Its a tough decision, I'm in the same predicament. Its either fordge and convert to turbo or buy a r6/gsxr600, haven't decided just yet but I keep convicing myself of one then changing my mind to the other
Supercharger or street bike

Even though I have a sport bike and LOVE it, I would vote for the SC.
Bikes are so fun for what they are and how cheap they are, but very dangerous too. I want to sell mine just for that reason. If I wreck it, its not worth anything anymore. And if I get hurt I will always wish I had sold it while it was worth some money. I've been going back and forth on the idea all winter.
Hey, if you go the bike route, I have one for sale

I want to say bike. I've had bikes in the past and they were a blast. I've had a couple of collisions and both times I was cut off by someone in car.
The last couple of years riding I found myself getting more and more nervous on the thing, especially in traffic. There are just so many distracted drivers nowadays. So I found myself riding less and less. So I got rid of the bike and picked up the Shelby. No regrets.
Like others have said, bikes are awesome but you will want to go faster and faster.
Good luck...

I was all go for the supercharger, them the wife says she would rather I got the bike! I didn't even know that would be an option. I'm still going back and forth with myself.
I just did the same thing last spring. Bought a bike but I never enjoyed it as much as I did my car. I wished I spent the money on my cobra. So I sold the bike and I been buying part for my car...
Bike!
Invest that money and be well off and retire happy
Supercharger. Too many idiots on the road! I am fortunate to have survived my own idiocy when I used to ride, I had a death wish. I lost a few friends along the way and when my son was born, I knew it was game over...
I hope you guys are small of stature because both of those bikes are horrendously uncomfortable for people 6'0" + and more than 170lbs.
You make a valid point about the literage of the bikes though. Only noobs say things like "just get a liter bike right away". That is IDIOTIC. A 600 is still a dangerous machine and 06+ models can run 10s all day and handle like they're on rails.

I have very long arms so I sit almost upright while riding the 848, my ninja 650r was more comfortable.
Sold my 750 after a drunk and high teenager pulled out in front of my wife and I. With the hectic pace of today, and stupidity, I just don't trust people, along with bikes being harder to see. So I just enjoy cars now, also I have 2 kids so I wouldn't want to leave them. Be safe.
last year it was either do a frame up build on my banshee or fix my grenaded t56 in my lightning. The banshee won. Truck may sit for another year or 2 but i love bikes.
OP id only chose a bike if you already have a DD. If not, then id get a reliable DD instead. Keep your good vehicle for nice weekend days.
Down here it rains most of the summer and it too cold to ride a streetbike in the winter. That's a couple reasons why i dont want one. Also getting killed by dumb drivers is another.

99.9999% of riders can't outride the capabilities of a 600...unless you just want to go straight. Even still, with the proper rider mod, right clutch, stretch and launch, 600s can run 9s all day.
My previous post didn't answer your question...but do a BIKE. When you get the itch to go and carve some back roads fast, it's a lot cheaper to do so on a bike .
.get the bike!!!!! you wont regret it!!! i tracked my 07 gsxr 600 and never went back to street. most liter bikes on the street have the biggest chicken strips ever. lol
take it to the track NOT DRAGSTRIP and crave some corners, you will love it!!!:beer:
