How much was that kit? I'd be interested in learning to powdercoat... say... are you gonna powdercoat your wheels? Oh! Man... about that bike thing... If you are going to get a streetbike... I'd go with a Suzuki GSXR. They are by FAR the best streetbikes you can buy. That is... if you want great agility, awesome power/weight... THEY'RE AWESOME!
