Default Who here has motorcycle(s) and love to ride more than driving LS
I am curious about LS ownership and motorcycles.
Somehow I am wanting to ride my motorcycle more than my LS.

Post your rides.

I don't ride on the street. I gave up track riding in 2012.
1st bike GSXR 1100 (sold it 3 years ago)
2nd 98 GSXR 750 (parted it out, still have the frame and forks)
3rd Aprilia RSV1000R (collecting dust in the garage)
4th Kawasaki ZX6R (keeping the Aprilia company)
1987 RM125 (why is it in my office?) and a 2003 RM 125

I bought an Aprilia RS125 (first bike) about a month ago, and I've been loving it. Switzerland is an awesome country for motorbiking and the fact that parking is hell here just makes me ride the bike even more for small stuff. Next year I'm definitely going for a Ducati Monster, probably a friend's S2R. I always wanted one

I ride a honda ST1300 more than I drive the ls...also have a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 for running around town. Last year I put about 6000 miles on the ls and about 11000 miles on the bikes. Nothing like cracking the throttle on the ST and hitting a hundred in less than 9 seconds...weeeee

Ride a 09 built gsxr 1000. Clocks 200mph plus and goes 150mph in under 9 seconds. If any of you have a need for speed a built liter bike is your ticket.

I was gonna get an FJR, then decided on the GSXR 1100
FJR's fantastic bikes

I stripped the GSXR and took it to the track.
