I don't have a bike, but my buddy races Rob Jensen's old 07 GSXR600. He never rides on the street, he'd laugh if you called him a squid. Do you race Jimmy?

I think the squid term is f-in hilarious.

1. Squid - what street riders look like after they crash
2. Squid - Street riders, like squid, only go fast in a straight line.

This is the 03 Suzuki Z400.


And Finally a 02 Suzuki DRZ400s. This is a dual-sport bike. Alot of fun to be riding down the road and then all the sudden see a trail and just bail off into it. Mines the one on the left. Hard to see bc it was a camera phone.

I don't know why the pics didn't show and I couldn't figure out how to edit, so I attached them.

I do like the K1200S, or whatever it is; I just could not bring myself to climb on anything with the letters B, M, and W on it.

[mrplease]

yeah i like the k1200s as well. almost got it but i like the look of the k1200r

and i know what you mean. it was tough to buy a bmw, but the quality materials compared to the japanese bikes i looked at were a big difference. and its nice to have something a little different than EVERYBODY else. and trust me i wouldn't ever buy a bmw car! bmw stops at motorcycles for me...

[JimmyH]

that's why I got a Ninja. I can count on one hand (maybe both) the number of ninjas I will see this summer. In contrast to R1, R6 and gixxers that are out buzzing like bees.

This is the one I really like. My favorite feature is the handlebar mounted suspension adjustment. Cruiser or sport bike on demand.

Mr.Please. Beemers are nice. Generally too heavy for my liking tho. The Triumph is a great starting bike. Its awfully thin tho, isnt it? I always felt big on it.

If I were to get a bike now, Id be looking at a 1098, best bang for buck sportbike on the road, imho. Theres a tonne of aftermarket for it, like the rest too, but be prepared to give up an organ for every part.

This was my first big purchase ever. I sold it with only 300 miles on it because I had no time to ride it anymore at the time... I am looking for another ATV at the moment tho... I may be able to actually buy back the same exact one I had...

I have some really good pics on paper of this quad in action... Dont have a scanner tho
