Not me - I got a cruiser myself. Kawasaki 750 Vulcan -- My buddy has a few sportbikes...

just couldn't wait could you!

ok, learned on a '72 Triumph Bonneville, bought an '82 Nighthawk, went to a 1200 Shadow, now I have a '96 ZX9R and an '02 Busa with a turbo

1st bike-'05 ninja zx-6r......i like it. i have plans to lighten it much more. Not to race or anything, but just something to do. Everything from the Rims, Fairings, to the mirrors as well (even though the mirrors don't weigh much). just a hobby.

I love sport bikes. Just the looks of them. The way they're designed. Taking those cornes.

My next bike is going to be an R1. But i'll wait to either I pay off my bike now, or pay off my Denali.

My next bike after the R1 is going to be completely different than sportbikes. I gonna go the other route.

nothing wrong with love for other bikes.

my 1st owned bike was a 1972 honda cb750 that i bought in 1986...when i was 16...

then rode most of my friends bikes until my dad picked up a honda magna 750 back in 94...

i pretty much rode it along with my lil bro..then i bought my zx7 (1194) off my buddy back in 2003...then sold that and bought my current bike...1997 honda cbr 900rr as seen in my sig below...

So...then does this mean i cant see his busa?

My first bike was a 1990 Katana 600. The thing was a pig, but I figured if I could learn to ride that, I could learn to ride anything.

Currently, however, I am bikeless

Sold the Katana to help fund my wedding. I was supposed to pick up a new bike after we got married, but.... wifey got prego. I was planning on buying a bike when my daughter turned two (this july) but sure enough...wifey is prego with baby #2.

The bike gods are sure as hell not smiling on me!

I've actually posted it already, I think in the oldschool pics thread, just search by post made by me.

first bike was an 82 Yamaha XZ550 Vision. What a piece, they are a constant maitenance headache, and it was really slow. Handled really nice though..........

now I have a 88 FZR1000 in blue/white/gold. It has a 4-2-1 header to a supertrap, R1 monoblocks and MC up front, white mirrors, stage 1 jet kit.

Its about to get a full 04-06 R1 tail conversion, and once thats on I will probably swap to stock R1 undertail exhaust.

I plan to get a new smoked windscreen too.

I'm sporting an '04 R6, a little hard on the back on my ride to work, but it's worth it. Started on a '98 FZR 600, moved up to a '96 YZF 600, now the R6. Maybe i'll try a different mfr. for my next bike.....but probably not. I'm feelin the new R1s......
