What brand(s) do you own?
 

We all have opinions about what the best brands/models are, but what do you actually RIDE?

06 Kawasaki Z750s.....for now.

07 GSXR 750 - ride

06 ZX10-R - For sale

I guess it is Kawi's for the win so far.

Suzuki for now. New bike should hopefully becoming sometime this season.

honda by default, would prefer kawi

Fuck that. I'll take the RC off your hands.

How about a 3 bike swap, Marko get the RC, Drewpy gets the Z and I get Marko's..... um never mind. :lol:

Oh I have no doubts I'd like it.

i might change my mind when i get the mods done this year thati have planned

Why dont you like it?

raw torque is great, but HP is lacking compared to the other liters, for the gas milage i get it should be alot more peppy, the stock rc is very bogged down by emissions and epa placed valves and soft rev limiters, just cant get good performance, so you must do a bunch of free mods just to get what shoulda been stock performance and ridability in the first place

and its very heavy

and no, i am no where near the bikes potential, its all just arm chair racing :lol:

one thing ill never get tired of is that v twin sound

Interesting. I've never rode one....I've rode a TLR...and they are pretty damn heavy too.

one thing i will say, its build like a rock, honda reliability, im hoping for +100k miles

edit: i hate you trip.... one hundred thousand plus miles

The RC is on my short list.

Triumph FTW!!

once you get past the gas milage, its a fucking great ride, more then 99% of the riders can handle, fun factor is a 10, i have always had a thing for fpx's 10, prolly one of the only bikes i would consider trading it in for

I've always loved the RC-51. It's an awseome sounding bike. I almost came close to buying one instead of my R1. I've heard of people getting 50,000 miles or more easily on the RC. It's supposed to be a very reliable bike.

i need that with 12-20k miles a year that i put on it

Drewps...what kind of HP does the RC put down and what about torque?

124ish hp with slipon but like ~70 fp torque

Thats not bad...but I expected both numbers to be higher.



Maybe the RC isn't on my list anymore. :lol:


I saw a dyno sheet for a Buell 1125R....141hp and 80 ft lbs of torque. Thats what the fuck I'm talking about.

it is an 8 year old platform, baddass as it was, its could use an update (yes i know they stopped making them, but who wouldnt want to see a rc61!)

Damn right I would. I wish the Japs would keep these around. The TL's. The RC's. A V4 jap bike would kill.


Speaking of V4's....anyone seen the new V4 Aprilia? :drool:

We've had a V4 Jap bike for awhile. The Honda VFR. Granted it's not the most powerfull, but it is a V4 none the less. Hopefully Honda updates it for 09. The VFR is actually a blast to ride.

Yeah...they should put that engine in a true sportbike package. That would be awesome.

Rumor on the street says Honda will come out with a VFR1000 that leans more toward SS than ST.

heard that too, looks tits

That would be awesome. Too bad most American's are idiots when it comes to bikes. That why the really cool bikes end up not being made anymore. Everyone wants the fastest I4 they can find.

it kept the sss and undertail exhauston on a bike that was a cross between the 05/06 zx10 and 07 1000rr

Keep in mind this is a PS'd pic but still cool nonetheless.

If it looked like that....damn. That bikes looks great.

Big Dog
Harley Davison

I know I know... don't tell me...

Or Davidson.

Nobody ever said HD owners were smart.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn.

:lol::lol I think I'm gonna laugh every time that happens


Kawi... I love my bike... it's more than enough for me... :dthumb:

i thought about changing it, but its funny to get rick rolled, esp when u forget about it, my favorite is when nee goes to :hug : someone

yeah :lol: that's funny shit too!

edit: wow... you allow shit... lol... how about ... better ask first... :lol: don't wanna be the first to get infraction points!!! :lol:

Yeah sorry... been a bit busy.. spelling is second to hectic life...

Just busting your chops buddy.

Oh yeah and do know what HD really stands for?

Hundred Dollar. Every time you go to the store to buy a simple bolt it costs you a hundred dollars.

I know man... I know! :cheers:

both me and amf ride honda

Right now, Suzuki for me and Kawi for the gf...
Mine should change this season

That's at the crank.
Read somewhere dyno at the rear wheel
128 hp
73ish ft/lbs torque

I still want one :drool:

I wish I could vote in this poll...

Buell Blast for now. Hoping to upgrade to a late 90s early 2000s 600 or 750 this spring though.

Yamaha...only because it is what I found when I was looking. No brand loyalty...yet anyway. :lol:

Cannot vote though...:idk:

post some more!

I voted...

Yay! I can vote!

woo hoo :rockwoot:

i didn't see harley davidson listed. it definately doesn't belong in the 'other' category. :lol:

Neither does my Phoenix

I wanna vote for my Kawasaki!

I voted Kawasaki and Buell... I ride a Buell... and rode a Kawi... I guess I rode a couple Hondas and a Yamaha when I was a kid, but that was so long ago... I am not particularly brand loyal.

Suzuki Katana for now, but buying a Busa this year

who do you think you are? ambly? lol
































good luck :dthumb:

I have 2 Hondas

First Ducati on the board... :rockwoot:

So far it's looking like the Kawi's are the "me too" bike of TWFix. :idk:

So....where to start...sooooo many bikes, so little space..................

Should I mark "Other" or just check all of 'em...............

Check them all. But you will have to post each model

:moon: We know. You suck.















j/k :coffee:

Are you sure? I don't know for sure if that dyno run was crank or wheel....but I have read mid 130's to the wheel and every bit of the 80 ft lbs.

When are you getting one?

IDK, i can't find the post now... it was on badweatherbikers.com :idk:

When... if all goes well in the coming month or so.

Yamaha X 2...R1...R6 currently but...

I've owned 2 Hondas

3 Kawasaki's

another Yamaha

and a BigDog Bulldog.

I've never owned a Suzuki but I would buy one.

Awesome.

so when you gettin yours??

Hopefully this season some time.

sweet... gonna trade the gix?? think you'll get much for it?

I think I can get a good price for the shape it's in.

I know dealers around here wouldn't even look at it, cause of it's age...
be far better to sell it private party.

I wouldn't even consider trading it in. Dealers rape you no matter what you have.

I'm gonna see what they'll give me for the 250 at the Buell dealership...
They are kinda jap bike dumb... so we'll see...

Good luck buddy.

Jap bike dumb and plain retarded are two different things... Sell it on Craigslist...

Craiglist is like non existant in ND...

there are other mediums, but it seems no one wants a 250 in ND... too many posers.

thanks.

yeah another reason ND sucks...

good luck with trade'n it in... what are ya guessing you'll get for it?

first had a 2006gsxr 600

now have a 2006 cbr1000rr

:drool:

I've ben on the green team all my riding life!! But since they no longer make 750s I've switched to zuk! And the so likes zuk so its a win win!

so you can finally get that Busa you've been :drool:'n over!

I don't think VAB will ever get a busa.

Kawi for now, Buell when I can... Still keepin' the 650R though.

Buell for now. Would like either honda or suzuki next.

A few Hondas but now Suzuki's .

Vab's a closest busa lover :lol:

R6. Damn. Only 3 other Yamaha riders. Looks like the others haven't seen the light yet.

CEO's douchenozzle ass should be here at some point...

What's his hold up? Too busy posting on TWF?

What do I ride?
<----------:rockout:

from what I was told he's been really busy and hasn't had a chance... :idk:

Have owned Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha. No particular brand is my fave, although my fave bike was the R6.

I own a Suzuki but I really want a Honda.

What? Why? Thats crazyness!! I'll be stuck on Zuk now since they're the only one making the 3/4!! Unless I get a 636! Cause I'd love to be back on the green team!!

Because I like the way hondas feel better... I really like my 750 but I think its to wide around the tank (it feels like I am riding a horse) and I think it lacks in power. I like the way hondas ride they are narrower, better reliability, and I want a liter bike so eventually a CBR 1000 will be in my garage. Plus this year it is rumored that the CBR is going to king shit of the open class.

I'll give you $2k and a slap in the balls for your bike shipped to Orlando.
