favourite brand of m/c?

[Monsterbishi]

Honda gets my vote, funny since I just bought a Yamaha...

[scumdog]

nope I refuse to answer given that a certain kiwi desighned and built bike is missing.--and NO not the Brittain

Yeah but how many NZetas are still on the road these days?

[PSYCHO]

Kawasaki 1st
Honda 2nd

Simple really

[idb]

HARLEY beeping DAVIDSON all the way!! like I said, there's two types of riders, those with Harleys - and those that want one!!

[oldrider]

I voted Honda but just because I own a Honda (and have owned a lot of Honda's previously) There are no bad motorcycles, especially compared to 1st class walking.
Come to think of it I have owned a lot of motorcycles, period.
I bought my first one in 1954. .

Whoa. You must be old

Did you ever get into the brit bikes and stuff like that too? (Oily darn things so I'm told).

And Hondas are all good untill you ride a Kawasaki.. then Hondas feel bland!

Poking a bit of fun at ya mate... you must have some pretty good stories to tell and experience on the road then I suppose.


edit: Ducati. May spend more time in pieces but boy do they go well when they feel like it. And who don't know what a Ducati is in the general public 'ohh whoa you got a ducci' etc. Ferrari of bikes.

And that sound

No option for "other"

Velocette will always be my choice. "Always in the picture". And Vincent as a runner up.

I love lots of different bikes so I don't think I can narrow it down to one! I've only ever owned three bikes - all new - and I've only ridden a handful of others, so I'd probably say Suzuki makes bikes that suit me quite well. The RG150 was a lovely bike for a shortie like me, and it had a great grin factor attached to it for such a small bike. The BMW F650CS is gorgeous to look at (in my eyes, and that's what counts), very comfortable to ride and has good power. Bloody expensive though. And the Goose - well, the Goose is like a grown-up RG! I feel incredibly naughty when I ride it, like having fun is somehow deviant! I've also ridden the husband's CBX550 - a bit heavy for my liking, but a neat bike for something from the 80s. I had the loan of a Honda XRB200 for a trip down south five years ago and that was a whole heap of fun. Sure it had very little in the way of power or acceleration, but on gravel it was a great little bike.

Aesthetically, I love Aprilias, MV Augustas, Laverdas, Ducatis, Brittens and just about everything else listed/not listed! I think the V-Rod and Super-Rods are neat, but apart from them, Harleys would be my least favourite bikes. Probably more to do with the culture than the bikes themselves - I've never been a fan of fringes...

Oh, and Coldkiwi - there is no apostrophe in Aprilias if you are talking plurals (more than one Aprilia) - only if you are talking about something belonging to the Aprilia - like "the Aprilia's styling...".

Couldn't answer this one. Nearly every manufacturer would have at least one model that would make them worthy of an affirmative vote.

[What?]

Yeah... You tell him!!

Would have preferred a multiple selection poll so I could have ticked more than one - chose BMW because I aim to own one one day but I like Suzukis and Hondas too. I like all bikes but the ones I've had the most experience with have been Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha. Interesting to note that so far the top two are Honda followed by Suzuki.

[spiller]

..... No KTM or VOR?? .... I currently ride a honda so..

[marty]

Whoa. You must be old

and a very slow reader......

[monkey99]

I like the way they do things, however would have an RC30 as a "bike for my living room"

You are Gone Burgers...The RC is a kick ass bike fantastic riding machine although in this day & age a bit heavy..still would munch up a few of the latesrt high performers tho..know this been there!!

[ManDownUnder]

Wonderfully pointless thread...

Like asking what flavour is green...

I like sports bikes, biggish ones (600 upwards). Don't care who makes 'em so long as they're sporty, comfy, repliable and not too pricy.
