voted a while back, but never posted.

I like the old CBs... I'd still love to have an old twin to cafe out...

my first bike was a GS500.


but for the modern crotch rocket (which is how I voted) yammie gets my click. ergonomically, it's the most comfy I've felt on any of the bikes.




that, and the RC51 feels like climbing on a cow... not how a v-twin sport bike should feel like cheeky

Teddy, I think I'm gonna find out if what you say is true.

There's a local shop with an RC51 and I think I might go test ride it.  I've wanted one for a long time.

That's the only reason I voted for Honda.







Pompetta, you did a really good job of photoshoping out your neighbor's dog.  And why do you keep your monkey on a chain?

that's my opinion is all.... the 999 is just so... compact... and lithe... in comparison.

999,, I like them. 1098,,, I like them more. But probably just because of the "MORE" Hp.
RC51 feels like a cow,,,,,,,hmmm. Ya maybe compared to a 999 or 1098 or even some of those nimble 600's

Man I'd keep your 1K, it's nice. I like the 05 750s and the 06 1000s. The new ones are ugly and lose midrange for top end power...

thank you
that why i'm leaning more towards the honda cbr 1000rr "08
my friend has the red and sliver one
and it's light, fast, and quality build
but i might just wait for the 09 models
I'm hoping Suzuki will redeem itself for the past model 
and the 06 suzuki 1000 are hard to find

If I was 23 years old I would own a Kawasaki ZX6R.. when I´m old I´ll own a Honda, until then everything else is game. I´ve had good experiences with Suzuki´s GSXR-750WX & L, Yamaha VMX1200C, Kawasaki ZZR250...

Anyone who thinks that *isn't* damn cool, or chock full of character, is not a motorcycle lover.
