I agree with everyone else. Get the swap. I know 2 people that have died on street bikes, and everyone I know that rides has wrecked or laid down their bikes at least once.

One of the guys that died just happend 2 months ago. He worked at my work, and he road his bike 15 miles to work everyday. Nicest guy you could ever meet. One night, on his way to work, a little old lady pulled out in front of him and he nailed her. He was doing 40mph and was wearing his helmet....and he died.

The other person I know was a friends friend. He was riding beside a big rig, the diesel cut into his lane forcing him into the opposing traffic and a car going the other way clipped his tire and both people flew off the bike. His girlfriend slid and got a bunch of roadrash but she was ok. She was wearing his helmet. He slid under the truck and his head got run over by the truck. He was pronounced DOA. It was on the news and everything.

I'm not saying bikes arent fun, because I used to ride a 87 yamaha yzf750. I loved bikes and was saving money to get an R6. But there is no way I will ride a bike everyday. I want to get something that I can just take out once in a while. If you do get a bike, just be careful man. Seriously.
