machinery; enjoy it very much….

Nice Bike. My fiancee is totally opposed to bikes so it's not worth it to me to get one.

By the way that is an awesome picture of your car. Very nice. The wheels, the angel eyes, and the red paint just set it off. Nice pic as well.

Nice man. I might end up buying a bike this summer to get to work and class. Would save TONS of money in gas. (You especially know what I'm talking about!)
