Ok gentleman and ladies. Here is my dilemma I have a baby boy on the way. I need to pay off my truck and get the wife a car. So do to this either my 1992 Ford Mustang, or CBR 954rr has to go. Both are worth about the same money (mustang 6K, cbr 954rr 5k). Both I am very attached to, and I have A LOT of extras in both of them, both are payed for the mustang needs a paint job and that’s about it. The Cbr needs nothing. Which should I sell, neither isn’t a option and I love both of them. Below is some specs.

Which one to you take out more often? You can always throw the kid in the stang. Is the stang a daily driver (or can it be)? the bike would probably be cheaper to replace down the road when you have a little spare cash and/or time. If you sold the bike does that mean your gonna leave us?? Not any easy decision.
I'm kinda in the same boat, but its a no brainer for me, need the truck for work, have too much fun on the bike, Dont drive my Talon Tsi anymore. The Talon goes!

 

the mustang is a daily driver. But then so is the bike unless its raining. Then I still have the truck. Yes I agree with you the bike will be cheaper to replace. I have ALOT (ok TOO MUCH) money in the mustang. probally over 8k. I don't even want to tally it up. I could always get another 954 down the line for a little over 3k. or maybe upgrade to a 08 1000rr one day, when the price comes down.

 

OK heres my . If you need the money fast, put em both up for sale and see wich one goes first, buyers make the choice for you! If you got some time, (i hate to speak such blasphemy) I would sell the bike. I think would be easier to replace.
Can't you just shake down a badguy or something, lol
Good luck, hope it all works out for you!

 

well I'm not in a hurry to sell either. Not till I get back to the states. Heck I don't know I may keep both I'm still undecided.

 

You said you have a truck, so with that being said I choose the Mustang. I am a huge Mustang fan but I remember when I sold my 96 YZF 600 and was miserable until I got my F2, 4 yrs later. The moment you sell your bike you are going to regret it hands down.

 

Wife is telling me not to sell ANYTHING. Hell I dunno she has ALOT of say so. (sorry guys) so I'm gonna chat it up with her. See whats going to happen.

 

if one must go, I said the 'stang. You got 4 wheels in the truck and will gain another 4 wheel vehicle in the car you get for the wife.

But I only see 1 2 wheel vehicle in your lineup

 

Neither! lol.. then again you are talkin to guy with 2 Mustangs and a bike.. Also.. no offense.. but you will never see anywhere near $8k for that stang, especially needing paint... it is relatively a mild setup... and people just arent buying nowadays.. I have easy over $20K into my 88... I'd be lucky to see $10K for it if I had the right buyer... my other one (99GT) is a stockish daily driver though... if the wife is telling you to keep them both.. listen to her.. then take her out to a dinner date to say thank you.

 

he said 6k bud....bubba, depending on how nice a car you want to get yer wife...you can always build,find a nice bike down the road, but its hard(expensive) to build up another hotrod(i know). tough decision... just to let you know i had to make the same decision when my son came along, i let my F2 go, glad i did , theres no way i could replace my 67 cougar...
