Listed the Vmax. It's been fun owning a bike I dreamed about for 10 years. But with the new one in the garage, I have no need for 3... this one needs repair so it's getting booted

It's a lot of fun and it's a comfortable bike. I'll miss it. Maybe I'll get another one in the future without the second gear issue.

After taking the new bike for a ride yesterday, I'm so happy with the performance and looks I'm once again considering selling the F2. The only thing I really miss is the sound of the F2

I could see selling it. They are very similar bikes, doing similar things. I could see keeping two if they were different styles. A dual sport, a cruiser, a tourer something like that. My Fury and my Yamaha are very different critters.

I am thinking my next new bike may very well be electric.

The $$$ would be nice haha

You mentioned that before, I haven't even thought about that. I will start to look into them, not that I need another bad decision to make

I could never get a bike that doesn't make noise. Nothing makes me more giddy than revving the piss out of the engine at some college girls

I like loud too. Exhaust is expensive for my new bike, if I sell both bikes I will probably splurge to make my new one loud. Loud pipes save lives

I had no intentions of a new one until the day before I bought it haha
I couldn't afford a liter bike new, I really love the new cb1000r. But my 650f was half the price.
I'm hoping things work out and I will still have money to finish my Ranger this year
