    Congrats on the career change!
    My crazy GSX-R 750 story: At the end of the riding season in 2016 I bought a brand new GSX-R 750, black on deep charcoal gray, and I was absolutely in love with it. I rode the crap out of it until November, and then put it away for the winter. I also dropped my comprehensive insurance for the winter because I wouldn’t be riding. The VERY FIRST DAY I took it out of storage in 2017, and before I reactivated my insurance, some loser stole it. So I was left heartbroken with no bike and a monthly loan payment. I bought a RSV4 as a replacement, but never got over losing my 750. 2 years later in 2019 I get a random letter from the NYPD stating that they recovered my bike, and I had 14 days to pick it up, otherwise it was going to auction. I figured the bike was in awful shape, but I still made arrangements to pick it up. I go to this warehouse in Brooklyn, and there are literally 1,000s of bikes there. After talking with the clerk, I found out the bike was found literally a week after it was stolen, but because it was part of an open investigation, they couldn’t tell me. The only damage (luckily) was a hot-wired ignition, cracked rear fender/blinker and they brutally ripped my yoshimura fender eliminator off the bike! And so I got my bike back. I ended up trading up for the 2018 GSX-R 1000R because I felt like the bike had bad juju on it from the loser who stole it lol, but I still got it back! I have no idea why I’m sharing this, but hey, if you read all this, ride safe, have an awesome day and KEEP YOUR BIKE INSURED!

      Thats awesome you got your bike back, but that's bs that they didn't contact you and give your bike back as soon as it was recovered. How can they keep your bike because they're investigating? What would they need the bike for?

    My brother unfortunately crashed his cbr600 yesterday and is currently in the hospital. I mounted brand new tires and ordered a new fairings kit the night before and the bike was totaled from a hit & run. He has had the bike for less than 2 months and is devastated. Poor guy. The tow truck driver said “wow those tires look brand new”. Of course they did they had only 20 miles on them. He had a plate and screws put in his wrist as it was shattered and dislocated and now has no vertical “hinge” movement (just one of his injuries) and will not be able to ride for at least a year if ever. All this because of someone else’s carelessness. Of course I want revenge but there’s nothing I can do

    Good job on picking that Suzuki, because that doesn’t look like it’ll be too much work. I’m also assuming the previous owner hasn’t butchered the wiring harness for the LEDs. As for fairings. I’ve always liked the OEM blue/white scheme, but you commonly seem to have a trick up your sleeve when it comes fairings. Good luck, dude!

    Rob, so STOKED you picked up that Gixxer!👍🏻 I’ve owned many different generations of Gixxers and the K11 (11-20) Gixxer is my favorite. Many of my past rockets were “R” titled . Honestly they just aren’t worth the wrench time. Parts etc. UNLESS one were to keep an “R” title to keep/ride. You lose your ass on them when selling. A got a legit 2014 Gixxer 750 and said to hell with the “R” title dealio. Just my 2 cents. Hopefully you do better flipping it than I did. Peace
