Looking at a used 08 Honda 600rr tomorrow. Post mentions the front tire needs to be balanced.

I don’t have a trailer and plan to ride it home (only a couple of miles). Should I drive it straight to a shop after? I'm mainly asking if it’s safe to ride it home or to a shop, not daily riding.

I bought my first bike ~2 months ago and ready to upgrade and have decided on the 600RR. I don't have a particular year in mind, locally there's a couple ranging from 08-16.

My main question is for the older bikes. From what I've gathered online and in this thread, these bikes can run until the sun burns out. However, is there a mileage cap you guys would recommend for purchasing used? There is an 08 for sale locally with 30k on the dash and a couple others in the 08-11 range with 20k+.

With that mileage, what should I be looking for that isn't the basics? What should be the price range for those years/miles?

Was riding on the highway then as I was getting off, I pretty much had no rear brakes. Got to a gas station and shut the bike off (funny enough, my kickstand switch got messed up again so the bike was shutting off when I would put it into first again).

Got the kickstand switch situated and limped it home. For whatever reason, I definitely had more rear brake pressure but still super spongey. Reading online, it seems like getting air out of the ABS model isn't easy (please correct me if I'm wrong).. I've read to zip tie the brake down overnight for the front, does that also work for the rear?

I know essentially nothing about bikes, nor can ride one, but definitely want to get into it. I signed up for the MSF course, it starts in a little less than a month.

That said, a white 400 ABS popped up for sale with 678 miles for $3500. Seller is taking $3300. I'm deciding to hop on it quick since most of the listings here are $4k++. Looking on the market, it seems like a steal?

How are 2020s in terms of reliability?

I just signed up to start tracking my net worth in one place and I've heard great things about Sofi. There's an office that I can see outside my window lol.

When linking my accounts, the only account I can't link is my Webull brokerage account, which is 50% of my NW. I saw a post saying you can manually add it, but the issue is the $ amount won't move.

Is there any way to add my actual stock holdings so it can track properly?

Top of the screw sheared straight off and hit my glasses, I thought it was a chunk of steel from the plates I was hitting.

SIG sent me an RMA, they said if they will try to get it out. If not, they will give me a "discount" on a new slide.

Should I take it to my gunsmith to get it out?
