Least a bike doesn't say "I don't want to ride today"

Oh, I don't know.....

Perhaps you just haven't tried the right bike yet!!!

It's purely a figure of speech, like saying "it looks hot!" You know what I mean jelly bean?

Some bikes look sexier than some woman

I'd be equally annoyed if I could not do either. I'm with you though, except the any woman bit

That's OK - you just haven't met the right woman yet.
She buys you the bike.

I love bikes, and I couldn't give a monkeys left testicle who makes them. But I always go back to Hondas because of their reliabiity and build quality.

Ok, I have a couple of questions for the Suzuki people here. Please can someone shed some light on the very scary pictures around the net I have recently seen and read about regarding the K5 1000 frame cracking. Also can someone please confirm where Suzuki bikes are manufactureered, as I hear different suggestions around the net. Last question why are Suzukis the biggest seller ? I have my own thoughts on this question, but would like to hear why others think they are.

THE FRAMES CAN CRACK AFTER A CRASH , BIG DEAL WHEN YOU MAKE STRONGER FORKS AND TRIPLE CLAMPS SOMETHING HAS TO BE THE WEAKEST, IVE SEEN A PIC OF A ZX10 FRAME THAT CRACKED AFTER A WHEEL STAND . ALL ZX1O C1 FRONT WHEELS GOT REPLACED CAUSE 3 BROKE WHILE THE BIKES WERE BEING RODE NORMALLY, SOME ENTRY LEVEL SUZUKIS ARE MADE IN MALAYSIA AND THAILAND , BUT GSXRS ARE MADE IN JAPAN.
SUZUKI ARE THE BIGGEST SELLER FOR SOME YEARS FOR VARIOUS REASONS , EARLY 98 A POSTAL COMPANY BOUGHT ALL SUZUKI, 99 TR50 SUZUKI WAS VERY CHEAP AND COOL, THE TL1000S WAS A BARGAIN FOR YEARS, AND THOSE 50CC KIDS QUADS ARE A HUGE SELLER

I was thinking as the different companies push harder to get the bikes lighter and faster are we going to see more of these problems arise with all the brands.

WE WILL SEE MORE OF THESE PROBLEMS ,I THINK WE ARE AT THE POINT THAT BIKES ARE LIGHT ENOUGH , I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MANUFACTURERS CONCENTRATING ON THINGS LIKE CRASH PROTECTION AS STANDARD , BUILT IN SECURITY INCLUDING DATA DOTS ,TRANSPONDER KEYS AND ALARMS, 6000KM SERVICE INTERVALS ARE TOO SHORT , SERVICE INTERVALS SHOULD BE 20,000 KM OR SO.
PEOPLE FORGET ITS NOT THE KURB WEIGHT THAT EFFECTS A BIKES TURNING ABILITY ANYMORE ITS THE CRANK AND FLYWHEEL WEIGHT
