sportbike riders chime in...w/pics

[ChangLi]

Hey guys and gals I've been pushing the same old two wheels for a long time and am considering a change. Your suggestions, stories, rides(pics always appreciated) I'm a big boy 6'1" 240# so I need a big bike. I recetly rode a dealer modded Buel, what a hoot! I could hardly keep the front tire on the ground but after, I could barely pull the seat outta my a$$. Most UNCOMFORTABLE bike I have ever ridden. Your suggestions, stories, pics...thanks for your time

 

[raptor13]

I suggest you lose some weight. That way, your choice of bikes will increase dramatically.

Raptor, I was originally gonna respond with a HEARTY F^CK YOU, but then I realized you prolly have a tiny tiny penis ands a brain to match and decided that I would prolly have to explain everything to you and that being so challenged, you still would be confused, I've decided to just thank you for your input and wish you a great day. By the way, you RIDE what?

Cheers

J

Wow

 

[bwass24]

Try the BMW R1100S. link It's heavier than the Jap bikes but still a great and stable sport bike...and the anti-lock breaks are totally amazing

Did you miss his (), or are you just having a bad day?

I know you wanna feel like a big boy and all, but if you're gonna get respect for riding a bike that's twice your size on ATOT, you're gonna need to do a better job photoshopping out your kickstand.

 

[ChangLi]

Scarp,

I ride better than I photochop. Also as you have such an eye for details, you prolly noticed that the individual on the bike is more like 4'1" and 60lbs. He photoshops better than he rides a 600lb bike.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

I fixed your crappy photoshop

Here
It's not the best, but it should look good in the small size you use on your page.

Really though.. that kickstand was atrocious!

Edit: I redid it with a good brush.

 

[The Stigenator]

Hayabusa?

SuperHawk?

Triumph 995

plenty of bikes out there.. with advanced riding expereince..

as for me I ride a lowley GS500 and yet I still love my bike.

There are some videos of us doing some high speed runs - you can hear my pipes quite well if you wanted to hear what a 1000cc V-twin sportbike with race pipes sounds like.

That Suzuki R1 looks cool. Never seen one before.

 

[BillGates]

That's a TL1000R -- Yamaha makes the R1.

I was going by the filename of this picture. Now I realize it means right 1 .

According to this guy Trey, "see, thats how you get rid of a kickstand".

Seems like you have a big problem, maybe a weight problem

Heh, my bad.... My photo software adds "_r1" to the end of a picture that it rotates and I was too lazy to fix it. Sorry about that.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Hmmm the TL1000R has an awesome headlight. Reminds me of the 300zx lights.

 

[crumpet19]

What model is that suzuki bike, how many cc is it? how much does it cost? and where can i buy one?

There are two suzuki bikes in the pics -- are you referring to the yellow one or blue one?

 

[crumpet19]

the pretty pretty blue

 

[BillGates]

That's a 2001 Suzuki SV650. My friend just got it -- killer deal. 1400 miles, mint condition, all stock: $3200. Blue Book is about $4200 for that bike.

650cc VTwin and a very well-liked bike that has gotten great reviews. Lots of people tweak them out and race them. Fun little bikes, that's for sure.

There's also an 'S' version that has a half fairing on the front for better wind protection.

WTF?!

I guess it's that time of the month.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Dont know what kind of riding you do, so I dunno.

The SV650 is one sweet bike.

If I were going for a twin sportsbike. I would go with an RC51

Of the 1000cc superbikes, the nod goes to the gsx1000

Big hyperbikes, mine of course.


The last two bikes will quickly kill you if you havent much experience.
