Ok, I think everyone on here knows I'm nuts about 300ZX's. Anyways, I'm in the process of saving money to buy a new car when I go to college, and I've wanted a bike for a while, but I don't think I could afford buying a new car, and a bike.

I could stic with my mustng, and buy a bike, or I could sell the mustang, and buy a really nice Z.

What do you guys think? Mind you, this is in about 2-3 years, so it could be a while, but I want to start thinking now.

IMO, go for the bike. I mean, you can't exactly bring the bike with you everywhere like your car, but you already can drive Auto and Manual, why not go for the bike? I mean, there's nothing like the rush of a bike in the open air!

thats what i'm thinking. I'll take 50+ mpg over 16mpg too. I'm still not sure though. maybe, I'll save up enough money, and sell the mustang, and buy a bike and the Z, but I doubt that will happen.

yes there is. hearing the turbos spooling at 7000RPM with the top down on a warm summer night, flying through tehe twisties.

YOUR TURBOS ARE STILL SPOOLING AT 7K RPM!

lol, jk

If my finances allow, i'll definitely buy both, I'm just not sure which one I would buy if I could only have one.

eagle, if it matters any...my vote would definitley be for the 300zx (read: teh sex).

I would go for the Z... Theres somthing about going at 80mph with nothing to protect you except a leather jacket and a helmet.

Sorry My bud died this way.

The insurance will rape you on either!

Then again... with this age group, the insurance will rape you for ANYTHING.

Ok, let's put it this way. For guys in your age bracket riding between 2-4 am, the chances of them dying are 45,000 times more likely than normal, everyday car driving. While a motorcycle may seem cool now, trust me, a car is a MUCH better decision!

What will you do in the rain when you have a bike?

Personally id go with the Z, i used to have a Kawasaki Vulcan 800, and living where everybody is in such a rush to get everywhere on crowded s treet, i damn near killed myself on that thing,

+ the Z is a damn nice car

Actually, I looked and if I was crazy enough to only get liability, it wouldnt' be all that expensive, but liability isn't what you need on motorcycle insurance, injury protection is what you need, and thats what's the most expensive.

Thats why i would keep my mustang if I got a bike, to ride if it was raining, or at times when bikes aren't exactly feasible.

It also wouldn't be my main mode of transportation. I would ride it on the weekends for just rides, or on short trips and stuff when I don't need to carry anything. I could ride it to classes too so I could just carry my back pack.

My friends dad has a Honda CBR1000, and he has never even fallen off or scratched it. he always wears full gear, and I don't think he's ever even thought about doing a wheelie. He really only rides it on the weekends, so its got barely any miles on it also. He is probably the most conservative person I've ever met though. he gets his excitement out of his porsche boxster S.

Thats how I see myself, but thats what everyone says.

I'd rather get a R32 for teh price of a Z32

eaglecatcher · Post by **eaglecatcher** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 5:35 pm

i'm not crazy about the R32. I'm in love with Fairlady Z's though. Such a cool name.
