My Weekend Fling
 

This is what I'm riding this weekend. I'd love to add it to the stable, but can't right now. But boy, what a weekend it's turning out to be! :D

Nice bikeeeeee! My company is getting its dealership over here...
We also have KTM, I highly recommend the Super Duke...:cool:

No bike lovers on here anymore? It's been a great weekend.

Tis a nice bike.

I used to like bikes, used to have one. However, smoking, eating, reading the paper, talking on cell phone, or carting a cup of wawa coffee in a car is easy, however, very difficult on a bike, thus the practicality is hard for me to justify.

I still have the Aprilia and it is one amazing bike. My buddy took it up to over 120 and he said it was effortless. I'd still rather have a ZX-7R, but this one is keeping me grinning from ear to ear.

That Aprilia is twice the bike that the green machines could ever hope to be:) Im still recovering from being rear ended on my smokin joes almos 5mo ago. probably wont get another bike till I move out of Florida. Sad:mad:

Sorry Dan, did not see your post.

Yes, very cool. I would expect the Mille to be a good deal quicker than the ZXR 7, no?

I have a Blackbird myself, see below. Didn't get out this weekend, as I had to clean the chimney in preparation for installing a new stove.

So my ridgetiles were the only thing I got a leg over.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Joe:D

The RSV has 130hp and is 414lbs dry. I have to look up the numbers for the ZX-7R. I love Kawasaki's so I'm biased there, but the sound that V-Twin makes is amazing. Higher pitched then the I-4 in Japanese sportbikes.

Here is the 2002 ZX-7R I like:

That's a lovely bike OK. I am very fond of the ZX 9R myself, and the newer ZX 10 as well.

They are too sporty in architecture for me to enjoy one as an everyday bike. They are good for a Sunday blast for an hour or two maybe.

Ultra sporty is not too practical. Your tail way up in the air; all the weight forced onto your wrists; handlebars so near the front axle you can't look around in traffic?

Not for me. They are designed to be good on a racetrack, so by default they are not ideal for the road and for observing other traffic.

That's a Rotax engine in the 'Priller, BTW, and they have now produced a new twin for Buell which is in their new 1100 cc sport bike. Pretty quick but very ugly.

My back is fubared and I cant lay over a sportbikes tank at all. Besides, if I could ride one, I would be in a heep of trouble. I make it a point to watch all the races on SpeedTV....MotoGP, SBK, all of the US series, etc.
I currently have a HD FXDX.

I'm thinking of test driving one of these ;)

After riding the RSV and the R6, I got on my ZR-7, which is a naked sport tourer and I feel like I'm sitting straight up, when in fact it's a slight lean. Here is a pic of the ZR:

How do we post the actual pics, instead of the little link window?

The picture needs to be hosted on some on-line server. It can be in your locker here on the Network, for instance. Or it could be on Flicker, or some of those.

Joe:)

I thought there was a way to alter the url or something that posted it as a pic instead of a little link thingie. Yes I am very computer savvy! :) I can navigate around, but beyond that, not so much.
