Call stuart at rust restoration. Tell him what you are looking and the probs the guy is having. Ask him for a rough estimate to repair if carb work. Take that plus price of two new tire offer the guy 2grand. If its less than 3 ur in

(somebody tells me that the current owner was given the address to stu's and must have chosen not to follow through with it)

Mom picked up a Honda Shadow 1100cc been riding it around. It's fun just to  [moto] but it handles like a TANK. Still lots of fun and has some decent get up and go for a cruiser

I'm back. Got settled in down in College Station. Got about $3500 right now. been craigslisting but can't really make up my mind on whats worth my time. Not sure I want a 620 because from what I've picked up they seem to be underpowered.  Any of y'all craigslist guru's want to search again for me  Anything around College station but Houston or Austin would work too I suppose.

What do y'all think? did they even have ST4 in 2000?

The STs are nice, but really heavy compared to other ducs (which isn't saying much, they are still lighter than many other "ST" genre motorcycles).

looks nice.  I wouldn't worry about the weight just yet, buy what feels right. if you rode that 1100 this ST will feel light as hell

if you can talk this guy down and scrape up some extra dough this might fit too

or
http://houston.craigslist.org/mcy/1917395751.html for a different look.  most here don't like that one but I like it personally.

and finally this one http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/1939894431.html
leaves extra cash to buy more goodies for the ole girl. 

I live right around the corner from pasadena if you want someone to look at it. 

I started riding on a 750SS, so I like the newer SS bikes too

first 2500 on that SS?? I'd take it.

I'm in college station so all of these are a bit of a drive. I'll have to take some trips this weekend to go look I suppose.

The 600+ Monsters are fast enough to have a great
time IMHO. S4Rs can be a humbling experience but
an awesome bike as well  [moto]

I'm headed back up to ft. worth next weekend. Want to look at these two. What do y'all think?

no substantial differences between 99 and 00. both are carbd - unless you like tinkering a bit, go for a fuelie.

FYI, you may outgrow the 750 quickly.  Just my opinion from having owned one but if you're not a very aggressive rider then you should be just fine, they are nice bikes and handle very well.

hmmm guess I'm not clear on what to look for then. 900 ss? or is there a bigger monster than the 750?

The 750's are fine, try it out for size and see if you like them. You asked for opinions of course so prepare for them to be all over the board.  In the end................whatever puts a smile on your face shall be yours!
did you check into that ST in Houston?
