Default What's been your favorite bike?

One that own or have owned previously?

out of like 15 past sportbikes, i would have to say its my current bike, it just does everything very well, though i did like the last R1, i think i still have to give it to the 05 GSXR 1000

The R6 gave me that "Oh shit, this thing shouldn't be this fast.." feeling. I loved it, but it was gutless on the low end.

The Buell is every bit as light and nimble with mountains of torque. I love it. I don't ever want a different bike.

Yeah it really was, but I consider myself pretty smart about riding. I've had it since the beginning of may and still haven't pulled the front wheel at all.

Well thats impressive...that can happen without you even trying...especially on a Liter.

I only pulled mine up on a Ride I took to MD going up some Elevation Change Hills...And that was enough for me.

Well I've only owned 2, but the one I have now has been a longtime object of lust. I just think the '04 to '06 R1's are among the most beautiful bikes ever to come out of Japan.

But I've also got a 'thing' for Nekkid bikes, and both the Speed Triple and the Street Triple make my heart go pitter patter (haven't owned either.... YET).

I'd have to say my Gpz-900r that I rocked before the ZX-11.

Might be because it was the only bike that I didn't have fix.
Could be that it was such a leap forward from 83 NightHawk I had before it.
