What's been your favorite bike? - Page 2

I've only owned two, a 1992 GSXR 750 and my 2005 Buell XB12R. I've ridden many, GSXR 600's, 750's, TL1000, OTB's Bimota, etc...

By far my favorite is my XB. I love that bike...it's so much fun...and it looks awesome.

I've only had two bikes....the Ninja and the Hornet. There are things I love about both of them, but the Hornet was definitely a far superior bike and more to my taste.

The Ninja is a fantastic little bike, but I prefer a naked 4(or triple

) over that buzzy little thing.

Tie. I like my 1979 GS1000. It was my first four-stroke, my first superbike, and the first bike I bought new. I still enjoy riding it, so I must like it.

I also like my 1990 CBR1000. My first water-cooled bike, my first fully-faired bike, my first "Oh my God, this thing is fast" bike, and my second superbike. I must like it, since I decided to repair the cylinder head myself. Even though the bulk of the bike is in the garage, I never believed that so many other parts could take up one workbench, one stack of shelves, and part of a floor.

I love my 04 Honda CBR 1000, I'd argue with anyone that year run of 04-07 were the best looking bikes LOL.... I do agree with whoever said, typically the newer the bike the better overall package it presents. I don't like where a lot of the newer bikes are headed looks wise and that they are losing what little practical features they had.

In second place is my wife's Ninja 500, it's blue and I just love the look of hers not to mention I can lay it sidewayz on any curve known to man

Those were def. good looking machines.

By far, I love my Aprilia Tuono. Superbike handling & power, big dirtbike ergos. It's kinda like an overgrown hypermotard, but more power & less Ducati

I see myself keeping this bike for a LONG time to come... and if I can find a job where I actually make some damned money, I've got some pretty serious plans for her...

54mm throttle bodies, full 2-2 akra system, 1060cc kit, marchesini's or OZ's, ohlins front & rear, carbon everywhere, etc etc etc.
