Default Lexus Motorcycles??

I wish Lexus made motorcycles.
I just got my permit and would love to say I drive both (aka, like Honda)

What motorcycles do Lexus owners here drive?
My family is partial to Hondas and I like the HD Sportster 1200.

just curious.

Well I don't own a lexus(yet)... But I ride a 85 Kawasaki GPZ750 Turbo. Best time so far is an 11.3@122mph. It will be into the 10's soon, which at my local track is almost Hayabusa speed.

If I were to buy a newer bike it would probably be a Suzuki GSXR1000, I am into the sport bikes. Harley's make no sense to me. slow, unreliable, expensive.... I'll take 2!!! haha.

I was very close to buying one, but then we had my son. Wifey - said no bike, so no fun for me. BUt it would've been a Ducati - probably a 748 or a pre-owned 916.

I'm afraid of those donorcycles/crotch rockets.

I need a more toned down type. I sat on a Honda Shadow Sprirt. Very comfortable.

I would like to get a Motorcycle... If I did get one I would prob get a "crotch rockets" I like the Harleys but they are just not my style, but then again I would be better off not getting a bike because I would prob get hurt... Me and speed don't mix, I love going fast too much
