I just found out that my kawi doesn't have a hindle slip on. It's a full system. Score :-)

The Superhawk for the street,and WR450 for the trails

seems like having a street bike and another toy thats for off roading is the more popular option, and a little cheaper aswell than 2 street bikes

btw i traded my 04 polaris predator for this bike, the thing had a 530 stroker motor, hindle pipe 1/4 twist throttle and a few other goodies. the kid has only ever been on dirt bikes. rode this around, i watched it get loose on him a few times at part throttle, he pulled up to me white and expressionless. and then the other day a friend of mine found it for sale on kijiji by him,

Currently have 6 bikes:

'98 VTR1000 - a lot of fun to flog!
'02 Suzuki DR200 - for commuting.
'02 Suzuki DR650 - goes anywhere.
'04 'Busa - goes fast! Good touring bike.
'05 Ducati SS1000 - bling bling!
'08 'Busa - goes faster!!

Recently purchased a bone stock 2003 Superhawk. I also have a not so stock 73 Suzuki GT550 triple-2 and a 69 Kawi F-5.

There is no way I can part with the cafe 2-stroke!

More than one bike? Ahhhh............. yeah. As of today I've got one less, but the total is still 9. Oh well, I've come to grips with the fact that it's a sickness.

Tweety

Stopped counting a while back... Makes it easier if my significant other asks me... Then I can honestly say I don't know...

mikstr

Ever the pragmatist, lol

'00 CBR929RR - Had it since Sept. /04, plan on keeping it forever. Lots of spares for it, and track bodywork.

'03 TW200 - Fun little trail bike & around town scoot. It's an x-course bike from the MSF course I've been teaching for the last 6 years.

'98 VTR1000F - The price was right, it's been modded tastefully, and it makes a better streetbike than the CBR.

Multiple bikes is a sickness for sure. Now I've got to build a nice big shed to store them all, or move and get a place with a garage... hmmm... big garage, more bikes!

uchi

ive been toying with the idea of buying something to turn into a cafe racer after my wedding, or buying something thats already been turned into one, i think im after a project to get me out of the house in the winter, lol

matt365

I did the same thing 2 years ago. Got a '78 CB750F from my friend that had been sitting in a garage for probably 20 years. Only had about 5,000 k on it.

Turned it into this.

matt365

Here's another.

uchi

nice man i like that. my buddy has a mid 80s i think 400 kawi, wonder if he wants to get rid of it still, he wanted 500 for it last time we talked about it, that was two years ago. ill see him during the holidays see if he wants to get rid of it then

actually, that thing would be a kick *** classic racer for the track

nath981

that's a great little machine you got there. That's an interesting bar/mirror set-up. Did you create that deal?

nath981

I'm fortunate enough to own 2 bikes. A 2002 Honda XR650L for manifold duties characterized by extreme versatility:

5% dirt/woods
10% fire roads
40% testing higher velocities in the twisties
39% spreading gravel on PAs pathetic tar and chip repairs.
1% snow duty(clad with chains)
5% cold weather riding(equipped with Hot Grips and ATV mits)

Would not want to be without this one.

matt365

Just a bar end mirror, and a set of adjustable clubman bars from the '70s. I kinda regret getting rid of the bars, they were some italian company... can't remember the name... hmmm.

I sold the bike about a year ago. I'm used to riding sportbikes and sumo bikes, and I was really overriding that 750, constantly scraping hardparts, mostly just pegs & exhaust... I knew it was going to come back to bite me, so I sold it off.

oh well, there's always another bike, err... uhh... many bikes it seems.

nath981

Cinelli, Modolo bars maybe?Yeah i had the bottoms of my old norton megaphones flatened, but never really upset things too much. Once when i whipped it over from a hard right to a hard left, I hit the megaphone so hard It slid sideways about 4 or 5 feet and, didn't highside thankfully, just kept on gettin it.

Anyway, nice bike. Thanks for the pics.

Red_Liner740

99 VTR - first bike, just finished 3rd season with it....
01 zx7r - bought on a whim with intentions to turn it into a track bike, and never really did anything with it. cleaned the carbs, spent maybe an hour riding it and found it way to uncomfortable.
08 gsxr 750 - this is gonna become my primary ride next season. its a great bike and i picked it up for a great price.

BUT

everyone once in a while, i come across something like this and thing to myself....man that looks like a lot of fun...

smokinjoe73

Yeah, the race ones are yellow. 2 street ones are both 98 red hawks (one sport touring, one SSS, CBR front end & Mario Nava bodywork)

uchi

redliner that tard looks wicked man. ill have to come visit you next summer and check that thing out. actually ill be in brampton in the next little while getting my new 1 piece suit maybe we'll get together then

smokinjoe i think you have most beat for the collection of coolest **** in this post, lol

nath981

[/QUOTE]

that's the one i would be riding. I like the husky 610 also. great handling suspension for smoothing out irregular surfaces, will kick most sportbikes' asses in the twisties, comfy, and can serve you well on fireroads and trails.

Red_Liner740

you guys misunderstood...i dont have that beauty, i just see those for sale and see myself riding one on one wheel....EVERYWHERE! lol

i'm sure down the road i will have a supermoto like that.

matt365

DRZ400SM is fun, but I need more snap. I need a SM to break loose the rear tire when I goose it coming out of a corner, progressively slide and hook up when I point her straight; the DRZ400 won't do that.

It'll wheelie on the clutch in second, and on the gas in first. I had it doing 143kph strung right out & i'd expected more.

It's fun, but you'd have to put a couple grand + in cams, exhaust, flatslide carb, 3x3 airbox mod, and possibly a big bore kit to make it a real Tard.

Something like a couple year old KTM 525 SMC would be the ticket.

Just my .02c

nath981

or a husky 610SM

matt365

That'd be sweet.

tried a couple of my cousins dirtbikes yesterday. An '08 (I think???) YZ125R motocross bike... Stupidity fun for sure. Clutches up real easy in 2,3 probably4th... Feels like I'm riding a BMX bike it's so light.

Tried his CR85R as well... now theres a bike thats almost impossible to ride. Powerband is so narrow and wheelbase is so short, when you hit the powerband it tries to wheelie over backwards almost instantly... 2,3,4th whatever... My uncle piloted it into a tree a couple months back and snapped the bars in half; retarded little 2 stroke.

I say ride anything you can get your hands on, but respect it, even a little CR85R can hurt you quick; I had the bugger verticle in a field trying to fight the front end back down, thought I'd lost it for sure!

hahaa.

D VTR RIDER

The long trips on the VTR was getting tougher every year so I broke down and bought a FJR1300. My wife didn't squawk one bit when I gave her the news since the Firestorm was getting hard on her ***. She rides with me a lot more now. It has plenty of power and I can ride all day without any problems.
Having said that I still like my VTR and don't plan on selling her. It is now used strictly for track days since insuring 2 bikes is way too much money.

salgeek

'96 FXDL - My daughter likes to take a spin here and there. + the bike was ridden by my late mom.

'03 Superhawk - Fastest Street bike I have ever owned. I'm really enjoying rolling on the throttle in turns having the bike spin the rear up ever so slightly. What a thrill. Quite honestly I may drop offroad and give the track a try. The twin is a beautiful motor.

'09 KTM 200 XCW - Enduro Race bike

'11 KTM 250 XC - Hare Scrambles bike | Practice bike | Trail bike. Too heavy and too much HP to race Enduros on.

.... prepping for the last D14 race... steering stem bearing grease it's been a wet season. And tire change front and back in 30 degree weather - sucks. I'm a bit tired of bolt prep and 243.

I got my Hawk in the beginning of this summer, I took it to two trackdays, and lowsided on the second...that prompted me to get a track specific bike, so I traded my 88 supra for two, yes two FZR-600R trackbikes. Took the running/riding FZR to New Jersey Motorsports park two weeks ago, all I can say is WOW, it's amazing riding a bike set up for the track, it handled soooo much better compared to my Hawk on stock suspension, I couldn't believe it. Can't wait for spring.....
