need opinions/need a new toy... keep my 2006 R6 .. or buy a mint 87 Grand National

ok so i have been thinking about selling my R6 for a 87 Buick Grand National... im just looking for opinions on what you guys would do...

i love riding my bike, but i will never mod it, its something i would keep stock as i have no disier to mod a bike.. and i do use it a fair bit (3500kms in a year) only using it on week ends putting that many kms is a fair bit.. but like all my buddys say im more of a car guy...

now the Grand National... because my dad has a GNX he has parts every where in our basement that he said are free for me to use if i sell the bike and get a Grand National as for one my parents hate me having the bike, and two he didnt feel like selling all the extra parts...

now for the speed part of it... the amount of parts in the basement i would be putting on the GN would make it pretty close to the same speed as my bike in the 1/4mile (aprox. 450-500whp), but then it doesnt have the fun bike part to it... but also if any one knows GN's or has been in them.. they are down right BAD ASS!!!!...


ahh i dont know what to do ahaha help me out guys...

Well if you have no intention to ever take the bike out to a track and get the most out of it, sell it. Some people just don't fully enjoy bikes like they would cars.

Grand National... The bike won't appreciate in value.

Treat it nicely.

Yep, a GN is on my list of cars I'd love to own. A real piece of history IMO.

Too bad you weren't closer though, as I'm looking into purchasing an R6 raven myself here soon, love them.

Could be called a "Jimmy Typhoon", but I don't know if the Sy/Tys were available in Canuckistan or not.
