I can't decide what to get!!! I know this is a motorcycle forum, so I can anticipate the answers I will get, but that's okay. I posed it on the car forum as well.
I'm trying to decide between a 2nd gen SV650 and a 2009 Nissan 370Z. I've wanted a motorcycle and a Z for years, and now I'm in the position to get either one, but I can't decide.
Pros for the Z:
- Easier for passengers. Not crazy about having a passenger on a bike as a new rider. Won't be giving my buddies rides on the back of a bike, ever. Can take a girl out to a nice dinner in a Z, not so much on a bike.
- More practical. Can be used as a second car if something happens to my truck. Could be driven in winter if need be, or for fun, weather permitting.
Pros for the SV:
- More fun! The experience of riding a bike vs. driving a car. Even though the Z would be fun to drive, it wouldn't be the same.
- Cheaper! Used SV is 1/6th the cost of a Z. No payment, cheaper insurance, better gas mileage.
I'm really on the fence here, and not really leaning towards one or the other. So, what do you guys think? My tax return is here, so with my first-time home buyer credit, I can go pay cash for a bike, or put 1/2 down on a 370Z. Thanks for the input!!!!!
