    Default Motorcycles anyone?

    I have a 2007 Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS and a 2009 Buell 1125 CR. I bought the Buell when HD killed Buell. There were killer deals to be had and I snagged one. So, now I have the V-Strom which is the jack of all trades and master of none and the hooligan bike nicknamed "Vader". So, let's see your current bikes!

    A few pics:

    We sold all of ours last year, knees wouldn't allow it anymore. Was pretty hard after riding motorcycles for 40 years but everything comes to an end sooner or later. Here's the last ones we had, my '00 H-D Fatboy & '06 H-D Street Glide and the wife's '03 H-D Lowrider in Death Valley in '05 returning from the Laughlin River Run.

    This is my current ride, aprilia SMV750. Great bike for everyday, normal riding. I like the V-twin power, and it is much like the V-strom.

    kidder, wish u were around here to ride that 1125 on. we have some of the best twisties around, although a trip to the dragon would be awesome, closer for u than me..
    I like the looks of the buell, but they really needed to tone down the fighter-jet sized intakes on the front..

    I started on a tgb laser150 scooter and still have it. 12pk of coors fits snug under the seat. makes a great beer runner...
    commute around 7k/year on my '08zx6r. love bikes and hope to always ride one....

    hope everyone posting here gears up, and that doesn't mean a bandana for the head

    the scooter and my old '06 ninja250. first "real" bike..

    my zx6r..

    '06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

    Below is a pic of my former 1993 CBR900RR. It was the first year of the RR and I believe was the bike that started the lightweight, open class genre of sport bikes. I bought it from a kid in Boise, ID who decked it all out as you can see in the pic. He had a bunch more stickers on it that I removed. I kept it for a few years then got out of motorcycling altogether. I really didn't enjoy riding as much as I thought I would and I had a couple of close calls on the road so I decided to get out of it before I got hurt. That thing was a beast though, especially for me who did not have much experience on a bike at the time. It was cherry, never been dropped, and was in the same condition when I sold it.

    Doesn't look a whole lot different than sandm's 15 years newer sport bike, does it? Although his 600 I am sure would run circles around this old school 900.

    I agree, that Buell looks like one bada$$ bike but those intakes are way too big.
