I really like this one. I like the paint job out of all it. Sweet rims and a nice pipe. Real nice style.I still like an R1 better than anything else. I think it's because of the high RPM and the head that i like about them.
Always liked Ducati (other than the unreasonably steep prices for spare parts), but the round, vertically placed headlights on their sportbikes ruin everything for me. Always found it a downright ugly design choice 
That Honda, though... The most stylish Honda I've seen for a loong time. Visually, everything seems balanced, and for once, even the tank is the right size 
Of the Japanese, I'll always be a Yamaha and Suzuki devotee, though. 
Although I don't like what Yamaha have done to the R1 in the visual department the past few years. Although with the 2006 model, things are looking up again... nicest bike ever BUELL Firebolt http://buell.com/en_ca/bikes_gear/firebolt/xb12r/index.asp
[img]http://buell.com/en_ca/bikes_gear/wallpaper.asp?BikeURL=../images/bikes_gear/xb12r/studio4_small.jpg[/img] I personally like the look of the Honda CBR RR's, but maybe I'm bias because I own a 1999 Honda CBR F4 600cc =P I also like the '06 gixxer's, although I'm finding the triangular short pipes visually awkward. Anyone else think so?
I personally own and stunt a 2005 Honda CBR 600 RR. I also own an older Ducati which I am selling.
I love Honda bikes because of their endurance. I have not had one problem with my CBR, save a few burnt out tires and the occasional jolt of pure terror when I take a curve at 115 mph and my knee drags on the ground. But the CBR's superior handling always keeps me going on the right roads ...
Maybe if I get my stupid camera working I will post a couple of pics here of my beauty ... but for now here is an online pic of a CBR 600 RR.
i love to ride i get my motorcycle permit this summer i'll be riding everywhere.... either getting a CBR 600 .. a GSX 600.. or the ducati 520 DARK. thats a pretty nice yet tuned down bike......
does anyone know how the suzuki sv 650 performs.. im looking at one for a girl i know.

Sounds like fun. Good luck and be carful. When you get it I want to see a picture. | Motoracer380 wrote: |

Never had one. It came out about 3-4 years after I got my license so never really noticed it. After trying one, I kinda wish it had been out some years earlier 
Tried the faired sv650s a couple of years ago, and since the memory still sticks, I'd say it did well
It's fun, it's easy, it's light, it's surprisingly powerful... Its reputation as a "beginner's bike" isn't really deserved - at least I know of certain beginners who should stay far away. But I can still see why it got that reputation - it's very forgiving and not too aggressive, while still giving you enough to play around with to not get boring for at least a couple of years - I went through 6 bikes in my first four years 
, including an unbelievably boring (to me) 125cc whose brand and model I've suppressed (*), a not much less boring Suzuki GS500, a few others (including a 600cc Kawasaki Ninja)... ending up with a Yamaha R6 which I still have, and which is now sharing garage space with a Ducati S4R.
Anyway, with the SV650, it'd probably have been 3 bikes in 4 years rather than 6. Seems it could scale well. I'd recommend it Also for those experiences bikers who spend most of their riding time in the city and aren't too aggressive.
(*) A lot of the bike switching stems from the fact that Danish law says that at 18 (yes, that's eighteen - an age limit on driving that I'd like to see introduced in other countries), you can only get a license for "small bikes" (less than 34hp). You have to be 21 or have ridden with a small license for two years before you automatically get the large one. | Motoracer380 wrote: |

I just bought an SV650 and here is a pic. My thoughts on it are that it's definitely not a beginner bike. It is extremely torquey because of the v-twin engine and it pulls through all 11,000 RPM's. I only paid 3,200 for mine. It's a 2004 with 3,000 miles on it, so for the money and the class that they fall in, they can't be beat. I see plenty of them at the track as well. If the girl has experience, it's a no brainer, if not, it's too much bike. Hope that helps some.
Here is my other bike. It's a Honda Nighthawk. It's only a 250 but it's still one of the funnest bikes I've ridden and it will do 75 on the interstate all day long. It's for sale too by the way.
My bike is the YAMAHA TDM 850. I got it right after my military training, where I also got the permit to ride a bike like that. In the army we had the BMW 650 GS, which is a bike that I liked to ride, but would never buy.
My TDM was always just the kind of bike I liked, and I was searching for a used one, that didn't cost a fortune. I got a ten year old one, that really looked like a new one. And it has been running great ever since. I used to ride it through the mountains of central europe, and if you know that area you know what kind of bike suits perfectly to do that: A comfortable sports bike.
Don't get me wrong, I totally agree that all the bikes above are great looking, but I'd never buy such a supersport bike. Because I know I'd kill myself with it in less than 2 years. And because I believe you get depressed when trying to ride a bike like that in legal limits.
I rode a friends new YAMAHA R6, which was absolutely great from a very technical point of view. The difference to my 10 year old TDM was a big one, especially the behaviour when braking using front brakes. The R6 has some sophosticated system built in that doesn't make your bike go down on the front, while my old bike does a boogie-woogie instead.
But once in a while I think about getting just a new TDM 900, to get the security and new technology that lacks with my old TDM. But on the other hand, being abroad and traveling doesn't allow me to ride my bike very often, so it seems to be cleverer to stick with the old one. And I can rent the newest bike for a weekend if I really want to.

Hee... I wonder why I'd love to try the MTT Y2K bike sometime, although the design doesn't really strike me as beauty or even close to interesting. And I've yet to determine if the pure speed aspect of it is hype. I've heard people who've tried it claim its handling is inferior a good while before it reaches the top speed of the Hayabusa. But none of those people I'd really trust, since I know none of them. So, have to try this one myself immediately if I ever get the chance Would never buy it, though, even if I had the money. Not my design style, and not even approaching practical for my actual use. the y2k: wicked fast but a damn sight ugly.
as for the CBR's u cannot beat the 2006 1000rr fireblade. heres some pix
Beat That!!!! I love my CBR600RR! It's amazing how quick and light it is. Very well balanced!
[/img] I love sports bikes. Have had my licence for a while.... but have not purchased a bike as yet. A friend of mine just upgraded to the new Zx6R.. very nice! and my bro has a Z750.. naked bike. Also quite nice...
I still love my suzuki TL1000R.
Had to sell it because of Mrs...
But planning to buy a Honda VTR SP2
Hayabusa and ducati bikes are my favourites.

I love motor cycles.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEDf5JDAscIi like ducati 999 its really a cool bike. there r many and many bikes which r cool but the thng is we should have the license to drive it I love the new release by Cowasaki 
I'm not a real bike-freak , but i love to watch them
Like this one: Yamaha R1 Turbo!
Video:
http://video.google.nl/videoplay?docid=-3563784723686953251&q=yamaha+r1+turbo Long term love affair. Bikeless now but not 4ever.
This thread allmost made me drool
Just the thought of having allmost 1/1 weight/power ratio is mindblowing (and also makes it strange they are actually street legal).
My favourite is Hayabusa, not the best when it comes to cornering, but when it comes to acceleration and top speed, oh yeah! Dude I love BMX. I do not dedicate a lot of time to it since I am working 8-5 and am raising a nephew (long story). But when I am riding I am loving every minute of it. In fact, I believe my g/f is getting me a new bike. The one I want is a FIT Pro AM. Prebuilt bike. After that one I plan to build my own. As for street bikes I really want one, but am not sure of what is good for a starter. The biggest bike I have ridden is an 80cc Honda dirt bike...

Iguess I am more of a Harley guy, the Buell now owned by H-D has some seriously nice bikes.And easy to handle.What about a Harley Softail DLX.Now theres a cruising machine.
