Don't even TRY to beat your chest and PRETEND you've got the balls to go over 140 on that bus



I don't think I even did THAT on mine

140mph isn't crazy fast. I have had my little GSXr up past that.

Worst was a harley softtail. And its not just a cruiser thing since I loved the two victories i have ridden. I really don't enjoy 600s anymore after riding the R1 for over a year. I'm spoiled by having power wherever i am through the revs.

Was fun in the tight stuff....but you're a cripple by the time you get to the fun stuff..........

Rode it about 90 miles ......back, butt and legs are trashed today............torture rack, and slow.....
I LOVE the position of my DRZ... compared to the RR... it's relaxed and the seat is better than the RR's for riding in straight lines for long periods of time.

I rode for 2.5 hrs on the DRZ today stopping only to fuel up. felt better than I would riding the RR for 2.5 hrs.

I was cold as hell... as it was 56 here today... but LOVED IT.

The DRZ is defiantly not a fast bike... but I like it's pace...


Only bike I've ridden I didn't like was Amorok's can't remember what it is.. but fuck I hated that thing.
