Hahaha, good story man. A friend actually offered to sell me his ´88 GSX-750 since he´s looking for something newer. He said the same thing, 7k-11k range HOLD ON and keep your weight forward. It´s got 21k on it, and is a little hefty for what I´m looking for, but the thing is mint and a BLAST to ride I´m sure. I´ll let you know what happens with it, definitely a tempting purchase if the price is right.
