I'm pretty much on motororcycles as I am with cigars. Ride/smoke what ya like. That being said, my Streetglide gets it's work done at the local Ducati dealership ($15) an hour cheaper.

As I look at those bikes, they are just butt ugly to me. The bikes look like the builder just hangs parts off any spare space there is to attach some thing. I know the engineering is good, but asthetically - they have a long ways to go IMO. YMMV though.

I'm with you- ride what you like and like what you ride.

My 06 gsxr600 (red/black)....these pics are a little old (the summer I got it and no mods were done) but that is all I can get to at work.....that is my ex-gf if you are wondering.

Wow, lots of fast bikes in this thread!

I have a really slow and expensive 2000 Fatboy with a lot of chrome and Stage 2 engine mods. The engine is punched out to a 95 incher.
It makes lots of noise, sets off car alarms in the neighborhood, sends small children running from the 2 into 1 Thunder Header exhaust, and can't corner worth a crap.

Overheats as it is air cooled and I live in Florida and you could get 2 GSX'ers for the price I paid for it USED.

My 5 year old daughter just now isn't scared of it as she is scarred for life from a burn off the muffler after I told her to stand back!!!

I wouldn't trade it for the world, although that cute girl above would make me think....

I'm pretty sure I was sitting in the parking lot enjoying a stogie when you guys took that picture, I kind of remember the chick
