Thanks! The bike sat in a collector's living room for 20+ years!

Hm ... not too sure yet. I'm looking at: Honda CBR 600 f2/f3, Yamaha FZR 250/400. Worried about getting older/grey bikes though. I see a few right now but none of them are replying to my emails. What's up with that?  | |

I would suggest against getting grey market bikes. When/if you need parts and/or service - you are screwed.

I asked the sellers about this and they said it's pretty easy to find non-cosmetic parts. That being said, are CBR600 f2/f3s grey bikes?

I think only the newer bikes are fuel-injected, no? My scooter was fuel-injected too. Are carbs really, really bad or are they tolerable?

most of the sport bikes didn't switch to EFI until early 2000's. carbs are a little less efficient, and a little more finicky. they don't adapt to major environment changes as well as EFI. (like altitude or humidity)

Ah, I see. I wonder why the newer Ninja 250s didn't change to EFI in the early 2000s. The CBR250 is EFI and in the lower insurance bracket. I'd pick that over the ninja 250 but there aren't that many available on craigslist.
Right now, my dream bike is the 2012 Suzuki SV650s white | |

OH! Smokin Joe! I was looking at one too but it got sold I'm also looking at a 1993 CBR 600 F2 but the engine was swapped. I wonder if the original one died or something. Should I stay away from that bike? It's so nice looking. I actually prefer older looking bikes ...
Sorry, I don't know how to answer the second half of your question. Fellow bikers may be more helpful than me

I'm not sure if it's a "group test" though. I'm guessing it's one examiner bringing one rider out at a time. If the examiner is observing three riders,
he/she might miss a mistake or something but I agree that group tests sound easier :P | You probably won't be able to book a road test that soon after at this time of year. Remember, there are still the other students from classes before you that are booking their road tests.

I just registered! 
For the night classes, are you supposed to bring your own food/snack or do they have breaks in between?

You're encouraged to bring your own snacks.
They'll send you a PDF with all the information. You'll probably receive it tomorrow morning | |

There isn't a lot of choice in the area without having to go far, given the lack of time you will have. I highly suggest you bring a snack or pack your dinner given that you are taking evening classes.
