Tough Decision...
I have $2500 and I am going to be making an investment in the near future.
I will be taking one of two paths
#1- H22a Motor, Tranny, ECU($2000), 5spd tranny swap(approx $500)
and my boy has a turbo connection that gives him one everytime he asks(free)
all I would need to pay for is the piping,IC,BOV. so If I choose door #1 then a turbo setup will follow in a few months
#2- 2001 White Yamaha R6 w/ 4,000k miles($2500)..Cleeeaaaaannn
so there you have it..my debate w/ myself, please let me know what you would do w/ the money. and no there is no other options. Im doin # 1 or 2..
Thanks

2. definitely.
like ^ said. It's going to be extremely difficult trying to make back even a little of the money from a turbo project.

#1, bikes are way too dangerous. Think of how that CL will sound and feel with the 5 speed. Besides, bikes are fair weather friends. You can't ride them safely on wet pavement, and people just are not careful. You could get smacked by some jackass. There was a thread about a guy who was cut in half after crashing at 100+ miles an hour. If I remember right, it even had pics, pretty fucking grusome.

thanks for all of your opinions..I still cant make up my damn mind but I am considering all the things u guys said.
as of now I am leaning towards my car..I dont know if I want to trust myself on a bike yet, I'm a bit of a speed freak(like cocoa said) and I think I might kill myself in a couple months.

Go for the motor man, I've known too many people that died on bikes. Not just you being a speed freak u have to worry about, it's the other retards on the road.

Ask people you know about getting a bike, just about everyone you ask will know someone that was either killed or severly injured on a bike. Well, at least thats what kept me from getting one.
Get the engine, cars keep you dry and safe.
