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.

I've also owned many,many bikes over the years but I would say that my '88 V-Max is by far my favorite bike. For that time,it could hardly be touched and it FORCED me to learn how to handle "panic" situations and throttle control!

I have had a truck load and they are all good in their day but kept getting better....so that being said, I guess my last new bike was the best....2006 GSXR 750
