New CB1000R

[madbikeboy]

$19,000 buys you:
A new GSXR1000.
A GSXR750 and leathers, and a deposit on a lobotomy.
A new Fireblade (one dealer is showing the FB at $1800) plus tickets to Rarotonga, which you'll need after the reality of owning such an ugly bike kicks in
A weekend in Vegas (las, not roto) with hookers, and all the Viagra you'll ever need.
A CBX thou.
Fake implants for the mistress.
A new kitchen for the missus.
A deposit on an apartment in Auckland.
Sophie Lewis for a night of rooting - but she was freely available to the rugby player, so you'd still have $19,000...

I'd be completely torn - the choice between a CB1000 and any of the others on the list?

Just kidding, there's little decision - I'd take the Gixer thou or 750.

Which I'd much rather have than anything mentioned to date on this thread, including Honda's shiny new over-designed, over-powered commuter bike from some 1950 sf artist's bad dream.

Japanese designers need to stop either copying the Brutale or making bikes shaped basically like a Brutale but with bits sticking off at different angles, and actually start thinking about what looks nice.

Mmm. Nice. More pictures please.

I've said this myself a few hundred times - bike designers need to shrug off the bullshit design groups that build unoffensive copies of other unoffensive designs that are passed by committees and marketing boffins - and they need to start building bikes. I like the KTM RC8 because their R&D department is 50 times larger than their marketing department. I like the Confederate Wraith because it is what it is. Name one truly outstanding bike in the last 5 years that is innovative (aside from the KTM and the Confederate).

The weekend in vegas with drugs and hookers is looking good. I ride Gixers because they're an evolution, and they're reliable, fast, well sorted. They're the sensible wife who can cook and who likes good sex. A confederate is more like a borderline bunny boiler, who is incredibly hot and fucks likes she's possessed. What a sexist analogy.

Just google 'Harley Davidson XR1200R'.

AMPS will have a demo bike in September.

I'm going to ride the RC8 first. I'm trying to work out how to justify spending so much cash on something that isn't as fast as what I have now...

I test rode AMPS one about a month ago & really liked it
I like the look of the CB1000R special that the Italians that designed the CB for the Japs did.

Throw in packing your nose full of the finest blow, smoking the finest weed, drinking the finest booze as well. All while a few hot hookers are polishing your knob. If you're gonna do it, do it right, life's short
