Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

have you ridden a 4 cyl? they're a whole diff beast compared to a twin lol.

i like the sound of twins down low, but I4's up high lol. call me conflicted

yup. bmw feels like a normal bike up until about 8k RPM and then it takes off like a rocket and throttle response is very twitchy. Thing wants to be let loose...requires a responsible wrist lol.

IDK though, the ZX4RR top speed is 150, i think if one is not a speed demon it should be plenty for most?

nope definitely not the only one.

before I stumbled upon the BMW I was pretty much only looking at previous generation R1's since they still had an undertail exhaust

 

ya i have ridden a friends zx6r fun bike and fast but to fast for what id want so dont ever want one. i know i wouldnt stop my self from speeding so best to not get one so that doesnt happen plus someone has told me no since she doesnt want me to hurt my self and i agree with her.

i just like the thumpy sounds of twins i do like I4s sound but prefer the thump and rumble sounds of the twins

forgot the r1 had undertail still i wish more companys did it




wish this could get undertail exhaust... but it sadly wont happen lol

 

Undertail exhaust ftw as far as looks. Never been a fan of down low side exit look (but i get it from performance).

Favorite I4 sound is the crossplane in the yamaha's.... lawwwwddddy *drool*

 

agreed it looks the best! i get why its not a thing to get more performance but eh it just doesnt always flow with the bike in the other ways.

that is a good sound but id prob say ducati tbh ive always liked the way those bikes have sounded

 

The dry clutches are like nails on a chalkboard for me. The looks though

 

Same...so I got the best of both worlds. Please enjoy the song of my people.

 

haha its never bothered me to much tbh do agree on the looks thou they are always on lock

will have to watch when not at work but at least im not the only one in here haha. something about the deep burble sound they have is awesome to me i just love it!

 

I can't stand it anymore, my Ducati has one. I keep a full cover on it to try and minimize the noise as much as possible

 

ah fair enough haha respect for knowing what you need to stay away from lol

boy have I got a picture for you RE: undertails....here's my brother's old R6 he used to win custom shows with.

Spoiler

I'd have to say Ducati wins for me. There's something so throaty about em. R1 is a close second though

I recently discovered that the dry clutch thing is now just an option, that people pay an extra $3k for on most Ducatis? Is this true or did I misundersand?

 

I like the sound of ALL bikes. My favorite back in the day was the Honda rc51 vtwin.

 

It just gets to me

Geez, I'd be more willing to pay 3K to get rid of it.....not to add it

 

one day I hope to run into someone who has one so i can hear it.

but yes, all bikes sound great. even a grom or 50cc lol

 

That was by far the most distinctive. Had a buddy that had one and got Nicky Hayden to sign the tank at Road A

 

yuuup i know what i would do with it lol not as fast but i had a civic si coupe and it could hit 138-140 and well it sure does! so i know if i had a bike that fast id be doing what i did with that car so best to not have something like that...


sadly your image dont work at my work lol ill check it out later!

 

i think someone i know use to have one of those or still does? i know its a rare old honda

 

That bike is what caused the AMA to allow liter bikes. It waxed the 750's asses all season.

 

well now you can be more willing to buy one at MSRP knowing it doesn't come with it! lol

ugh fine i guess the other guys in here can appreciate it until you can view it lol
yeah I constantly have to check myself on my bike lol.


whew @nd4spdbh @but why tho how you guys holding up with the weather? rain over yet for you guys? it keeps coming in waves down here...will pour monstrously for a few hours, then clear up for a few hours. lather rinse repeat

 

id have to ask him what it is he has i know its a old honda sportbike that he either finally got rid of or still had

 

haha it happens all the time with pics man! my work dont like em half the time lol
ya i already ride rather fast on a sm and a bit like a idiot so getting something faster will be worse.

you guys are getting all that rain for not going out and riding while the rest of us were snowed in lol. also what ever happened to the other cali dude? he kinda just dipped

 

Back in 2000 I had a 1999 Honda cbr600. I wanted an RC51 real bad. The Honda dealer had one that I could have bought but I chose the CBR929rr instead because of the 2500 price difference and the brick seat and aggressive riding position. It was a lot of money back then. I loved the CBR929rr , turned out to be an awesome machine.
