Got a '99 Suzuki Bandit 1200 purchased new. Currently has 47k miles on it and I've ridden it through about 23 states.

Honda Elite '10 - 108cc; I refer to it as my Hogette and use it for errands and short runs around the neighborhood in nice weather. Great fun.

It's always the rider. It's all about how much of a risk ur willin to take u would of beat me on my 1000 if u ride hard. I'm more of the cautious rider. I probably should of bought a 750 but I didn't wanna go through the upgrading process

Horrible poll. No Italians.


Here in SoCal, Allen K, Brian (scalum1994), and I are riding buddies. Here we are test riding a bunch of bikes during a local motorcycle show:

And how about a video of me riding? Phil on a Duc
