had it for 1 month

yup/ i kept telling myself one day i'll learn and get one......that was 5 years ago.

one day i just decided to buy one/ i didn't even know how to ride and took a full class for 370 and it was the best money i spent in a long time. it's a great feeling to just go at it and ride!

you can get great deals now on bikes. i was at the shop a wk ago and they had a r1 1999 blue w/ 7k miles for 5k beans

Gixxer750 isn't a real gixxer...anything under a 900 isn't a real bike!

Actually no.. people say the 750 is on par with R1's and ZX-11's.. it doesn't perform like a 750.. its a great bike

I got vids from my co-worker of guys adding turbos to their bikes and smoking the tires from about 50 or 60 mph. Sick stuff!

Any kind of crotch-rocket isn't a "real" bike, IMO. A chopper built by Jesse James is a REAL bike.

First off Jay there is no such thing as GSXR 650 ? They come 600,750,1000.

As far as I am concerned anything on par with a GSXR-750 is a real bike. If you want to go get the 1000 or 1300 then be my guest. However I want a bike that I can ride hard. I've seen 1300R's lift in 3rd gear dammit under full throttle with no clutch drops, just pin the gas.

Katana is NOT on par with any of the sportbikes, this is why I sold mine. It's more of a comfortable riding bike. I AM going to get a GSXR750 real soon.

I'd rather ride my 1978 Puch Moped then get on any Fugly Chopper.

Re: Re: ohhhhh brother

'busa? Ugliest bike on the market right now

When are you boys going to grow up and get a Ducati 999 or an Aprilia RSV Mille R?? Those are REAL bikes. And they won't be worth only $1500 in three years like your gixxers will be.

Italians know how to build a bike. Duc's are sweet, but Aprilia's are actually the best bike to ride on the street. Superb reliability, quick, refined, and a really nice dash

BTW, we sell both, so give us a call and we'll give you the best price in the country!

I'm an Aprilia man myself
