Hmmmmmm.....So theyre about the same as a Harley, huh? LOL No offense, but I never have quite understood the whole "Harley thing".

I have had a couple bikes. First one being a Kawi GPz550, then a pristine Nighthawk 650 that was massaged a bit from the previous owner. I always wore a helmet, or 95% of the time, and really tried to ride responsibly...but it was just too hard to resist wringing it out. I always wanted a Ninja 750 or ZX11, and luckily never got one. The Nighthawk could have done me in quite easily. Great rider? No, but I would consider myself a competent rider, and my riding skills never matched my stupidity factor. I soon after found out I was going to be a father, and the bike went. Blessing in disguise. I still love the looks of them, but I am content without one.

At any rate, nice lookin bike! Just ride it like your invisible, and hope thats enough.

Mine is not nearly as fast as every one else on here. 02 Yamaha V Star 1100 with some mods. Looking for a nitrous kit for it too. on a 35shot would be looking for 100-110rwhp once I get cams. Doesn't sound to crazy compared to you guys but it pulls pretty nice for a muscle cruiser.

I had a 2004 FZ6 which was my first bike and I loved it. Unfortunately it got smashed by a drunk driver so I replaced it with a 2008 R6.

Yammies FTW!!

Mine will be faster when I get it.

GSX Hayabusa 1300R
I'm taking off the Govenern and maybe putting a turbo on it or twin.

I do want the Ducati 1098R, but I want a two seater and I'm really tall.

Yea, but as a first bike. Just because it's fast doesn't mean you can just jump on it and lay it down. I've ridden a single-turbo R1 and almost killed myself, because I was dumb enough to get on the worst interstate EVER and gas it and hit a little pothole and it slipped out from underneath me just enough for me to **** my pants.

You can do whatever in a car all day long and still know that there's five inches of steel surrounding you, but jump on a bike and it's totally different. I don't want to see you splattered on a road man....I've lost many of friends to street bikes.
