yeah i know what you mean bout the the upgrading process, the 2005 R6 was my first bike so we was together for about 3 years and she was all i knew. i was so use to the bike i thought to myself there is no need for me to upgrade, i guess i got stuck in my ways. Yamaha only offer the R6 and the R1 i always thought about taking that jump to the "1" but to be honest with you im kinda scared. because i got outta trouble a few times just because that throttle was pretty forgiving. Besides i already fell once and thats not a good feeling. imagine just from putting ur butt on a toliet seat

 

[QUOTE=Slow_Sc3;5357417]My 2006 cbr 600rr


thats my first time ever seeing that, im use to the Repsol version

 

yeah! he even forgot kawasaki; he got 3 of the big 4....

 

My 2001 F4i.

 

I gave it up over 15 years ago, took up convertible sports cars as replacement toys. 2 years ago a close family member was killed while riding, the car driver was found guilty of manslaughter.

I rode Yamaha and Honda motorcycles back then.

 

Though the average biker on CL is probably very careful and knows what he/she is doing (especially PhilipMSPT), my late uncle, who was a surgeon and made his living patching people up, once told me that there were four things that regularly kept him in buisness......motorcycles, skateboards, chain-saws, and power-lawn mowers.

 

Been a motorcycle rider since I was a pre-teen, so about 35 years now.

Started riding on dirt bikes and an old Trident of my uncle's (don't know the year, 'old' would suffice).

Sold my last dedicated 'street' bike a bit back (Kawasaki Concourse Touring bike), though I have had many bikes down through the years (VFRs and CBRs, mostly).

Currently, the only 'streetable' bike I have is a dual-sport used principally for trail riding (KLR-250D). My passion is dual-sport riding and for that I use my '03 Kawasaki KLX-300. Its getting a bit long in the tooth, but still runs like a champ.

 

999R I think? And a 750 I think... they looked the same but ones faster... I'm not 100% on that it was about a year ago.
Red of course lol. Oh I did see a white one in the showroom

 

Yea I'm sorry I like the ninja to I suck I wish I could add but I don't think I can

 

I like the 999R. Too bad that for some reason, it didn't sell well (the design was a bit too futuristic for some, but exotic rockets should be).

White Ducs such as the 848/1198 are becoming more popular. Ducati is making a lot of pearl white bikes, and I would like a pearl white Multistrada in the near future.



Ninjas are nice bikes. They're light and super easy to control. Smaller displacement bikes = easier wheelies.

 

I think that is the white one I was lookin at... maybe the one I was lookin at had a red stripe??? its been a while... the sevices on ducati's are like 1k? Is this true? That's kinda why I didn't get one... oh and they are double the price of mines... very nice though. If I had a ton of monry I would of got a ducati no question... but I don't so I coulndnt

 

Service isn't that bad compared to Japanese bikes.

Regular maintenance such as oil change is about the same.

However, for Ducati, most bikes need valve maintenance every 7500 miles, which is about $200 to inspect, and another $300 if it does need an adjustment (if it's out of spec). So if you need a valve adjustment with regular maintenance (oil change) at 7500 miles, it can cost around $700-800.



And you said you saw a red/white striped 999R?

 

Been riding since I was 10 y/o, so that's almost 30 years now.

Ridden or owned all sorts of things in that time. Dirtbikes, cruisers, sportbikes, tourers, you name it.

My current bikes:

2003 Kawi MeanStreak - Hard Krome 3" Staggered Straights, Thunder Mfg. Tornado intake, TechFlusion TFi fuel controller, Progressive shocks and fork springs.


1990 Kawi ZX-10 - Sotck except for the jet kit and Corbin seat. Makes a great sport-tourer, and still gets up and goes for a 20 year old bike.


2004 Honda 599 - Actually my wife's, but she doesn't ride anymore since we got the baby. Great bike, just physically too small for my 6'2" frame. It's for sale BTW


And of course, to show my dedication to riding

 

Nice tat and bike jaseman... I love my motorcycle but not that much lol... looks goodthough and expensive

The ducati I saw was white with a small red stripe. Ill see if I can find a pic when I get home and post it up ... it was at a shop in san rafeal ca. Right off of 101
