Howie, I got somethin for ya...

I am so happy that you bit that hook...She knows how I feel about her. I care so much I even shave her back for her in the summertime. She loses about 30 pounds of back hair and smells sooo much better. Plus the thickness of the hair is gone so it looks like she lost even more weight.

 
My favorites are old Triumphs. These two, in particular, as they were the first 2 bikes I ever had (and still do).

And you can say these aren't "Sportbikes" but in their day, they were :) And the Trident 750 especially. That thing sounds like a race car.

Here is a sexy sportbike for Niehart:

Unless you guys make a hell of alot more money than I do, you can't afford the maintenance costs if you ride one like this. They are a single purpose machine and the initial purchase price is nothing compared to the long term lease. You don't ever own it, you just rent it. The worst of it is the lack of trade in value. When you get rid of it, even if it looks better than when you got it, it will cost you to part with it. Installing accessories may be fun but you don't get that money back either.
are you talking about the bike or the model?

The model of course! I didn't realize at first there was a bike in the picture. You can always scrape together money for a good motorcycle, but it's almost impossible to ever have enough money to maintain a woman like that.

 
I dunno, that one looks like it could get me into all kinds of trouble. :D

My point exactly! And all of the different kinds of trouble will eventually consolidate into financial trouble. My problem now is that it would be like walking into a Ferarri dealership and asking for a test drive. I don't have the, ummmh collateral, if you will, to be worthy.

 
Well,

I'm proud to say, I own every bike I ever wanted.

I've got me a 2011 GSX R750, here she's:

8091018815_db8b8d845d.jpg


Ever since Suzuki came out with the GSX R in the early 80's, I wanted that bike, had to be the 750 though. My wife calls her the speed daemon :lol: well I entered the 160+ club with her, that's was a given, much to my wife's regret.

This bike is just wow, to be honest, I haven't had the chance to truly feel her pulse, because you either run out of available roadway or you risk to be in jail, she will get you in trouble.

What I like, you've got two presets on the ECU, actually three, without she's plainly a bitch, setting A makes her nasty, setting B all of the above together. I've had her in the 3rd not redlined yet at 130 mph and ran out of roadway, since I couldn't determine, whether a cop would be lurking around or not, I had to let off the throttle..... Well I was deaf, since my wife yelled the heck out of her through the intercom and for a brief moment lost connection with her, as I was getting out of range. You have the ability to lean her as low as 48 - 51 degrees, the highest so far for me, which frankly got me off guard.

Being 6'4" tall, I had to buy me adjustable rear sets so I could actually ride this girl, else no dice, I'd cramp up in no time.

Compared to the FJR... there's no comparison period. Both rule their turf end of story. I love my FJR to death, she gets me everything I want from a bike and more, I can do things with her, I just can't with my GIXXER. Sure she ain't as fast as the GIXXER running up the mph's, but I found it very impressive how she gets the horses on the road, she is strong, very strong, but she ain't nasty. I need my FJR to giddyup and go and she can do that. My Gixxer is super sexy but is a far cry on the qualities my FJR gives me. Since I couldn't and wouldn't decide, I've got me both. Adding my Suzuki C90T when I do my Patriot Guard Rider missions to the stable. Now I truly have all the bikes I ever wanted and I'm as happy as one can be.

I know the C90 ain't a sports bike, but she is part of my stable and so here ya have it!!!

 
Since this thread came to the top today, I just read through it from the beginning. Comments on some previous entries (the ones with bikes in them)


Is it just me? Or does that bike look like a dog with a big boner? :unsure:

My buddy Fab's 749 (I think.. maybe it's an 848?)

Oh Jeeze!! :eek: Too bad about the paint there. Way to ruin an otherwise beautiful bike.

Fast? No doubt. But attractive?

Looks like Kawasaki stole their styling theme from the old Ferrari Testarossa. I didn't really find it all that appealing back then.

And they have carried that stuff into the Concours as well...

Oooh!! Ahhh!! Yes, now we're getting somewhere.

"FJR, I am you're Father"
Why did these fail so quickly? Anyone ever ride one? Was it the front end that was such a quick failure, or just bad sales? I actually passed one For Sale on the side of a country road recently and was tempted to go talk the owner up.

And now after all of the critical remarks... My nomination for the sexiest sport bike almost built:

Too bad Bernard Li died before the rebirth of Vincent could be completed.

Do you ever let her shoes touch the ground?
Yep, I do, but as soon as I'm back at the eagle's nest (my garage) every bike gets lifted.... well my FJR goes on to the center stand, the GIXXER on those lifts and my C90 on a ATV lift.......

 
I'd have to agree the Panagale is dead sexy looking. :wub:

But being an "American" (not Italian) sized guys, I just can't get around how painful it would be to ride it for more than about an hour. :blink:

The Panigale actually fits me better and is more comfortable to ride than the Gixxer, except for slow, around town jaunts.

Aha, but for 20 minutes on with 40 minutes off....it would be amazing.
