What year zzr600 you thinking about??? Go used and use the xtra $$$ to buy comfortable gear.

There are those that will tell you that you will get tired of it but if you love sport bikes that will never happen!!!!!!! There's nothing like droppin' 2 gears and slammin' the throttle!!!!!!!!!!

My vote for car mods. Though a bike will get better gas mileage, as someone else stated they are uncomfortable, especially the crotch rockets, I get a nasty cramp in my hip when I ride them and have almost beefed it a few times due to it.

You allready have the car plus you can drive it in the rain and snow and you're less likely to die driving it.

I'm also kind of old school and enjoy muscle cars over bikes. Had a Fat Boy for a while but it's close to suicide to ride it around the ATL metro area.

A classic car can be a great deal of fun if you buy one that's in nice shape but not in show condition. Show cars cost serious cash and then you're always worried about the slightest blemish. Just can't be driven except in perfect conditions and VERY carefully. I have a 72 442 Ragtop (stock) that is condition 8.5 and it's a great ride and easy to work on. Same on a 65 Mustang with a built 351 Cleveland.

Just a suggestion but warning, it does become an addiction, like any other cool hobby. I know this wasn't a poll option, but my .02.
