gonzalesna 0 #129 October 10, 2009 Quote Quote I used to have an '02 sporty custom... lot of mods made. Was plannin' on puttin' a rake kit and fat tire kit on it, but got in a wreck and totaled her out. Before and afters below... Now I ride one a them thar rice rockets. Got it for $900. Speakin' of which... anyone near Mt. Fuji want a bike for real cheap? I need a quick sell! Interesting head light.... I was gettin' ready to change that out too... Loved the look of it and paid plenty for it, but the light it put out wasn't near enough for me. If they ever came out with one that had a much brighter light output, I'd go for it, but as of right now, no.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrCat 0 #136 October 10, 2009 Quote Holy Fuck, that hornet looks like a hand full! It's a lot of fun to ride, it's geared down so it maxes out at 130 but the trade off is that it accelerates real quick and lifts the front end over most lumps in the road. My engine guy is trying to get me to NOS it. I am so tempted :) A couple more photos :)Jump more, post less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You obviously missed the history of bikes since 1962 til present. 250cc TT scrambler? The GS1150E? The GSXRs The Various GP bikes they put forth? BTW the Katana is the bike that made all manufactuers go back to the drawing board and come up with better bikes. The original Katana 1000 is a museum piece of technology. BTW if you would care to race your R1 against my old bike I think my old bones might be up for it. Of course my bike is heavier and so am I. However I am familiar with the position of the throttle stop.You ever get a WERA license? The MXers? hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simply a matter of taste, for which one is best! Yep it depends on the person and what they like. All the bikes have found their niche and all are good. It is the rider who can be the dumb ass for getting a bike that does not fit his needs.

No one is left out and we encourage cruisers to join. Even tho we have more sport than cruisers but the cruisers are joining in more. I also created a Riding Group (we are not an MC) for women with every style of bike and we even invite women who have scooters for crying out loud. So there is no discrimination in my world of bikes. :) Here is a pic of our group about a year ago.You create life, life does not create you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bike bashing is a moot point. Just because it's not for you doesn't make it a bad bike. I grew up riding dirt bikes and then "rice burner" street bikes. I liked them but the cafe' racers are not made for someone 6'4". Just not comfortable for me. Started hanging out with a bunch of Harley guys 20+ years ago and that's what I like now. I can appreciate all bikes and do. If I had something that went 150-200mph I would kill my self!! Going that fast skydiving NO PROB!
