Streetbike aka Crotchrocket Thread

[BajaBoy]

well lets get some pix and thoughts about them!

my delema. I am a rider and have had Many bikes, and ill really have no time to ride anymore when i get my lisc. Well i have about 10-12 friends that ae getting them. And i talked to my dad and he isnt crazy about it bc he has a bike of his own and knows what its like. Two of his brothers dumped their bikes and never road them agian. I totaly understand about riding them and what not with water/oil/gravle. Im not planning on doing crazy crap. We would end up riding down the shore alot and just having fun.

i was planning on getting either a Cbr600 or Vrt1000r3? -input on what u think.

also this might sound noobish but you can hear some bikes over others.. they are just plain Loud. (without mod of the pipes) Im thinking that those load bikes have v-twins in them insted of an inline 4 cilender.

correct me about it if im wrong.. i just want one of those loudas* bikes.

This has nothing to do with crusers (sp) or choppers.. just Streetbikes.

ok ok, lets just make this into a CycleThread! Poste pix of all your bikes. I know you want to show off your babies

[Big'n slo]

Loud, just plain Loud

[Big'n slo]

Loud and comfy

[punkncat]

Buells are pretty cool.Quite fast and handle really well.The only thing I didn't like is that they will vibrate the ever loving hell out of you.The motor is directly mounted to/part of the frame.There are no rubber mounts to reduce the vibration.
Of all the bikes I have owned my CBR600 Hurricane was the most fun.It was plenty quick and handled really well.I would own another Honda before any of the others I have owned/ridden.
Currently I am saving my change for a CBR900RR or the new 919.

My bike



Thats my bike about 3 weeks ago. Before someone ran into the back of me on Sunday. Now take away the left side muffler, rear foot peg and bracket, and crack the fender and tailight and you'll know what it looks like now. Sucks.

I Envy you big n slo. American is the only way to go! A true motorcycle, a Harley . when i was little i had all these Harley toys, i used to dream of owning one. And Buell, yes buell, the only "crotch rocket" (ricey style) type bike i'd actually ride, plus its made in partnership with Harley, rock on


One day im gonna own a fatboy

[ProjectMag]

I'll add to this


Here's a little joke for you Harley lovers - What's the difference between a Harley and a vacuum cleaner?

[CasingBill]

my guess

vacuum cleaners are suppose to suck?

[Pokaris]

I still own a vaccuum?

Ugh, seriously if you want loud and street bikey, go with the RC51,TL1000 or SV1000. 1000 cc v twins, that can roar like a Harley. Big fan or the TLs, RC51s are ok, havent ridden the new SV, but it its like the TL S it should be sweet. I'd run like mad from the Buell, my brand new Harley leaked oil in under a year and they use the same engine design. The '94 Yamaha that I have here at college thats been in a car wreck doesn't pull that crap. Rain, oil, and Gravel tend not to be the problem so much as idiots that decide they want your lane. I love bikes and slidding across the asphalt scared the daylights outta me(I slid hard and fast enough for my watch to burn me). Wear a helmet, wear a riding jacket, they are your best friends. They keep you alive.

Of the two you mentioned, the CBR is good. Problem here is everyone has them, I saw 5 2001s in a row once, same color scheme, it was hilarious.

[bornl33t]

tell ya the truth, I'm not a big fan of buell
ducati's are NICE
Harleys would be my choise but their tag is high.
I really like that hayabusa
CBR954RR will be my first real bike next summer

oh yeah, and west coast choppers suck ballz. Jesse is a moron with a big head and a attitude. And anyone with a little skill can make the crap he puts together. I can.

Yeah, I had a relaly bad night at work, so I'm not practising any restraint on my dissin' so you're all welcomed to let me have it in return

[bornl33t]

oh yeah, the dirtbag is on the outside

[Clare]

my dad and his harley...

He recently bought a brand new one!

oh yes they are. They are my fav bikes but im not gunna even go there bc of the price tag. I work at a dragway so i do get to see a number of bikes but i dont really have a chance to talk to them. The only thing i have heard about ducaatis is that they are a nice sum of money.
