Cruiser, tourer or sporty?

[Monkfish]

Hi people,

I was just wondering?, what type of bike the general population of KB rode or preferred. Cruiser, Tourer or a sport bike?

and what was the most popular here at KB?

Cheers,

Monk.

Where's the poll then?

[Monkfish]

sorry don't know how to add poll, in hindsight that was a fail.

:facepalm::sweatdrop

[baffa]

And dont forget the pushbike option :laugh:

[Gremlin]

None of the above. I ride an Adventure Tourer. :woohoo:

edit: You forgot dirt bikes, enduro bikes, scooters... oh hell, lotsa things.

It doesn't change anything. Mine is better than yours.

Depending on my mood... and the weather... and where I am riding to... I ride a Harley Sportster or a BMW F650 dual purpose bike.
Love both!!!!!

i with gremlin,adv tourer.They not really dual purpose bikes imho but thats just me...You may still be able to add a poll to this thread

[ducatilover]

was once a sports bike, I suppose people would call it a sport tourer now apart from the fact that I've gone mad and made it an uncomfortable bitch.

In short, a silly sport bike.

[martybabe]

I like them all but I'm most at home on a sport/tourer. In a utopic world I'd have one of everything :yes:

[Jantar]

Adventure.

[Geeen]

As has been said before, " I like my bikes the same way I like my women. NAKED!"

[Jerry74]

Sport bikes until i turned 35 then discovered I had harleyitus cruiser all the way for me.

[nerrrd]

Mine is an adventure-y / tourer-y / commuter-y / (monstrosit-y?) sort-of bike...otherwise known as a BMW f650cs. Which is pretty much an ordinary f650 in drag. Can't sell them (except to women), according to the BMW sales guy where I get it serviced (not where I bought it, obviously).

I don't care, I like it! Reminds me of the sort of bike Brains (from Thunderbirds) would have designed. Or an (original) iMac. It's nerrrdy.

Um...ones with 2 wheels?
And engines, of course...

[skinman]

Cruiser
I think you will find lots of sport riders on here.
Could be because there a vocal lot.
Us cruiser riders are snobs you know.

[SMOKEU]

Japanese crotch rockets FTW!

[TrentNz]

Dirt bikes mate.

I tried to add poll after learning how, but the option was not available in the edit screen and the advanced editing screen. :(

Personally, I lie the sporties - even though the bikes are way better than I am. I like that forward seat and I just lurve the available power and handling.

Having said that, I've ridden many different styles and enjoyed them all at the time.

[Sliver]

sports, Nothing like the ability to go from 0-100 in 3 secs

You don't need a sports bike to do that. :no:

Because I can't afford a shed full of bikes, well not nice ones anyway, I tend to go for versatility.

Would consider a half faired middleweight for the next bike but the options are limited. Kawasaki & BMW have something that might suit but would involve a major drop in HP. As does the new Honda NC700 series, plus the appropriate model in that range has a highish seat...

'S all OK though, got a while to think about it. (God willing :-)

Why don't you just keep the Striple?

[Tigadee]

I have a naked bike and a cruiser at the moment... Can't decide which one I like more. Both are so fun in their own ways.

No you don't, my old bus will do 0-100 in three seconds then, theoretically, tour the world two up with camping gear at speed, in comfort, commute and raise an eyebrow or two at a track day. Sport tourers, the closest thing to a garage full of bikes without having a garage full of bikes.

PS. I don't consider gravel roads when choosing a bike cause I'm a pom and don't like them, if I did an adventure tourer would be my steed :yes:

[pritch]

Cause I'm 68, by the time I'm likely to be changing bikes I'll be looking up the barrel of 70. Something lighter with a lower seat height might be nice, and I may not really need 128 ponies.

Not old enough for a Harley :whistle: but could be ready to consider a Bonnie?

Makes perfect sense.
A Bonnie would certainly look the part :woohoo:

[GrayWolf]

Depending on my Hardly Ferguson's mood... and the weather... and where I am riding to... I ride a Sportster, or; a BMW F650 dual purpose bike (dual purpose, it's reliable and the electrics work in the wet).
Love both!!!!!


there fixed for Ya

:laugh:

:laugh: Now that we have tightened everything that was loose, it is very reliable! I am the one with the mood :confused: but you get that with wimmen, and armed with my trusty CRC, I go anywhere.

[MIXONE]

Gimme the keys and I'll ride anything.
