Message	I agree that a bike is not a good PRIMARY mode of transport, I did it 4 years while in college. If I were in this position, I would take Milo up on his offer/advice and buy a fairly good running beater to drive to work/school. Yeah you might have to rock a semi rusted out 1987 Sentra that may cramp your style a bit and wont pull a $2 whore...but the thing will run and if it does happen to break it wont be expensive to fix it. During that time I would save every penny I had to get the Z Running good. Running good does not mean go out and get it painted first. Get the motor up to snuff, then work out the suspension issues piece by piece.....then get it painted and then get you your crotch rocket. But if you really dont like the Z like some of us nut cases around here, then just part it out and call it a day. BTW any warranty on the engine you just swapped in?
