Default What's Your Favorite Motorcycle?

After seeing space's truck thread I thought I would start one for Motorcycles. I dont ride but I do like to look at them so post up some pics.


I thought this was cool when I read about it.


Classics are cool too



Boss Hoss





These are a few bikes or type of bikes I like. Now its your turn, if you have a bike or some pics of bikes you like post them up.

Here's my old ZX6R. Lots of fun, and it was super light. Possibly one of the quickest bikes you can get in the 600 class.



Hopefully I'll be upgrading to an 04+ R1 or ZX10R before winter. Picked up my ninja last fall and ended up making $1500 off of it from replacing a few things and selling in the summer when bikes are HOT! lol.. I think I just got lucky that the guy selling it didn't have a place to store it and snow was on they way, so he probably would have taken anything lol.

Love the ducatis though. If they were more in my price range I'd have no problem getting one.

Also a fan of the Victory Vegas 8-*****.. if one of these popped up for sale in my area I'd easily get one over another sport bike.




You can tell black and red are my favorite colors on anything with 2 or 4 wheels

Hmmmm… Very tough to nail down to just one. Of the bikes I’ve owned, the absolute hottest performer and most fun: Honda VFR750. Incredible strong / smooth V-4 engine; the bike handled like it was an extension of my body. Not the absolute fastest in that size (Some Ducati’s can probably beat it), but probably the best for the money. Sh_t eating grin on my face almost every time I rode it.

Certainly not my favorite, but check this out: Lit Motors. Basically a gyroscopically stabilized motorcycle. Even has airbags. Will be interesting to see if they make it to market.
