BT's Bike Thread

It is an 06 Suzuki SV1000S.

I always worry seeing some poor guy jump on a 1000 and loop it in the first 100 yards. If you have the experience then i would say to go after a 1000 or maybe the GSXR 750.

The ducati's used to run $20k + they are down around the same price as the rest of them. They have a beautiful sound that will stick out in a crowd of bumblebees.

 

V-Twin sportbike FTMFW!

 

Marcel, based on what you have said, I'd recommend a v-twin upright sport bike, or something like BMW's touring line.

 

I worry too, I grew up in a boom town, seen enough friends go 1000's right out the gates and not once did it end well. For bikes I've personally owned, I grew up riding my parents Suzuki 250 for years. as a teen I had a 450 dirt bike, and I owned my own 650cc for 2 years before I sold it 2 years ago. And I've driven my best friends GSXR 600 easily over 20 times.

Also found out I don't need to take bike training and already have the "Training" discount because I've had my bike license for 5 years

 

Ur driving record must be awful

 

no he lives in canada, we live in iowa (some of the lowest insurance rates in the country)

 

note the cost of things with an R in the name.

 

I'm not sure I'd have a bike if my insurance cost that much.

We get screwed for a lot of pricing here, but our wages are higher to compensate. Used to be because US dollar was worth 2 of ours, now that it's par I the US companies are making serious bank up here, very few have lowered their pricing.

I pay 2200$ for the Taco per year

Can't f*#^ing wait till my "25 means your now responsible" discount.

 

I pay 2500 for my taco, mazda3, and sv1000.

 

Yea that FZ8 now seems pretty worth it. But I reaaaaally like the sports bike styling and rider stance. Don't like the "harley" stance biking

 

I pay 90 bucks a month for My taco and my ninja.

 

the fz is still far from the "hardly" stance.

 

have you looked at the Kawi Z1000


or the Suzuki bking (naked hayabusa)

 

Then again... I could always just buy like a 6 year old 600 so I can learn stunting first..

 

NO!! I didn't know they existed.. I want to do sexy unspeakable things to those bikes.
