Default Thinking about getting back into an S2K

How's it going everyone? My name is Jeff. I have met a few of you a few years ago. I ended up going to graduate school out in AZ and moved back to Ohio in Oct. I sold my s2k out there and got a 05 Honda CBR1000RR for my DD. It was awesome on gas and always had great weather to ride in. I ended up getting my second Mazda RX8 since riding the bike was killing my back. I kept the bike and rode it on the weekends. Sold the bike before moving back to Ohio in Sept. (Use to work at Vivid Racing while in AZ)

I have been missing my s2k a lot lately. It was dumb of me for selling it but hey..you live and learn. I am thinking about getting back into an s2k here within the next few months and will be putting my car up for sale the 1st week in Feb. I will be in Akron all next week for my job. The main reason why I want to get back into the s2k is because of the good MPG that I got when I had mine and I absolutely loved the exhaust note and the convertible. I am looking at a 07 or newer and 1st color choice would be GWP, silver and blue.

Looking forward to getting back into one and seeing all the old faces again. Is the s2kcincinnati.com still active at all?

Thanks man. I will be looking pretty hardcore in Feb. I've already found a few that I really want. GPW is my top choice for sure!

Welcome back! At least we've not had any real winter so far. You could find a car and get some driving in before Spring. I'm afraid "mutha" nature is just saving up the cold and snow for Feb and Mar. We'll see...

Thanks for the welcomes!

I found a 07 GWP 50 miles away from my hotel room. So I might go and check that out if I have time. (if they still have it)

Hey Jeff, welcome back! Sucks you sold the last S2k so quickly, but now you have the opportunity to get the best color out there..GPW that is! Good luck with the search. (btw, s2kcincy has been real slow lately, but it is winter and that tends to happen, it'll come back to life soon tho)

There isn't much out there right now. Just got done looking. Laguna blue is my second choice. The color is growing on me.
