K5 ( it would have to be blue and white for me though) Raced an 03 RSVR for a season but I cant say as I gelled with it. Loved it to look at and the brakes were the best of any bike I've ever ridden. Being a taller fella I've always fancied an RC8 but cant say as I've ever ridden one.
I have to say that under our current global circumstances I'd have to go with the GSXR-1000K5. I was a little bit on the fence with my vote but I'm also happy to live an hour from the Mexican border and I love beer. "Corona Bike" it is. They are all darned sweet though, Billy!
Hard to choose between a Suzuki Sciatica, a BuMW, a Honda Hernia, a Yamaha Rse1 etc. None of them have geriatrics in their marketing segment. Experience has long taught me my preferred bike is always the one I haven’t got.
I picked the KTM even though I've never ridden an 1190 but I have been on a 990 Super Duke and it was pretty nippy. The riding position felt like being on a space hopper. I found the Mille a bit too hard and track prepped for weekend road blasting. Lovely bike to look at, maybe have a quick ride but like Pamela Anderson or Jennifer Lopez, I wouldn't want one to live with. Never ridden a Gixxer 1000 but would dearly like to because of all the good things I've heard others say about it. A K8 is affordable for me now but sadly my body tells me that it doesn't want to be held up on my wrists any longer. Tried an S1000R last night, much more like it. Tonnes of power, comfy position and great handling - along with some snazzy features.
yes loved that bike got a cross plane r1 now fantastic bike but the early ones had character and just as fast on the road
Always regretted selling this, my first litre sportsbike. Be considered a sports-tourer these days though, just like my 955i Daytona. But as 'sports-tourer' = 'can ride it for an hour before starting to get uncomfortable', I can live with that DS
These still look stylish to my eye. One that passed me by though as I was riding fire blades and then found my love for L-twins. There were other Ducati's but this was my favourite
Only one I’ve ridden and owned was an -07 factory Mille, great bike but I voted K5, I always thought that bike just looked right. Like the way I felt about my cbr929, I already knew before I ever rode it that I was going to love it.
