I see your $1500 motorcycle deal- but I think you got an outlier - I dont search for 600 supersports much but $1500 sounds pretty low for anything fuel injected 600 in decent shape.

It almost makes me want to buy a vw rail buggy and throw a stack of Benjamins at the motor...except those have the worst weight distribution possible....

old Fiero with engine swap ?

Toyoda MR. 2 ?

I see more and more Can-Am Spyders on the road - those 3 wheel things that sit up like a mcycle - I'm not sure how they handle, but the performance numbers dont seem to be horrible- My neighbor growing up was a motor cop in Cincinnati and rode is 350cc 3-wheeler 365 days a year- He said that the full windshield made a big difference.

Ural Patrol ? - there is a capable snow machine...You'd have to help the motor though (which isnt tough if you know what an "airhead" is)

I am with you - It'd be nice to have something smaller and lighter to enjoy driving in.
