And the worst bike you have ridden was???? - Page 8

A chopper. I probably could have gotten used to having no rear suspension, my legs almost straight out in front of me, my butt half a foot off the ground, and the front wheel half a block ahead of me, but the ape-hanger handlebars were laughable. I really don't know how anyone can go around a corner with them.

Worst bike was one of the earlier Katana 600s. It ran like crap and the previous owner put huge Harley like grips on it.

Most disappointing was a 2002 GSXR600. I felt like my 96 F3 had more power (I'm sure technically no) but it felt like it took forever to get into the power.

Seats that are only 6 inches wide are comfortable?

better than the RR's seat... which is 1" THICK. after about 3miles you can feel the ribs of the plastic framing... THAT sucks especially as they're perfectly aligned with the bones in my scrawny ass!

But to be completely honest... I rode for 2.5 hrs and never once thought about the seat other than to note it was much more comfortable than the RR's.

the width didn't bug me too much... as my ass is skinny... so it wasn't like the damn thing was wedge'n up my crack...

I could easily do any of my previous trips again on this bike... even the 5000 mile Indy trip last year... (probably wouldn't loop it either

)

Yea, I liked my DRZ as well but I only used it for trail riding, never as a street bike.

Mr Lefty · 10-18-2009, 01:31 PM

should have know'n you'd had a DRZ too... what fucking bikes haven't you owned!

Eh, I have a scrawny ass too, but I prefer hard seats like that.

The problem with soft seats (like most Suzukis) is that they allow your butt bones to sink down, which puts more pressure on what's in between (your taint/prostate).

I finalize the deal on Monday... but took it for a couple hour ride yesterday. they've got some goodies to put on it

(wish i could do it... but have no way of doing so with it being my only vehicle)
