Well, it's been crazy...I will try to make this short and sweet but the rundown is this:

I originally was going to go to school at my old school which meant not needing to replace my car very soon. Because of this it made sense to purchase a nice new motorcycle, I had even considered moving to a southern state to ride my bike year round and go to school in the warm...but I like skiing so I stayed

So I decided to transfer schools shortly after I put a deposit down on the Ducati Hypermotard (which I still lust after greatly, it's an awesome bike). I now commute 90 minutes each way to school (luckily only have classes two days a week even though I'm a full-time student). Because of this I needed a new car to put the miles on so I had to take my motorcycle money and get a car. I was going to get a new Subaru BRZ but my dad changed his mind on co-signing after I met the requirements which he never thought I would (got a big enough down payment for <$300/mo payments). Anyways, after he told me no on the BRZ I was like "screw this, I'm getting something fun still" and went out and bought the CBR with part of my saved up down payment!

Now to find a used WRX or something...

Pics are in the Off topic forum in my "Back on two wheels" thread, just about to add some now too.

This is true...but it would have been a sweet bike to have, maybe in a few years...I saw an older Hypermotard at my schools parking garage the other day though
