    GSX - Biggest Selling Bike????

    I want to understand why, so, if you've bought a new bike this year, I want to know what and why?

    I upgraded to the Triumph from a YZF 600 because......
    a) it was time, i had the yammy for 7-8 months
    b) riding two up, i needed more power
    c) i like blue
    d) and the sound it makes.......... yummy
    e) it was way affordable

    I haven't bought a GSXR - it'll depend on what money I have. And even then I probably won't get a GSXR coz of the fit.
    Looking at a RF900 or ZZr110 or similar - coz I won't have to get anything specific done to them (I'll fit them straight off)
    Last bike I had was a LS650 Savage - I bought that coz of the price (and doubled my money when I sold it)

    Got to say, I really like the Triumph, tripple is nice, but not faired, so don't know how much I would truely enjoy it, the Daytona 955i is a really nice looking bike.

    Colapop, good on ya, not many can say that!

    Got the Tazer cos i hated my life and wanted to go fast again.
    Plus i couldnt stop smilling after riding it - its the first bike that did that to me. I dunno about the new 955i - it was alot sportier ride than the old one i felt. But i dont like being so low anymore

    Replaced a 98 1200 Bandit with a K6 Busa.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    "04" R1, Plenty of controlable power and nice and light to throw around on the tight sections. I think its the safest in its class and its the sexiest bike ever made.

    Bought a new Z1000 , Why? because kawasaki rocks!

    Seriously though had me a 900 Hornet 2 years ago and binned it, in doing that I also bust me spine. That really put the 'willys' into me as to how close I came to never being able to ride again, anyways I now live with extra screws and plates. Makes you stronger they say.

    Them 'willys' told me I need to slow down,(Hell no I won't give up riding) so out I went and bought me an S83 cruiser, sure was good fun for almost a year. Then I found myself pushing it's limits and we all know cruisers can't handle and can't brake, so in effect I was actually worse off than riding a sprots or semi sprots bike minus the speed factor, but hey cruisers can get up there

    So to get myself out of harms way I traded the old lady in and bought me a young slapper!

    Hence the high straight speed (and noise) and slow corners?????

    Wouldn't think having a wheelie competition with Patch would constitute conservative riding though.

    I must say, it is a nice bike tho!

    Blah

    I upgraded from a 4 mth old custard K4 Gixxer to my Bleck Pokemon...

    Why:
    Cause I liked the look of it.
    Got sick of everyone having the same bike as me
    It got balls...a lot of them but handles far better than my "old" K4
    Nicer ride and power delivery
    Better colour
    It scared me into submition
    It was there and I could...
    I needed retail theropy
