My first bike was a 1967 Honda 150cc that I paid $300. for. I just saw the same bike on one of those antique restoration shows and the thing sold for $5,000. My Favorite bike was a 441cc Victor Special. It was a b*tch to start, but when running properly the thing would climb trees.
I know thats right I still have a purple ankle from that darn thing...had one too
Don't apologize for riding a Rice Rocket. Hey, you're riding! I have one, too. A 1990 ZX6 Ninja. I rebuilt the motor last winter and painted the wheels, frame, and engine. New tires, sprockets and chain. 3500 miles behind me this past summer. It looks and ride like new. I will always have a sportbike, even if I get a touring bike someday. I love the sportbikes.......the acceleration and handling are such a kick in the ass. I will never get sick of that. It takes just as much skill and brains, OR MORE, to handle a non-tank like sportbike. A comment was made about "walking before you run". Dude........you're running! Don't let these other guy's make you feel inferior because you don't have a H-D. Besides, H-Ds are like belly buttons. Everybody's got one.(Ooh, that is going to piss some people off)I realize I will probably get flamed for this (Japanese bike) but oh well - I can take itI ride a Yamaha R1. I did some mods to it as well as having it sprayed with chameleon paint. It satisfies my need for excitement quite nicely. I also have a Kawasaki KX 500 dirt bike for off road use - it is a beast too
Ok I'm ready - let it fly
