the one in the photo costs a shitload more than you're going to want to pay.

look in the parts section or on ebay.  plenty of rotors floating around

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I feel it too -- I saved up lawn mowing money and bought a Ducati Bronco when I was 16.  My parents told me they'd hang me from a rope if I got a bike to save me the trouble of being killed on one.

Anyhow, you can find plenty of factory rotors for cheap.  The OP's rotor is a carbon fibre type which is super-duper $ and super-duper bling.

I just want something that works! I want to spend money on exaust and paint, not little things that the bike just needs. One day I will have a lot of money in that bike :)

I wish! I still get caught in the rain occassionally.

It's actually a BrakeTech AXIS Ductile Iron rotor. Still kinda pricey, but I've been saving my pennies for a while.
