What do you ride?

I currently have a 2001 rc51, looking to get a new 05 cbr1000rr. Their as big a part of my life as weightlifting. I also do amateur club racing.

So, lets hear it, what do you guys ride??

i have a 2003 fatboy... i dont ride tho, no DL, id like to get into it more, but isnt safe to be on a scooter where i live

Thats why i mostly keep it on the track man. Its not safe anywhere.

I teach Motorcycle Safety courses, I have too many horror stories to list. I push the track on my students alot.

the new liter bikes are sweet , the Kawasaki ZX-10R being the fastest and lightest

i rode a 10r, 4th gear wheelies are amazing...

I wouldnt wanna race one tho, the throttle is too choppy, even after being on a dyno...

And the new litre bikes will kill a beginner as fast as a bullet. These things arent the toys everyone pretends they are...

i had a kawasaki 2003 zx6r my first bike ever loved it got stollen, i heard next year all the manufacturers r commin out with brand new bikes built from ground up so mayb i'll buy one depending on the money situations. As far as riding i loved it man. I was a bet stupid though n i consider myself lucky to b alive but bikes r the sh!t

2001 CBR 929. I'd love to get a new 1000R, but my bike has a lot of custom work to it and looks sweet, all black and red. I really don't want to start all over. Its wicked fast. I know a new one will be faster, but I don't race, I don't need an extra 0.20 seconds in the quarter. This one is plenty fast for the roads around my house. Don't like to speed much anymore anyway. Too dangerous. Too many cops. I don't need any more tickets.

You got that right. I know a few people who have totalled brand new bikes trying to show off. You have to respect them. Young kids and inexperienced people don't understand that.

I picked up a Suzuki 94 RF900R for $1500! First and only bike so far...I'm thinking about getting an older Hayabusa...

**apocalypseRC51** · 12-21-2004, 01:39 PM

DO NOT go from an rf900 to a busa, your asking for trouble....

Take a look at my baby in the upper corner. Its worth more than my car. I have invested tons of money into it and I do race it whenever I get a chance. The only prob. is finding leathers to fit. I keep getting bigger.

P.s. I totaled it in 2002 and rebuilt it better and faster than ever.
