My ride. Yamaha vstar silverado. Its been a great bike for touring around on. Not tooo expensive, looks great, and fun as all hell to ride. IMHO, not many bikes (with the exception of Honda and BMW) can touch Yamaha for quality.

I think I may have the cheapest other than that trail 90 :)
FYI: I covet all of your bikes, especially those of you known as Tippster.

wishful thinking.. my dream bike.. first i need to learn to ride a bike like that
I'd go for a Duc Monster 620.
Currently own a Honda CBR600 F2, but I haven't ridden it in over a year. It's not legal, and I'm pretty sure it'd get stolen the second I brought it home, not sitting in the back of my truck. Shitty neighborhood, so I keep it on base until I figure out what I'm going to do living-wise (may move).
1974 Kaw HD 750 2 stroke. I doubt that there are that many of these still around. It's been sitting in the b/yard waiting for some disposable income that doesn't get spent on ski/fishing addictions

Have the Triumph,
want the Buell
mine is a 2003 Aprilia Futura RST 1000 Sport Tourer
Yetiman - that is one cool Yammy 650! What a great engine that was.. I am torn on my next bike - I commute rush hour/car pool lane thru all the madness which I like my current sled for - I like some of the new big cruisers (Victory Kingpin and Yamaha Road Star in particular) but the "controls forward" thing is comfortable for cruising, but but just not as nimble in the traffic madness that I deal with daily than a bike with conventional controls, where they are under the center of gravity(Kawasaki Concours, Yamaha FJR1300, both good commuting bikes..) I really need two bikes...
PS I wish they would BAN HANDHELD CELL PHONE USE while driving here - So many car drivers out there just NOT paying attention..:(
When you get it running you gotta ride it around wearing one of these, Dibs...Quote:

His and hers. The black one is a 620, the yellow is a 748 as you can see...

Are you kidding? Sell me that H2, they are worth big bucks! Nicknamed the "widowmaker" for good reason, they were banned in the UK and are one of the quickest off-the-line bikes ever! http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/exhi...bikes/Mach.aspQuote:

I think street is cool, but it scares me and I'm too much of a clam to ride around cars. Sadly, I have since sold my RM250 to funnel my money into skiing and flying, but someday I will resume.

This bike brought me a lot of pleasure and some pain. It holds a cult classic for a few. Kind of nice when hardcore Harley riders tell you your rice rocket is rad.Quote:

I have a smaller racing sprocket that I could never bring myself to install. There are times when you hit your shifts right that this bike would fly and all you could do is hold on and enjoy the ride.I have reached a point in my life where a new pair of bros and dynafits would bring me more pleasure and be a hell of a lot safer send me a pm if your interested.

I figured there were a lot of riders among the Maggots. COOL!
I've had two passions in my life from a young age, motorcycling and skiing.
Current bikes:
2003 Kawi KX250 (2 of them at the moment since I just got a new one to replace the old)
1999 Honda CBR600F4-got this one new when it came out(yellow).
2006 Yamaha TTR50E-Purchased 3 weeks ago for my(just over) 3 year old son Preston. It's an electric start four stroke with training wheels. He puts his helmet on, turns on the key, choke, and kill switch, and cruises the neighborhood pretty much at will already.
1976 Honda 50-My wifes from when she was a kid. Now a collector bike.
Past bikes:
1994 Honda XR650L-sold 2 days ago-had this one since 1994.
2002 Kawasaki KX250
2001 Yamaha YZ426
1995 Yamaha WR250
1983 Honda XL600-Rode it to Southeast Alaska twice(using the Ferry).
1985 Maico 250 Spyder
1982 Kawasaki KX 80
1976 Yamaha YZ80
My buddy just got the new Triumph Daytona 675 triple sportbike. Very nice!
I'd like to get a faster sportbike, something like the Kawasaki ZX10.
Anyone in Utah want to be put on our Moto e-mail list?
It seems that is NOT the Waterbuffalo (hence the Comic, Dave) since there's no radiator. I like what this guy did to his....

Honda 50 MiniBike. Those were the days. I used to have one of those, and a McCulloch 101 (two stroke, 16hp) strapped to a Rupp frame. That is about the time I realized that I love speed.
Don't have ANY of my bikes on film, but..
Street:
My very first: 1982 Kawasaki LTD750:

Bought one of these & had it for 2yrs before it got stolen right out of the parking lot: (THIS was a fun bike ~ fastest production 600 at the time!) 1994 Honda CBR 600 F2: http://www.sportbikez.net/bikepics/m...1139754264.jpg
Dirt:
1984 KX80 (bored to race 105 open)
1987 KX125

The rs50 could be fun, but the roads aren't quite tight enough around here.

2004 Yamaha Zuma 50 (scooter for the gf)
1986 Yamaha Fazer 700
Not one Harley yet! Interesting.. :cool:

That is one ultracool machine. Kind of gives of the vibes that the new Triumph Scrambler was going after

Technically speaking no, but Buell is owned by Harley and their engine blocks, Trannies, and belt drive are pretty much straight from the Sportster 1200.Quote:
