I'll take it one step further then some of you, although some of you may feel the same way as me. I am EXTREMELY ANAL when it comes to my "toys." Here is where I differ from a lot of others.... I use to find cheaper routes and buy used that had all the stuff already on it, but have gotten burned a few times and ended up dumping close to what it would of cost me if I had bought new in the first place. So for the last 8 or so years every thing I buy has to be brand new from the dealer. Then I turn around and dump thousands of dollars in add-ons to a perfectly brand new machine before I even ride it the first time! I guess my biggest expense was my last sport bike. I bought a brand new zx10 a few years ago and turned it into a full blown AMA race bike. I'd be willing to guess I had some where in the ball park of $35,000 in it after everything was said and done. Right now I currently own a '14 rs dps maverick that AReed added a good chunk of accessories to before I even brought it home for the first time, a fully built '12 RM450 that i don't even want to think about how much $ I've tied up in it over the last couple years, and I just bought a new '14 YFZ450R that I'm currently having built.
YES, I have a problem and need medication!
