Any Motorcycle owners? what do you ride?
 

I love driving my Boxster but I also love riding my motorcycle.
I currently have a 02' Yamaha R1 tricked out for the track. (Don't like those chromed out rice rockets)
I know Andicati gots some nice Ducatis.
Here are some Pics of my R1, one for the track, one for streets.

Thanks!

I have not ridden a Monster but really like them. I understand the feel of the two bikes are very similar.

If you get one, pls post pix!

Besides driving my boxster I enjoy riding my bike through the Appalachian Mountians in Maryland and Pennsynania. It's a 1987 Super Magna Honda crusier and I would put it against any Harley, except maybe the V-Rod.

I ahve a 2001 suzuki Hayabusa, the Box only has 10 more HP than the Bike. blinding speed

2000 Honda VFR 800Fi
 

I don't know what it is about the sound of a unique engine, but I absolutely love the sound of the gear-driven cams on this V-4 motor!

I also have a VFR. Mine is a 750. Based on your pictures, my resolve to go to yellow is firm! Nice Ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cheers:

SV650 for track and occasional canyon carving...

Second pic should be familiar to all SoCal riders...

NICE!!

Yes, I have a passing familiarity with route!

bikes
 

My motorcycle is a mint condition 1979 Yamaha Special 750 that was purchased brand new in 79 by my father. My father just recently got a brand new Honda Gold Wing that i ride once and a while and it is an amazing machine.

When I'm not in the Box, my roommate and I are carving canyons in SoCal (are you jealous yet? =)

I'm on an '04 GSX-R600, and my roommate is on an '04 GSX-R750.

Good stuff. I was out yesterday in Rancho Sante Fe carving a bit. Took a turn a wee bit too fast and had to back it off very quickly.

Hmmm, spring must be here.

That WAS close!

:cheers:

Morelli, nice bike. you ever go to the Rock Store? maybe i've seen you.
I ride an 2002 R1, you can scroll down all the way and check out the pics of my bike. ride safe.... :cheers:

I love my boxster but nothing beats riding the monster. It's a 1999 M750 with lots of carbon.

I was there two weekends ago...It's about a 15 miles ride from home...

Nice Duc, like the CF stuff.

Air cooled Twins rule!!!!

scoobyrex27, that Monster is SICK!!!!!!!

guess teaching jobs pay better than i thought....hmmm.
i am considering getting one. thinking of selling my R1. i dont take it to the track enough and i want bit more comfort now. again, your bike is one of the nicest ones i've seen.

ps, question, i am so use to the fuel injection. yours is a carb right? my old gixxer was carb and gave me some hesitation. how about yours? and ducati's clutch that stiff? i've heard some bad things about the clucth, only the clutch.

Thanks kajita.

I don't have many bad things to say about this bike. I have not had a problem with the carbs. I run a stage one kit and some beefy wires with iridium plugs and just foam air filter pods (no airbox). Mixture is good and it runs great. Nice sound too!!

This bike does it all and is much nicer to ride around town, more comfortable position than my friends r6.

The clutch can get tiring but I have a smaller front sprocket so it is good at low, parking lot speeds and I will eventually get a new clutch slave cylinder to make it easier.

Best thing about this bike is the sound. It is a tough choice in the morning: Boxster or Monster? :D

Ducs sound nice. TWIN growl I assume!

My one and only bike is a 1968 Triumph Bonneville. Paid $800 for it in 1973, rode it from MN to Nova Scotia in September of that year - no fairing, no electric start. Had no other transportation for a couple of years, then got married, etc. etc. So now it's in long term storage waiting for a cash infusion and some uninterrupted time to rebuild it.
BTW, it could do 0-60 in 5 flat which is what the 987S (which gets delivered this week) is supposed to do, 30 years wait... Gawd, am I old!!

That Bonny is a classic. We need some pix please!

Here's one for you all!

Very cool!

my baby will be missed, got an offer for my 2002 yamaha r1 ($8800.00) and i am selling it.
there are about $8000 worth of upgrades but i got it for free (thank god for sponsors)
so it works out.
hmmmmm......... what should i buy now????
i got my eye on a duc monster.......

That's what I'm talking about!!!
 

Awesome bikes, guys!

I'm new to the board (just got my '02 boxster a couple of nights ago). I totalled my '03 GSX-R1000 street bike a couple of weeks back and the boxster is its (wife-mandated) replacement. Oh well, I still have the green light to hit the track with my f4.

Kajita, sorry to hear about the sale. That bike must've been wicked fast.

I'm going for a "ride" and hittin' the twisties with my motorcycle group (lowaltitudepilots.com) tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up with them in the box. Wish me luck.

BTW, check out my office. Gotta love bikes!

Try a test ride on a Buell XB. I think you might like it.

Good luck!

CR250 Supermotard
 

...work in progress. It's a '97, finally got it through NJ DMV (titled, plated, registered, & insured)...added the baja designs dual sport kit, now just need to get it inspected & I'm off! Attached photo is what I'm aiming for...I have no idea how to get that single swing arm, though.

Buell XB12Scg
 

Just picked-up a black Buell XB12Scg. Still breaking it in.

Great looking bike, enjoy!

I love my Buell XB9S.

Greatest bike I have ever ridden!

:cheers:

..........

Ahhh... The best of both worlds.

Rode my '99 BMW K1200RS to LA from DC last year. It is my "commuter".

2000 Aprilia RSV 1000
 

I love this bike, I have taken it to Laguna Seca three years in a row to check out the AMA, World Superbike and just recently the Moto GP guys. I have a friend that lives in Templeton and we ride up Highway 1 to the races. There is usually 5 or 6 of us riding up Highway 1. Man it is just awesome!!! What a ride!
