Congrats bro! I love bikes. I plan on picking up either a Ravens edition R1 or Aprilia RSV 1000 early next year. Rode a few bikes but never actually pulled the trigger on one. If the repsol plastics weren't so played out from Honda guys with 600's I would've aimed for a real one :/

SOOOOOOO played out! Not to mention that you can get the cheap ebay plastic set for 400 bucks! I love that RSV though.. I almost bought a RC51, cause i love the way the V twin sounds and the power it had throughout the RPM range, but i went with the Kawi.

I had a 2012 Ducati Monster I sold about 7 months ago to raise funds to move to California. The plan was to buy a new bike when I got out here...then I bought a 370Z instead lol. I still want one though for around town. I might pull the trigger on the KTM rc390 or a Ducati Scrambler. we'll see.

Congrats I ride r6, but after my z, I don't ride the bike as often now. But, you can sell it..... It's two totally different kinds of fun!

Nice ride. I have an 08' ZX6R myself. Third one the other two are no longer with us. I can't wait to see how much the new H2 will be. I've been drooling over it for days now.

I sold my bike and bought my car. It's more practical to me. Riding in the rain feels like getting pelted by hundreds and thousands of pebbles. I then thought about saving up for another sport bike but then I wanted boost for my car. I live with my bro and he still has a bike so I still get to ride when I want to.

I brought it home last night and it was parked in my garage for about a whole 30 minutes before I started working on it. I decided to pull that giant ugly *** factory muffler off to expose the swing arm and obviously make it sound better. It's still got a factory cat, and honestly, I love the way it sounds with just the cat and no muffler. I probably won't even buy an aftermarket exhaust, I'll just put on a little slash tip and be done with it.

I rode for many years on both a zx10 and a 636. speeding on the streets here is expensive because you can get your vehicle crushed and a 10,000 dollar fine for anything over 149 KM's so I sold the bikes after getting lucky on some tickets. I have a few friends that just ride with no plates and run everything a cop chases but that's not for me, I have a great career and family.

I do miss the brutal acceleration and top speed of a bike though especially every time one flys by me rider tucked and throttle pinned.

Ontario Canada. Doesn't matter if you are going 150 KM's or 250 etc. once you pass 150 you are screwed if caught.

that makes going to a race track a lot more appealing.
