Go do a track day, a weekend getaway or buythe new sidi bootsthatI've been wanting - and save/invest the rest.

Tough decision, pppfff - don't waste it !

 

Definately get gear if you don't already. Helmets, boots, jackets, etc can carry over from one bike to the next.

 

I second the idea of spending $1000 or so on what you want for your bike and save the rest for a rainy day (we all have them!). Or, if you've ever wanted another bike this would be the time to do it. But i wouldn't suggest spending all of it on an older bike...you'll never get any of it back out of it ever again.

 

Do a track day! lol

 

Since you have a job, you're eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA. Say you keep $1100 to play with, and put $2500 in. It will grow tax-free, and won't be taxed when you take it out at retirement. If it goes up 8%/year on average, $2500when you're 20 will be $80,000, tax-free, when you're 65.

I'd spend the other $1100 on track days.

 

3600 for a tip-over? someone got hosed on that deal...
save the money...

 

you know what, that part of teh story never even occured to me.

 

I'd get a Repsol fairing kit, PCIII, and keep the rest.

 

save your money or get a newer bike. thats my advice
