damn...looks like you're the only one here O_O if it means anything, before i got fucking pudgy(because we ALL know that fat guys DO NOT belong on bikes), i wanted 2 bikes:

Triumph Daytona 675 (love the feel of this bike...very lightweight and easy for me to throw around)

or

Honda CBR600RR (this bike to me is like a jdm fanboy's fascination with the Skyline. a little heaver than the Daytona but still able to throw it around)

[SochBAT]

92 Centurion Le Mans 12 speed.

94 Fuji Sagres 12 speed.

Oh wait......

My buddy has an all black 675 and is completely in love with it. It felt alot like a 600rr to me. 600rr handle great but just leave you wanting in overall pull.

haha i guess I didn't specify what kind of bikes i meant.

Isn't there already a motorcycle thread?

I know for sure there is one in premie land. I thought there was one in off topic as well...

[ZilviaKid]

im going to look at/buy a 2005 Ducati 620 tomorow.

what kind of shit goes wrong on bikes that i should be weary of?

[!Zar!]

On a Ducati? Everything.

hahahah

[speedgod^s13]

On a Ducati? Everything.

hahahah

LOL good one. On top of that, be prepared to pay out of your ass, when something does break. If you ain't got deep pockets, i'd stick with a Japanese bike. Back on topic though, I used to ride an 02 f4i, and after that I picked up an 03 Yamaha R1. The yammy is still my favorite bike, but I wouldn't mind getting a 1000rr later down the line.

[ZilviaKid]

its ok after i got my insurence quote i decided it wasnt happining anyway. ill stick to my ruckus haha

[WanganRunner]

2008 Ruckus - died out on me on Friday, not sure why.
1960 C100 Supercub - Bought it running, died the next day. I think it's a ground.
2003 Ninja 250 - Carb needs cleaning, at the least.

As you can see, not getting much love from my 2-wheeled possessions right now.

Haha. Good stuff. I thought this thread was dead. I just got my 929 out of the shop! after like 6 months! Turned out my cam sensor had elected not to function and the ecu decided to follow suit. luckily only a $600 resolution. Alls well that ends well I guess i have a spare bike for either track or turbo project. Also, Anyone familiar with motor caging?
