What Do You Ride?

[SkyHi_33]

Was kinda bored and since i saw a fair few people here have mentioned riding motorbikes and what not, I thought I'd start a thread and see what sort of bikes people ride seeing as its summer and the weather has been awesome for riding...

licence:

years riding:

bike:

other:

PIC!!!

To get the ball rolling here is mine,

licence: L's

years riding: 1yr 2mnths (i should really go for p's huh?)

bike: honda cbr250r

other: lots of custom stuff...

You either love it or hate it, I'm in the middle as i only did the camo so it'll appeal to a younger person when I sell it, and it is something different I guess... next bike is definitely gonna be a combination of black and matte black all round.

Now lets see what you like between your knees?

Honda CBR250R "baby blade"

Kawasaki ZXR250 "baby ninja"

They're good bikes if you like the sporty looking models. You'll need to apply to sit thru the learners course thru Transport SA/Services SA.

And for God's sake, get some decent protective clothing if you're going to be riding. I'm seeing endless twats this summer in nothing but t-shirts and shorts

spent shitloads on the Fireblade. was a road rego'd superbike

Spent shit loads on my TLR. I stopped counting the $ long ago. The exhaust system alone was $3K for titanium Yoshimura race system! Nearly $3K for the brake upgrade! Suspension? ... won't go there.

I've spent $2K for the Ohlins shock on the Brutale, and a further $2K in carbon and crash protection.

Brutale will be up for sale next month. Anyone got $18K to spend? I'm basically getting nothing back on the upgrades/mods.
