There are a lot of good used HD's out there in that price range. Ooops just saw you said you were going Whipple.

I love my rare CGM..... especially with the Razzi. No need to change perfection

Just glad you detailed the 'fully blown' for $13K. My answer was a lot different before I saw that.

Yes they are, but I can't picture myself buying anything else. My cars and trucks have to be chevy and my bikes have to be harleys.

Whipple sounds like a good idea.

i can respect that but if things were diff i would be cruiseing in a 45th now

If it were me I'd use it for basic mods, and save the rest.

I've had a sport bike and I loved the hell out of it. Part of me says do that- but they're dangerous, and eat through tires even faster than these cars...

Mod the car.

altho my better half rode bikes for most of his life, and I like riding as well, we talked it over because traffic around here has gotten worse and worse, and it seems in the last couple years more and more people are dying on their bikes, even when they weren't in the wrong. We decided to get rid of the Dyna Glide and buy the Camaro. Still a sharp vehicle, safer, fun to drive as well, and we can even talk to each other while we're riding...

And we love modding the car, too!

Ok, you're going to go with a Whipple....what does she get if its the better part of the deal?

njdad61 · 08-13-2011, 06:40 PM

I sold my Gixxer 750 for more $$$ down on my Camaro, so you can guess my answer... But I'd go with a Maggie.

On another note... If this is your first bike, steer clear of any sportbike bigger than a 600. R-Type bikes are practically race-ready nowadays. Take your time and learn on a smaller bike to keep from becoming a smear on the highway.

I was about to ask that , if kids are in the pic , hold the money for lets say 3 or 4 months ,then do the blown thing if you still want that .

Get blown just with a maggie IMO

TOMS1SS · 08-13-2011, 09:24 PM

Neither, I'd pocket the 13k.

Iron Lung Jimmy · 08-13-2011, 09:39 PM

Why does everyone want to put 100 lbs in the nose of a car that is already way too heavy?

I'd build an awesome NA motor and do some suspension work. That would be way more enjoyable than making it even more nose-heavy.
