Sportbike riders.... ??

[02CETAgirl]

Instead of digging up a six month old thread I thought I'd start a new one. I'm new here and just was curious if there is anyone that has the passion for bikes that I have.

This is my bike (03 custom painted Yamaha R6):

I ride. I got a '04 Honda CBR 600RR last spring. Theres not too mush done to it. I'll get some pics when i go home this weekend.

I prefer cruisers:

'05 black 10r, and Pecha's got a SV650, I think. We're the only sportbikers on this forum I can think of.

Harleys are american rice. All show and no go. Literally completely inferior in every measureable way. They're loud, pathetically weak and slow. Wait.. rice is usually at least cheap and are made from reliable cars. Harley doesn't even have that going for it.

You've evidently never heard of the V-ROD.

Nice attitude.

Sure I have. The porsche designed V-rod is a step in the right direction, but Harley guys actually seem to hate this thing. It's still not that amazing... any modern sportbike would annihilate it at half the cost... but it shows some sort of commitment to actually having power rather than sounding like they have power as is harley tradition. Even the smallest 600cc sportbikes make just as much power and sometimes more, with half the weight. Nevermind the literbikes. And the liter plus bikes like the zx-14r which are cracking at 200 hp bone stock, still weigh less, and cost less at the same time.

look up v rod screaming eagle. sweet bike. to each there own so lets get this back on topic of bikes and who rides.

Good to see some riders on here... no matter what they ride.

Yeah, I know about the screaming eagle too. A $30,000, non-street legal track only, purpose built drag bike, and it's still slower than the current liter and liter plus class sport bikes which are 1/3rd the cost, will outhandle it any day, and are still street legal! Hell, we even get better gas mileage. Like I said, completely inferior in literally every measureable way. In every way. Sorry man, I know I'm being an asshole, but harley gets me like most of you guys can't stand rice. But imagine the rice cost 80k, is unreliable, and the owners talk down on the real cars. Harley is junk, absolutely no way out of it. They sell an image built through their huge franchise of key chains, commenmorative plates, lighters, cheap pocket knives, and ads and rely on nothing but that brand recognition to sell. They don't sell real bikes for real riders, they sell fashion accessories.

yea I see that you notice the cover..lol 4th day I had it I stopped at the store and while extending the kickstand I though I had it fully extended and of course I didint so it started to fall..I couldnt keep it from touching the ground as I was off bablance(my 954rr had a shorter stand)..no major damage just some scratched..thats one of the things left to fix...thanks for the words!

there is 2 versions, one street and one track.

[Filthy 150]

Harleys and sportbikes are two different worlds.

Its like Corvettes and Caprices.

And just to qualify the above statement,I have both sportbikes and Harleys.

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

I'm looking to get a cheap used CBR600 in the near future.

Here's my SV650, I'll be looking to buy another bike in few weeks.
