Fuck it, let's ride!
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.Originally Posted by maha man

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!

Bought the Speed Triple after owning a ZRX1200R Eddie Lawson Replica for 18 months Bought bouth from Brand new I like the Speed Triple because it Handles a lot better than the Kwaka did and the power delivery is awsome
"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.![]()
Rehab is for quitters
Bought a new Z1000 , Why? because kawasaki rocks!Originally Posted by Ozzie
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?????Originally Posted by Vagabond
Wouldn't think having a wheelie competition with Patch would constitute conservative riding though.
I must say, it is a nice bike tho!

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
'06 Bandit. Because the '02 was getting on. And I like 'em.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.
K6 gixxer thou.
The K5's weren't very durable.
I bought 06 636 but now wish i'd bought a Blade
Ducati 999, cause its my dream bike, not to mention a very capable machine.
Kawasaki 636 cause in 05 when I got brought it , it was the best 600 bike on the market.
Ive run out of fucks to give
