I love my 04 Honda CBR 1000, I'd argue with anyone that year run of 04-07 were the best looking bikes LOL.... I do agree with whoever said, typically the newer the bike the better overall package it presents. I don't like where a lot of the newer bikes are headed looks wise and that they are losing what little practical features they had.

In second place is my wife's Ninja 500, it's blue and I just love the look of hers not to mention I can lay it sidewayz on any curve known to man

Here she is. The first shot is what she looked like a few years back. The guy who owned it before me did not take good care of it and crashed it a few times, so I'm trying to return it to the kind of shape it was in in that first pic.

The second picture is of me riding it during a sportbike riding demonstration thing we did over here. The third shot shows a little better some of the cracks and whatnot in the plastics.

I do too. Once I sort the suspension and pretty it up a bit it will likely be my favorite. With a decent suspension setup, I really believe that it'll be a brilliant bike.

It's gonna be my RC. IMO it's more comfortable on longer rides than my VTX (surprisingly), it's more stable in a turn than the R6 that I rode. The thing really does feel bullet proof, almost like it would take a Mac truck to unsettle it when leaned over.

Most fun street bike? Easily the Hypermotard S. That bike is so fun it should be illegal!

Still, there's nothing like having the 1098 at apex and rolling on the gas. The sound of that pure-bred twin coming to life as it pulls from 5000 rpms is like nothing else. The feeling you get as the torque accelerates you so damn hard you have to hang on for dear life is unreal. There are several times when I've thought "this thing should be spinning the rear right now, but it's still hooking up..." That bike is so at home at full lean that you almost have time to check out the scenery.

Funnest to date but sold was my FZ1. Comming soon I hope is my 2009 Vmax. That thing is going to be a blast.
