WHat do you ride?

Just sold my sv650, looking to get back into it soon.

I like a nekit bike... I have a Honda CB600F/599 (a Hornet in the rest of the world).

Currently have an '04 (last model year the bikes actually look good) Yamaha R6. But I'm actually about to try and put it on the selling block.

I had an 03 gsx-r600 with a full header-back, filter, sprocket swap, steering dampener, blue windscreen, flush sidemarkers, etc etc....


but i sold it over thanksgiving :'(


someone offered me 7k for it, and i couldnt refuse. I *really* want to find a gixxer liter... but my search is finding nothing unfortunately.

^ You should probably look here in South Florida. They're a dime-a-dozen down here ('Busa's too).

Neothin

bleh, busa's are only good for going straight. I want a liter so i can still turn

I really haven't been looking too hard... i'm looking for an 03-05 blue/white gsx-r1000 for under $9000. preferrably low miles and unmodded, but i'd settle for mild mods (i'd do em anyways!)

Street bike... no
Scooter... yes!

Seriously though, if I could have anything, it would be a SV650 or Speed Triple. I love those naked bikes myself.

Neothin

my first bike was an SV650s

awesome bike! until it got run over by a semi truck

Scooter's are great depending on the area you live in. There's really too many 45mph streets here where people travel 60mph for me to really want or feel safe with a scooter. I've had a blast on them.

My buddy's got a 'busa and it's not a bad bike. I'll agree it's more straight-line or highway than corner carver though. Down here, there's more long boring straights than anything. Even still, I'll take my little 600... Perfect for my weight and enough to get me into trouble...

Neothin

considering that stock 600's these days are capable of 10's... yeah... that'll get you into trouble ;)

top speed? *cough* 184 indicated *cough*

mill0048

Yeah, Motorcycle Consumer News (March '04) tested my bike:
Top Spead: 136.2
1/4: 11.57 @ 115.51mph
0-60: 3.71
0-100: 8.64
All with a 160lb rider.

I weigh 145lb and have the front wind screed (as shown above) and got the bike up to 145mph twice . I think that says a lot for the stock aerodynamics of the bike. I guess it's one of those things you have to do as an owner, hitting top speed.

I find it hard to beleive we only got five riders on this forum!

I've got a Harley Heritage Softail. Not a Sportbike.........But its a bike.

With gas prices nowadays, I would'nt mine driving this...

Neothin

dont those things get like 80 mpg or something crazy like that?

dskinner

My work blocked the pic by Guamsilverbox671 so not sure what it is, but I get between 80-90mpg on my 150.

Its a scooter, Yamaha Majesty. Front end looks like a sport bike. I don't own one, but I would mine buyin one. However the MSRP is like $5000.
