Speaking from experience - Suzuki Hayabusa's are not only faster but extremley, and by faster i mean extremley faster from 0-100 than a Phase One 172 - by a fair old margin hahahahaha..

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Is that your own? Thats stunning!

 

[Matt.J]

No, I wish! This is mine http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?547809-New-Slip-On-for-the-Gixxer&highlight=

He's from Scotland and takes that Ducati (p**n) down to Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland and back etc.. It's a great read.

Have you got a bike Dan?

As daft as it sounds - i dont! Mega jealous of the folk that do though.....

The old man got me into it (Scrambler/50cc Yam) few years ago..

 

[rory182]

Love the RC8, still think the 748 / 916 are ironic.

BMW S1000rr is nice in the flesh / detail. I like the monsters and street triple, daytona 675 is awesome too, sound amazing.

My two Honda 400's, had the 400/4 for nearly 22 years, arguably my most sucessful relationship...(it doesnt give me backchat & I can ride it for as long as I want) :approve:

I've been working on this video today. I've only got Windows Movie Maker and my Galaxy S so it's not exactly Turkish standard of video editing but still...

Here's my pride and joy:

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Wow at some of these!

Need some Moto Guzzi's in here!

 

[Scott S]

Nice bikes! I am happy with my 600RR, its a sweet ride..

Do you use this as a daily bike/Commuter?

I have a SV650s now and I want to keep it for another year then get either a CBR600, or an R6, but my bike is my main form of transport. I take a 30mile round trip trip to and from work each day.

 

[ch!ppen]

Shall i add some of my Uncle's 1098R? Yes?

With my Aunty's old Blade, she's got a new R1 now

Weird one this, my Dad's Cagiva V-Raptor

My Duc

My Uncle's current Gixer... Worx replica

 

[Matt.J]

All of them are absolutely gorgeous mate! I heart the 1098r. Oh my days.

 

[nufctoon]

i dont know too much about bikes but i know i will own 1 one day but my favourites are

ducati 999

honda fireblade

yamaha r1

 

[ch!ppen]

He's certainly a jammy git lol. Never got to ride the 1098R unfortunately. I hadn't passed my test that long and didn't trust myself. My dad say's it was amazing and the most impressive bit was the brake's. Say's it was like hitting a wall the way they stopped you. The Gixer's an animal though, i've ridden that and it is scary scary fast lol.

I've been thinking about trading mine in for the Gixxer 1000 but like you said, I think I'd find it too frighteningly quick! Your Duc looks the part mind. Bet it sounds great. Just looking at all these makes me want to take mine out, roll on Spring

 

[LIL B]

Dorsoduro factory with full exhaust for the road and use this for track

 

[Pep]

ch!ppen, that Gixer is unbelievable!
Loving the carbon wheels, badly wanted some for my R6 but they cost more than the bike!

Sold this in the summer:

Build it all up myself, everything black is basically carbon fibre.
Badly want another though, miss the thrill!

Also got this shed sat in the garage

For a bit of enduro / motox fun.

 

[RoryW]

One of 4 NC30's I owned in early 2000's. Such a fun bike

Then jumped to

My last bike. Amazingly good bike but an animal on tank slapper's
Honda Fireblade RRT 918

My Current which i cant see me getting rid off.
Honda VTR1000 SP1

 

[Tunst]

Old man had one of these

Then sold it and bought one of these, its in storage atm though so will get some pics when its out

Its got a carbon can rear silencer, carbon rear splash guard carbon tank protectors, few other bits

The Gixer is actually quite docile if you make it be, as we all know, only as fast as you make it go. But with all that power there you're constantly wanting to let it rip. I do ride it with a bit of nervousness about me - although i'm unsure if that's just due to how much money it's had spent on it lol. And yes, carbon wheels do cost a bit. He bring's them back when he goes to America. He had another set on one of his older Gixer's. My Aunty had Dymag's on the Blade, i'm pretty certain her R1 will get something similar. Will get pic's of that when we get it up at my house soon.

And thanks Mafiew, i love the Monster. It's mint in the bend's, such an easy bike to ride but it's only a 620cc (my first bike) and so it lack's a bit of power for me now.

Rory, i love that SP1

 

[Tez.]

i passed my full bike test and have no idea what to buy. been reading about bikesfor a year and half and theres nothing that jumps out to me!

rode

hornet 6 ( nice bike and gerbox was the best i felt)
