Someone Talk me off the ledge!! Kawasaki Mean Streak!

I am doing it again, I am drooling over the Mean Streak, 1552cc 50deg V-twin ...I am having unclean thoughts of trading the Hawk in on that massive cruiser.. I can hear it calling to me in the night, ah hell it calls to me at all hours of the day as well

The Force is strong, I don't know how long I can hold out...HELP, HELP...This is a cry for HELP!!!!

Anybody have/had one? Know anyone with one etc?...

Go ride your bike and get the evil thoughts out of your head. Even better, buy some cool aftermarket part for the S'Hawk and that'll give you more reason NOT to get rid of her.

Do you respond better to insults or simple persuasion?

If you're even slightly tempted to replace the Super Hawk with a cruiser, even a power cruiser, then I doubt persuasion will work.

PS: don't do anything 'til after our trip to the Gap!

OK, cutting to the chase here...

You a moron or something?

Deal's Gap in a few weeks and you are considering a cruiser!?
Somebody slap that man and wake him from his nightmare!

See you there - on your SUPERHAWK!

OH Hell no, I ain't doing it before the Gap!! I mean, do I have stupid written on my forehead? Don't answer that....

this is more midsummer to end of summer thought....When they start cutting good deals on them, to move them out for the winter....As I would ride most of the winter here...

And the Gap thing has me perplexed, I need to trailer over there, but I traded the truck a few weeks ago, wouldn't matter much cause I don't have a trailer anyways...LOL...so now, I would be forced to rent a truck and throw her in the back bed, problem there is getting her in and out several times before turning the truck back in...Truck rental $300 for the week...you would think there would be a cheaper option...oh, there is, Riding the dang thing there, but then I would be shot....oh the drama...LOL...

You should find one at a good price and get it. Just don't get rid of the hawk. You will regret that. Having a less sporty ride only enhances the feeling when you get back on the SH for fun: the performance difference is so great you forget all about needing the latest GSXRRNinjaR1 models. And around town, or just out for a easy ride, cruisers are nice for that.

Well, the Mean Streak is almost twice the bike the SH is. At least weight wise.

I would squeel like a 6 year old girl at a mouse eating convention!! The whole way down....unless the ledge is like 2 feet off the ground, in which case there would be no noise at all....I had the 2 foot ledge in mind when I originally wrote this....LOL
