If you had to describe yourself as a Japan-bike person, which would you choose?

[Duck-Stew]

If the Japanese had NO other competition in the world.....what would you choose?  Or, which manufacturer makes a product you most closely 'relate' to?!?

Oh, and I'm just curious....  There's no hidden marketing BS here.

I say Honda, just always had good luck with them.

After my recent experience with my 2008 Kawasucki KLR650 I would never recommend that manufacturer to anyone.

I've done well with Suzukis over the years.  TS185, GS650, GSF600, GSXR600, GS1150 ~

I wanted to vote but I really don't identify with any brand... I'm pretty brand neutral.

I buy whatever has a good review and is being sold for cheap

Although I almost bought a 636 so maybe I should go with that option.. although I like the look of the Honda CBR

I love this bike.  IMO its the best all-around bike there is.


Last year in touring mode:

I'm a big Honda fan. But please bring back the sporty V4's!  The current VFR doesn't appeal 1/2 as much as the old ones did.

I'm a suzuki dude.  I started with a T500 (a real piece of crap but I loved it).  Later a GS450, SV650, and DR 650.  They make
some butt ugly sport bikes; but then I'm not buying the whole line. 

[Triple J]

I guess Yamaha.  The FZ-1 seems like a pretty fun, while still practical, moto.

Plus, then I could cheer for Rossi. 

[jagstang]

I have family who work for Yamaha, and I've enjoyed the R6 and R1 for some time now.  And of course, they have Rossi, Edwards, Jorge, Dimples, the Bostroms, Nori, etc.

[Rob Hilding]

I'd say Kawasaki -

I've had more of them than to other brands - never really had a Honda

Oh I think there IS a hidden agenda here. You are trying to get us talk about motorcycles in the NO MOTO CONTENT section. That way you can ban us  all and have more room for ad space. Well I see through your cunning plan. I will not participate in this talking-about-motorcycles nonsense! Now if you will excuse me I have a picture of a kitten in a silly pose I must create a caption for.

Motorcycles indeed! GOOD DAY, SIR!

Do tell.  I thought the KLR's were 'bulletproof'.


I really can't say what Japenese bike I like, but probably honda.

This is the one bike I wish I had never sold.  Excellent bike!

Dude....  86 the prozac, K?  I just put it here because it's not really moto-related but rather about the brand you identify with.....oh whatever just put your tin-foil hat back on then!
