I want a motorcycle

[Vigilante]

Hi, I recently got my moto license ( :thumbs: ) And in the spring I plan on getting one...I dont want a crotch rocket, but I also dont want a harley cruiser. What do you all think of this?

[gh0st]

nice, especially in black. kind of a crotchrocket look though, dont you think?

 

[Vigilante]

Yeah, its a cross between a harley and a crotch rocket. Since buell uses Harley V Twin engines, its got a nicer sound than those tiny 4 cylinders that the japanese bikes have. Plus I think they look cooler.

 

[Letters]

Looks like a nice medium one.

I'm not a big buell fan
I prefer hondas
They're nice
Thats what i drive
If i ever come across money
Ill prolly get something like a
Shadow Spirit 750
Like this
Solid black though
The paint job in the picture
Is just horrifying

Only six grand
I love motorcycles.
I could never goto driving cars

I'm not a big japanese bike fan. I think that buells look so much better (the higher end models at least). Get a harley or victory if you want a streer cruiser

 

[Ikerous]

Harley has some nice street cruisers
Some of the smaller ones are nice
I dont like bulky ones
They just dont look very good
But the nicer looking ones
Just look like hondas

I like hondas, Long and short
with low handle bars
Just sweet.

Buells looks too much like an off road bike
(Are they offroad bikes?)
I never go offroad, sounds fun though

Ooo, i found a black shadow

My friends brother just went 5.20 in the 1/8 mile around here with his GSXR 1000 with nitrous....I suggest you get a suzuki,honda, or kawasaki(spell that right?)

 

[Neutrino]

Looks just like a crotch rocket to me. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. It looks quite nice.

 

[Kangy]

You know you want a Triumph.

Everyone loves British bikes!

 

[Parrot of doom]

Or a Norton for that matter

TJ: Bought my Audi TT on Wednesday, can't get it until Mon/Tue

 

[Neutrino]

If you don't want a crotchrocket why not get something like this?

The 1795cc V-Twin VTX

i have a 68 norton commando

 

[mattgirv]

Check out the Suzuki Bandit. Very nice bike, fast but I wouldn't really consider it a crotch rocket

 

[Newbie's Journey]

Hmm..forgot about those. There is a triumph dealer near me. I'll take a look. I only buy japanese dirt bikes, I don't want a japanese street bike. I like the buells because theyre much more balalnced than any other bike I've sat on, with the oil tank being the rear swing arm, and the gas tank is the frame.

Here ya go :thumbs. A motorcycle with a 502 Chevy V8.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Those bikes are so fast stock, can reach other 200mph stock.

They are really fast...

...but dang are they ugly.

 

[CptStern]

hmmmm a really expensive suicide machine ...cool!

Man I can picture you saying something like that =)

 

[CptStern]

Man I can picture you saying something like that =)

a friend of mine died in a bike accident, so ya I have my reasons

I've always wanted a bike but with all the stupid drivers out there, there's no way I'd risk my life just cuz someone's too busy on their cellphone to notice I'm right beside them on a bike ..till it's too late of course

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

...but dang are they ugly.

Much better looking than the other GSXR's I must say though, I am in love with them. I will be getting a GSXR-600 sooner or later, then upgrading to a GSXR 1000 or Busa. If I don't get a Busa, I could always put nitrous on the 1000

 

[Dynasty]

bike of my dreams:

and then the:

http://www.horsepowerheaven.com/features_all/2002features/swusajune2002/hyabusa.jpg

is the best road bike in the world. mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

If I got a Busa, I'd def turbo it after a few months. Those things are monsters turbo. Can race with a 1400hp Skyline.

The Ducati Monster has to be the ideal balance between cruiser and sportsbike:

 

[Dynasty]

the busa hits max speed on the speedometer before you change into 5th gear. saw a video of a busa down a straight, open road, with a guy riding along side. you saw what the driver saw, and that includes all the dials....u watch the speedometer....its unreal.

he wheelies for about 3-5 seconds, and hes at around 70 before then.

The Yamaha YZF-R6 looks nice if you like a "crotch rocket" (is that what you americans call these bikes?) :

I have a motorcycle also. It's only 125cc (and 11kw and 15HP, not full power) because that's what you get to drive when 16+ here in Finland.
It's a Yamaha DT 125 RE:
