Default Sport Bike Riders?

I'm a speed and deceleration addict. Throw in some yanking and banking and the occasional "I almost Shat myself" oops and life can get no better for me.

These are my track tools.

WOW, very nice machines!! I could make a Harley rock, set some records at Bonniville, built some of the fastest HD's on the AHDRA circuit, and some extremely fast flat track machines, but getting a motor to rock and to last was tough, i got tired of rebuilding mine every time i went somewhere, so i bought a 900Supersport and sent the engine to Fast by Ferocci, man that was a fun bike, got into trouble a few times and finally sold it when i realized i didn't have the reaction times of a 25 year old anymore....

That's why I ride mostly on the track. With 3 levels you can get good enough to ride with the fast guys but as you age or as I like to say, mellow (LOL) you can go back down to the intermediate class. I only ride on the street to check setup and I'm close to having the bikes where I want them and then that will stop all together. Setting up bikes when the track is a couple of hundred miles away does have some draw backs.

I love bikes, and better yet I love V-Twin sport bikes. I had a 1997 TL1000S with Yoshi RS3 Pipes on it and it sounded so beautiful.

I made a very stupid mistake and traded it for a 4 wheeler. 2001 Raptor 660 with a 686 Big Bore kit.

Kick myself in the ass on a daily basis for letting my bike go...I am not in the hunt for a another one!!

Love the look of that RSV, and that Ducati is sick too, both bikes are super nice!!

Default Love two wheels

Not sport bikes but, I do like two wheels but, I like road trips too. The red one is our old R 1100 RT and then I went for more comfort with the K 1200 LT.

I used to be a sport bike fan and really loved Kawasaki's and Ducati's. Then I got married, had kids, got fat and the bikes went up forsale. Miss them alot, nothing better than the wind in your face and great country winding road drive. I do still have my Italian scooter collection from the 50's and 60's .... Now a days, got perfect for me

Squid, very nice setup, sweet !!

I find I love the bigger the sport bike, the more comfy I am, not for the speed, just for the space. I think Suzuki could make a hell of a Spotr touring bike outta the Hayabusa if they REALLY wanted to. Kinda like the way Kawasaki did it with the ZX1400/Concourse.

But I have found a bike that is a bit of both, sporty, quick, great looks and cruiser!! The M109R from Suzuki is a bike I have been drooling over for several years now. As soon as I get my Ram paid off, M109R goes into the garage!!!
