What Kind Of Motorcycle Do You Ride?

I'm riding a 1999 Kawasaki ZX9R. What a fun bike she is. Would love to upgrade to a ZX14R someday though.

Unfortunately don't have a pic, but she's your pretty standard green/blue. Naked of decals though.

I ride the kind that has 4 wheels and a body and comes with laws that force me to wear a seat belt, even though the vehicle has to comply to a ton of safety requirements just to be sold in the US.
Honestly, I am surprised that they don't make me wear a helmet when I am in it.
Not an anti motorcycle post.... just a how stupid is the government post.

1974 BMW R75 (a 750cc flat-twin/airhead). An old, but very reliable bike that has taken me all over Europe.

Man, that's a good lookin sled. I dig those pipes!

My buddy and I have a few older Suzuki TS bikes we go off roading on. He has a nice 71 250. I have a nice 185 and a rough 250 and a 90 here's my 90 and buddies 250 in hocking hills ohio last summer

Yamaha XS750. Shaft drive, lots of mods.

I have a 2013 BMW c600 and a 2013 Vespa GTS300.

I will be trading in for an MV Agusta Turimo Veloce this spring.

Sold my 2006 CBR 1000RR to fund my business. I miss the bike some, but it did give me a lot of problems.

I've owned a Kawi Ninja 500 (first bike) and a 2000 R1 as well. When I plan to buy another motorcycle i'll probably be going back to a Yamaha R1

Here's my little workhorse. All terrain, all weather, all year. I picked this thing up a couple years ago. What it lacks in speed, it makes up for in versatility. I have the most fun on it in the snow and ice.

I ride a 2008 Kawasaki Concours that Ive put 75,000 miles on. It's been a great bike and I've ridden it all over the country.

My last trip to The tail of the dragon in 2011.

Nice bike you got there, I really like off road bikes I started out on a 1974 Honda SL70 Endro in the end riding a 500cc Yamaha Thumper.

and I've never looked back hahaha

Thanks, I don't ride off road a whole lot and it's just fire roads and easy trails, I am not a hard core off roader.
The bike gets probably 80% street and 20% dirt but it does both well. For 10 years now the bike has been bulletproof and is just built extremely well.

No pictures on this pc but pretty much stiock 07 Electra Glide Classic. Made for and enjoyable on long roads.

I commute daily on my BMW c600 as long as the weather is above freezing (heated seat and grips!). Those that don't ride will never understand the freedom and pleasure you get from riding a motorcycle. It is only on my bike that I actually enjoy commuting to and from the office. Sometimes I find myself taking the long way home.

I rode this one in a WWI battlefront scene.

The Electric bike I ride now is practically the same size and specs.

I ride an Enduro Yamaha xt....off road/on road bike.(dual purpose)
I can go fishing and ride that sucker right up to the shore line.

Just changed the sprocket so it accelerates faster and I get more jump off the start.

I like this bike because unlike a Harley,if i see stuff coming I can jump on to the sidewalk,you can't do that with most street bikes,I actually feel safer knowing I have that option.

Thats my beast right there.
I just had someone try to steal it last week....thankfully I am smart enough to unplug the battery so they couldn't start it.
SUCKERS!!

Here is a vid of my buddy and I.
He drove me home in a sidecar after a night of drunken debauchery,I filmed,he drove.

Cool thread! Lots of cool rides too.

a reply to: DrumsRfun

Those trips are the best! Wish you had gotten some footage of the rig. It looks mean, and a pretty technical build.

Sidecar rigs get scoffed at a lot by the weekend warrior crowd, till I show up with 200 beers, the wife, and lawn-chairs. That's enough to make some see the light.

I have fond memories as a child on my Dads bike and sidecar living in Ireland at the time.
