I like both cars and 2 wheels, i want a Ducati 999 and a Harley or a custom chopper...

Although if i can't get them, a CBR600 will do nicely!

Need to get my bike licence first tho...and persuade mum! lol!

ooo...thats a tough decision! My mind is saying the CBR because it is Honda and therefore uber quick and reliable...but my heart is saying Daytona because its 'British' and has the heritage!

I guess you have the same dilemma!!

Yeh, i will get my licence when i get some money together and some time!

Anyone want to buy a learner SR 125cc, or Honda Bros 400cc? I'm selling those two this summer and perhaps getting an off-roader to repace them.

They're really nice and easy to ride, quite cheap to run bikes, and very understated if you like that kinda thing.

On a side note I've noticed that there aren't as many bikers on the road this summer as there were last year, any ideas why? Maybe its just my area. *shrugs*

I prefer offroad bikes. Nothing like hauling ass out in the bush on a 250 2-stroke in 4th gear when suddenly the powerband kicks in! Hell yeah!

A mate of mine has a death trap on 2 wheels; a 2004 GSX-R1000. It was previously an award winning track race bike. So it has all the extras you could imagine.

Being the nutter he and the rest of my mates are, he does what he's dubbed "road sliding". They jump off their bikes at around 120km/h and while holding on they slide on the road next to their bikes... I've uploaded videos of this onto a hosting site that now won't allow me to access my own friggin account.

But search for "road sliding" at www.zippyvideos.com, maybe you have more luck than I am...

that advert is great!

The bmw rs110 is a great bike, to see and to ride... my dads got a classic Honda 750four too which is nice...

classic bikes are by far the nicest... i'm not to keen on bikes covered in faring either... i like to see the engine! anyone else think that way?

since i saw the longway round i wouldn't mind doing an offroad track. i don;t really like 2-strokes though, i'd rather take to the off road with a BMW GS

I do like naked bikes, but they're not very practical if you're doing lots of high speed riding and you haven't got much wind protection! And yeah I love the looks of classic bikes. Triumph are onto a winner with their modern classics range:



Yummy.

Do you ride yourself?
