Re: 3 Types of Bike

hmmm.............

sports well, i,ve had a few of these in the past. gsx-r,s , r1 , r6 , "blade" was the best one by a long shot....
( to old now...and i still fancy my license

big trailie had a small triallie !1( dt125r) about 20 odd years ago.. it was crap..

custom/cruiser can you see where this is going children??
always loved chops and customs.. i used to build my own in the 80,s and90,s, a lot off them with "sports" engines as well, the gpz900r lump was magical, as was the old gsx-r 1100 engine.

the harley tho ? best bike i,ve ever owned.

Re: 3 Types of Bike

Sports for me, I'm a speed junkie. I much prefer the banked over pegs scraping the floor feel than the sit up and beg.

Trailies are great fun and I want to get one for a bit of fun but I don't like them as road/commuting bikes. I don't think its right for them.


Custom - never wanted one, don't think I ever will. However I have ridden a couple to test ride for mates without licenses at the time and they are comfortable, much more than the little ncof mine is so I can see the appeal. Also some of them just look amazing. Wouldn't want one but appreciate the work that goes into a full on custom.

Re: 3 Types of Bike

sports: never wanted one (like to prove my skill on more unsuitable machinery) but have a had a fz600 aircooled, currently own cafe racer zx6r (thats crashed and fairing missing if you hadn't guessed) and a gsxr1100m neither of which is my ultimate choice.

custom: sorry but no,no,no,no,no.

supermoto: yes,yes,yes. my favourite type of machine. comfy over all the pothole/whitelines/bumps, handle like a dream round these twisty n.wales roads, boy i just love em, will be having another as soon as the above two bikes have gone.

to be honest i'm such a petrol head it's difficult to choose any perfect bike or car for me. but i've always been one for proving it's not what you got it's how you use it!

i've got corner speed, it's control i struggle with!
