This could end in a flame war....lol
Sports...
I never really intended to get a sports bike, until buying the Laverda, I had nothing similar. As anyone who has met me will know I ain't exactly built for a pocket rocket!! And then not doing it by half I pick something which has no compromise..As a toy it's great, but it needs lots and lots of tlc, and is tiny, uncomfortable and a nightmare in town... but grin factor 11 when out on the open road... can't wait till she is back.
traditional/commuter
Most of the bikes I have owned or ridden have fallen into this category. I had a silver xj600 which I used everyday for years, for every purpose, which only went coz the Mrs insisted on a car when firstborn came along (although she was still on the back at 6 months gone)... I will be buying something in this group when the Fazer has to go back to the insurance, as a workhorse.. (anyone know of a 600/4 in this style for a grand then pm me)..
If i ruled the world then once anyone passed DAS then a couple of years hacking around on a 10 yo 400 bandit would be compulsory..
Custom/cruiser...
Sorry to all you out there that ride customs but sorry your all wrong wrong wrong
well for riding the north wales twisties anyway.
I have only ridden one once, a friends VN800 intruder..and whilst it's prolly a bit unfair to generalize It was horrible..maybe in another 30 years..
but to me handling is the most important factor and you can't argue with geometry.. Sorry but scud did ask
Sorry no offense meant
