Currently have a 94. Been riding her everyday since 08. So yeah I'm way attached. Think the 93 has 12k miles so its almost a steal. I paid $550 for my 94. Honestly though I'm also looking at a 98 vtr1000. Always had a secret crush on the bike. I know the cbr well. Well enough that I trust this beast could tow no problem. I'm not afraid to get into the corners either but let's be honest though, she has her limits there. The vtr has that edge and its in same price range. Never road a vtr though so I don't know how it'd fair touring compared to the cbr with the way I deck it out. Ill add a picture hour or so from now when I get home.

Condolences all around. Major bummer. Props for blowing up an indestructible bike though!
You said your wife rides an SV?? Do yourself a favor and buy one... the carb'd sv650s is just about the greatest bike ever built. Every bike I've ever bought I've loved but it all started with me shopping for the SV...

I was tight on money and bought a cheap chain & sprocket set. I optd for the non-o-ring thinking it'd be fine just need more maintinence. Turns out the chain I have seems to have slightly thinner metal, assuming meaning lower tensile strength. My guess is this should have been on a 500cc bike with 530 sprockets. Didn't even snap at the master link (rivet). Just horrible luck. I've looked around and found a few engines in the mentioned range... but I've found a '93 not far from me around $1700. Its in much better shape than mine... but I feel like id be cheating on mine. Bikes been good to me. Got it at 17k miles in '08 and now I've got 65k.
