Well I was all set to buy the 99 XX. Had the loan, insurance had already started and the day before we were supposed to transfer it to my name the guy decides he likes the bike too much and is not going to sell. Oh well I may have to wait until next year when I get back to the states. I picked up a 94 Yamaha FZR1000 which is in mint condition and only has 10k miles on it. The price was right, it is American Specs, and really is a blast to ride.
