Anyone in to motorcycles? - Page 2

Bought my first bike in 1997. It was an all red Honda CBR650F3. Loved that bike. Never did a wheelie.

Bought a scooter a few years ago when I lived on the beach.

My current ride, Boulevard M50 by Suzuki, my daily driver until last week when the parent's gave me a minivan. The van went straight to the old lady. I get the station wagon. Either way if and when I do drive something other than the bike it's a mommymobile.

The rice rockets are fun.. and dangerous!

But, when time passes it's more comfortable to have something "calmer".

Well put, my prior bike (a Bandit 1200S with stage II, exhaust, etc) would pop a wheelie at any more than 1/2 throttle from a stop. It was a blast, but could be scary at the same time - a sneeze or mistwist of the throttle could have less than desireable results.

The Harley aint exactly slow, but it wont keep up with the Bandido. Then again, for some reason I really dont miss the 'zuki much...

I raced for 4 years in the SouthEast, mostly 600 Supersport on R6's, but started in Clubman on a GS500.

I now ride a Yamaha VStar 1100 Custom around town. Still tinker on the GS and tried a trackday last year, but with a family its alot more difficult to get to the track than it used to be... I'll try to find some pics.

SmokinDuck · 01-27-2009, 05:39 PM

Found the picture of the Interceptor.

It's currently in hiding at the back of the garage.

BORIStheBLADE · 01-27-2009, 06:33 PM

Don't have a picture right now, but I have a 2004 SVS650.
