Either one you get, you will end up wanting the other later on down the road.

i have a 750 gixxer with my t/a and love them both. the bike is alot more fun and more adrenline rush. but i wouldnt give up the t/a either. id say if you cant get both, get the one that has a good deal right now and save up for the other, because you will end up wanting both if you like speed. i got lucky and found a guy that needed cash right away so he sold the bike for half of what it was worth.

I'm in the same boat. I love my SS and I love my 1000rr. The bike would wax the cars *** and there is nothing like putting a knee on the ground at a buck 30 on a nice track! Nothing on 4 wheels can compare! However, my SS is an aobsolute blast to drive and with a couple turbos, it will be a really fun car . But if I had to choose one over the other, I would probably keep my bike.

Either one will be dangerous to your health. Bikes are wicked fun, but personally I don't trust other drivers enough to be comfortable in traffic...guess I'm getting too old.

I ran into a similar situation right out of college. I was in the process of buying a 96' Dodge Stealth R/T TT when I saw a hyabusa. I could not afford both and I went with the Busa. Well after a few summers and winters later, I realized the the car is fun in the summer and winter spring and fall. It also has AC and Heat. and instead of only one hottie fitting on your bike. You can fit 3 in your car comfortably. I hope this helps you make your decision!

Yeah but the car doesn't wrap the hottie around you like the bike does.

Just wondering...but have half of you that have posted even riden a streetbike? I believe in 2005 all of the 600cc sportbikes were capable of a 10 second quarter mile!!!! These things are wicked fast and look really cool if you ask me. OH I was just saying that if you havn't riden one you don't have a clue of what you are missing, thats if you like to go fast though.
