Default Feel for ya

Got my z 7 months back after totalling my dream bike. Had just finished modifying my ducati s4rs and was comming up pch when a f250 pulling a huge trailer parked along the side of the road saw fit to pull a u turn. Car next to me panic braking and southbound traffic on the left just grabbed the brakes hard and went into the side of the trailer. Broken femur and a totalled Italian beauty was the result.

Definatly a safer decision to have 3300 lbs of metal around you but will never compare to the feeling an italian superbike will give you. Congrats on the new z and hope your leg gets back to prime. Cheers!

Cool man. I sold my gixxer to get the car as well. I figure I cheated death enough times on that so time for something safer that is fun to drive.

First "mod" will be removing the bra. Next will be installing a stereo system in it. The factory system sucks! I'm also going to have to check on getting cruise control installed.

Beautiful MV, our local Yamaha dealer is also an MV dealer, and I often times head over there to drool over the hardware

Congrats on the Z, I can't wait to pull the trigger myself... a few more paychecks and I should be there!

Just found out that it is a base model and not an enthusiast model like the previous owner thought it was. Not a huge deal but not having cruise control is going to suck since neither Nissan or any of my other local shops will install it on this car.

DUDE WAIT. Cruise control doesn't seem like a big issue. but IT IS. He knew, and if he didn't wtf, what kind of a seller is he if he didn't even research? Don't buy imho, wait a bit, get something you'll be happy with. Or at least think about it.

I see now u already bought it, dam it does look great in blue man... Love it.
