What Motorcycle you ride?

Honda C110.... Fab!
 
Been through quite a few, but ended up falling for the Honda Superhawk. 1000cc twin, nice low end grunt for the street. It had a few shortcomings that I took care of with upgrades (it's been my vehicle to wrench on). After all the mods I ended up with the perfect bike for me :)

^ Clean CBR. Would be even cleaner without rear pegs.

@FogCityNSX: That is wicked!!

Thanks!

I think I might put it up for sale though. I'm kinda craving a few different bikes right now
1) Adventure bike - KTM or BMW 1200/650/800GS
2) Motard - Yamaha WR250x, DRZ400sm or ?
3) Dual sport - DRZ400s
4) Ninja 250 or R6 track bike

And I think I might be able to get 3 of 4 or more of those bikes from the sale of my Duc, used bikes of course. I'm actually heading to the BMW dealer in a few minutes to see what they have to offer :)

Lately, I've really been wanting to step down to smaller cc and lower power machines. Having tons of power is great but I miss the sense of satisfaction of being to man handle your bike and wringing the p!ss out of it while ripping out of a corner. Kinda getting tired of having to tip toe around with having so much power on tap.

I am sure none of these or all put together come close to Duc :tongue:
Guess you going top down.

@mdb: Did you get custom suspension?
Love the color combo. I like burnt orange a little more.

Thanks :) It never photographs well, its actually a slightly darker "Hugger Orange", but still kind of bright.

I put the front end from a CBR 929 on it for bigger, inverted forks, much beefier springs and more adjustability. It also lowered the front about an inch which quickened up the steering. The wheels are OZ's from an RC-51, much lighter then the stockers. Handling was massively improved after that, it became a whole new bike :)

I want to own one of everything :)

I've found some interesting KTM 990 Adventures and BMW 1150GS bikes for sale!
 
I've had over a dozen bikes probably since my college years, sadly all of them have been crotch rockets so I told my wife when our kids get older I'd like to try a Harley or BMW touring bike.

here's a few bikes I've had (as you can see I keep coming back to R1's) although Busa's have a special place in my heart :wink:

My 99 R1:

This is my latest ride now that we have our baby and I'm enjoying this one the most :)

God damn! you been through quite a few and all of them are nice. Busa looks scary for me.

The best was white/European red and NSX So finally I see one more R1 and NSX owner.

Congrats! The baby ride is nice. Is it bugaboo?

Picked up a 2004 RC51 Nicky Hayden edition two weekends ago. Full Sato high mount exhaust, PC, and sprockets. Always wanted one of these bikes.
