Do you all ride motorcycles? Which model(s)?

I have a 2001 Kawasaki ZX-12R. Hopefully I'll have a good riding season this year(as in no crashes, broken bones, etc. )

1997 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 A here.

Might want to check out this thread too. :asian:

You've got a fast one there. I've got a 2001 SV650s, the snow and sand are starting to recede around here so I'm riding more. Definitely check out the other thread OUmoose noted.

I recently sold my CBR 929RR Erion Racing (German Version).
My next bike will be either an RC51, Ducati 999R or something else that goes REALLY fast.

CBR1000 and CR250R

CBR1000 and CR250R

How do you like the CBR 1000?
I am still considering getting one.

Road bike: '02 CBR 600 F4i with a yoshi pipe.

Track bike: '93 CBR 600 with Kuehne flat-side carbs, Corrillo rods, HRC wiring loom & pistons, Marvic Magnesium-alloy wheels, full Moriwaki titanium pipe, many and various other go-fast bits... :uhyeah: it puts out about 100 on the dyno, and only weights about 145kgs.....

I'm thinking about trading the 02 for something different...two 600 Ceebs is a bit too vanilla.....

Good call on getting rid off the pipes on the CBR.

I have no idea why Honda insists on putting pipes that weigh a ton on their bikes.

The first thing to go on my CBR 929 was the pipes, I put Yoshimuras on it and threw on a Power Commander plus some other goodies to give it some extra fun.

When I was done it rolled in at about 170 ponies (it had about 160+ stock) and weighed about 60 lbs. less than when it was all stock.

Yeah, the pipes *gotsta* go.

BTW, the 1000RR *rawks*. I rode a mate's at a track here in Aus, and they turn like no-one's business. Awesome.

2002 GSX-R 600 here.

Starting to get into the canyons but the rain just keeps coming back.

I like it, handles nice and has plenty of power for street use. I think I might go with the RC51 if I was buying again. Nothing against the CBR, but there's just something about the RC51....

Mine is a 1978 Ducati GTS, done up as a 900SS. I've got a few other bikes, but they are in various stages of repair.

The first bike I rode was my brother's CBR600F2(I think it was a 1992 model). It had a D&D full race exhaust(used to hear him coming from a few blocks away), Attack rearsets(which made it uncomfortable for me to ride with my long legs), jet kit, CBR900 rear wheel, etc. That bike was fast...at least that's what I always thought until I got my ZX-12! The only mods I've done to my bike are a Muzzy pipe, fender elimination kit & rear tire hugger(EuroBikes), and Lockhart flush turn indicators. I don't see the sense in me doing engine mods on a bike that can do 180mph. 1st gear, 2nd gear, and I'm already well over the speed limit.

Cool thread, nice pictures.

HD Dyna Wide Glyde 1500

[Cryozombie]

Yeah, i gotta agree with you....hypersports bikes dont *need* much in the way of engine mods. I know a guy with a nitrous ZX-12R...but he's a freakin' nutter.
