I used to have a SV650. I wasn't very good at riding it and that caused my loved ones a considerable amount of stress. I miss riding too.

Thanks for the props, it was almost 60 degrees today somehow, and I'm super bummed that I didn't ride her. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get to, I miss being on two wheels

btw, for anyone that doesnt know, its an 08 Kawasaki versys with SWmotech engine bars, Givi side racks and hard cases (not attached in pic obviously), barkbusters handguards and oxford heated grips. I love her to death Edited by fineout

I have an '07 Harley Nightster that I have bobbed out. It's got drag bars, inverted mirrors, solo springer seat, exhaust and air done. It's my city cruiser most of the time, as bikes with no windshield are not the greatest on the highway (though I do still ride it on the highway).

I also have an '09 Buell XB12R Firebolt that I mostly just ride on the highways and such, and for late fall/early spring riding it is pretty nice (full face helmet, leathers, etc.).

I like both, but what with Canadian winters they are both parked in the garage until probably early May :(

My dream bike is a Zero Engineering bike. [url="http://www.zero-eng.com"]http://www.zero-eng.com/[/url] I really love the look and the functionality of the Type 9, but it looks ridiculously low and uncomfortable for extended riding, so I'm not too sure. Next time I come to Vegas and molest Nate, I'll be swinging by their shop or one of their dealers to check them out/possibly test drive one. If not that one, the Type 6 is pretty tasty, I just don't know how much I would love a hardtail on our roads.

They are awesome, a very unique bike. I love how my Firebolt looks like it's going to sound like a typical sportbike, but it rumbles and roars like a Harley. It's wicked seeing the looks people give you.

Yeah, I think this is a general bike thread, motors or not. I like non-motorized bikes as well, I just have not had one in a few years.

Well, the problem is that bicycles are for little girly girls and real men/women have motors between their legs (this ended up sounding both sexist and dirty..my job here is done) Edited by fineout
