Motorbikes! [+ favourites]

Im more into Motorbikes myself, especially Harleys.

Whats everyones favourite bike?

Mine would have to be a tie between the Honda Valkyrie (original version) or Harley Heritage Softail.

Not all that fast, but theyr'e darn pretty, and very powerful.

I really dont like harleys or cruisers at all for some reason.

I have a Kawi ZX6R sports bike.

It is fast.

Hmm, I can see why some people dont like harleys, but in the end, who is gonna look cooler ?

A big guy with a beard chugging along on a very loud cruiser, or a random Power-Ranger on an overly fast and severely annoyingly sounding Sportsbike that'll probably crash at the next turn ?

Sport bikes sound annoying?

Dude, a sport bike sounds like a ferrari. A harley sounds like a car crash.

I think harley's are all about image whereas sport bikes are also actually about riding.

They are two entirely different beasts too. Racing and just riding are completely different. When your knee is dragging and you're taking a curve at 80 k/hour it's a different feeling.

I personally just dont like the look of cruisers.

And plus.... Sliding the back end out on a racing bike is great fun, dunno if you can do that on a chopper

Almost as fast as my car.

I've wanted a Harley ever since my dad used to drive me around on a chopper with sissy bars and extra long forks....but when talking to a friend of mine about bikes, he convinced me that the manuverability and speed you get with a "crotch rocket", you loose with a Harley which could actually make your reaction time slower with the Harley in an emergency. I think I'm leaning toward the R1 sonner or later.

R1 is a sexy bike. I like the yamaha look much better than the kawasaki. But they are harder to ride and shift too, so I hear.

But that's a fast fucker man... shouldn't be your first bike.

Yeah, that's why I say 'ooner or later' I think I'll try a smaller bike first:

Personally reaction time is all in your proficiency with the motorcycle of choice and your attention to the details around you on the road. Personally would not own anything but a Harley Davidson or a Custom build from Orange County Choppers.
