Yamaha
Why?
because I own one
because they have for decades come back time and again with world leading bikes in many classes
because I own one
because they are inovative and will produce their concept bikes qucker than others
because I own one
Because they are not afaraid to copy others styles that work, but do it with many improvements over the one they copy
Because I own one

What's with this "Suzi's aint built well" BS??? My RF was bullet proof as is every other RF, GSXR750 & 1100's, bullet proof. I bought mine at 75,000, rode the handle bars off it for 15,000km's & it never missed a beat, no probs.



Pffff to Suzi being bad quality

Yeh, the newer gixxers are pretty much chinese crap, but the older pre k series are pretty bloody bulletproof....
I'm a Kwakka fan really, always seem rawer and less civilized than the others... but I also have a soft spot for some Dukes, and loved my KTM Mxer.
The reason for honda gayness is that's how they are, metrosexual for want of a better word, always boring and well finished and just gay

[Tank]

I'm one of the lucky ones and get a full choice of bike because I don't care about the brand.

Ill buy the bike that suits be best at the time given my riding requirements, skill level (or lack there of), budget and egos.

I wouldn't stick with brand "X" just because I a brand "X" whore. Those people often end up missing out on some great bits of machinery.

And given the diversity of opinion you cant all be right.

[Maha]

No real preference really but I do have thing for these at this present point
The new 08' FZ1S...you will find it the 'Sport' section.

Yes, IN a straight line havnt had the chance on twisties, then again thats more rider skill...And im still not "that" good

And Serious im surprised as you. but the surprise has worn off over and over and over again.

[Coldrider]

I am a honda man, though i've owned a kwaka for a few years, shock horror this kwacka is as well made and reliable as a honda. My first bike was a suzy and i thought i would always have one.

[JMemonic]

Never been too brand concious, if I like it, can afford it, it meets my needs, and has good reviews then that's what I look at, actually that's what I do for everything not just bikes.

[jim.cox]

Any bike is better than no bike

[ManDownUnder]

No preference really. I stick to the Japanese 4 (Honda, Suzi, Yamaha and Kawasaki) and love the look of other bikes but anything that fits me, is an inline 4, has enough grunt, is reliable and is a road/sports bike is what I buy

Um it's not the ride it's the rider, the zxr 250 is best suited to my riding style.

Oh wow, a straight line, so you are talking power.

good on ya. but we all know straight line doesn't matter, thats just twisting your wrist and your bike, why have a fast bike that ya can't ride.

tell ya what.

when you can stick with spank me from orere point all the way to auckland on your 250 like i did.

With him on a k7gsxr750. (he only gainede on me on very longggg sweeping corners, we were both good boys on straight to even up the cc difference.)

or keep with vegabond. a rider of 25+ years on his cbr600.

stuck with him from kaiaua all the way to botany, hes one hell of a rider, was amazing to watch, but shit.

actually spankme was a harder chase.

meh anyways, stick with then then i will give you a go, otherwise do not waste my time.

it would not be a race, but you can call it one if you like.

Sweet.

and my bike is mostly sold off as parts.

i have my reasons.

The pre k gixxer i would consider buying, that of the 98 srad gixxer sem-fiddy would look awful nice in ze garage.

I would consider a TL1000R too, but i hear the handle like a shopping trolley.

[Disco Dan]

Kawasaki - they have been leading the superbike brand race for flipping ages... and their new ZX14 ...oh makes me want to have babies with one.

[Dooly]

Had most main stream makes over the years but as time goes by my preffered makes now in this order are...

Triumph
Ducati (only the length of an ant's public hair behind)
Yamaha

Would like to think I'll always have a Triumph (and maybe a Duc) in the garage and just add different brands with it when I feel or can afford to.
Not interested in HD...........but have quite the fancy for a Yamaha R1 at some stage...........

Yeh sure, you must be real stong.. you no carrying your bike in pieces. :lol:


And what i meant by im not "that" good is im no valentinio rossi.
I can ride my bike and I do push my limits a bit, But from what iver heard from others, your a idiot and go wayyyy beyond safe to prove your dumbass.

I can ride my bike and I no I can, but I still have a hell of a lot to improve on.
And to be honest a sports bike would probally suit me better on weekends, but as most of my riding is commuting, and i really like the look of my bike I think now my Hornets pretty sweet. And yeh Ive beaten a zxr round scenic drive and vfr 400, but hey thats the rider not the bike,

Yeh im down for some track days, more into stunting at the moment. Geting some sprokets 2 teeth down on the front. should be fun.
Also going over to the states next year so hoping to go to the california superbike school expensive but man it looks wicked ( see if you had a job maybe you could save and go there as well ). Im keen as on track days.
Like I said heaps of room for imporvement and guess thats the best place to learn

[avgas]

There always was something about Yamaha for me. The precision side of things (see their logo). However its all bullshit. The only hondas i like are naked. I like a kwaka growl, and Suzi reliablity.
But my favourite make has to be Bimota.
Favourite aftermarket makes - Lazareth and Yoshi.

Anything with a reputation for reliability and dependability is looked upon as not being very sexy whether it's true or not.

real world choice would be honda. cbr600rr to be exact.

Always loved my Suzukis - had four.
Rode a few Yammies, owned 2. Great bikes.
Honda is the Toyota of bikes - a few good models but never spun my wheels.
Kwaka have alway had good engines...but I prefer red.
Trumpet, BMW, HD etc have grabbed my attention over the years but...

After a lifetime admiring Ducati sticking to Dr. T's basic philosophy, doing so well in Superbikes, MotoGP surviving multiple owners and now a week & a half & 2 thousand kms as a Duke rider...I'm sold!

Ducati :love:
