The Motorcycle Discussion Thread
I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16) Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you: Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel) C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 Last edited by Dayze; 10-29-2016 at 09:02 PM.. |

I'm a big honda guy. They are tanks.
My current rider is a 2002 CBR F4i. I also picked up a 1974 CB750 project bike. I haven't had the chance to crank on it yet but I'm looking to this bike as inspiration... I'd like to upgrade my F4i and get something a bit friendlier on the back but stay in the sporty field with the naked bike, cruisers just aren't my thing. I'm looking at the CB1000R or the Triumph Street/Speed Triple |

Probably can't go wrong with the Yammy (formerly). Of the metrics cruisers I think Yamaha/Star motorcycles are the best.

Had about a dozen bikes, here are stock shots of my favorites;
1985 Suzuki GSX-R750 Air Cooled, 388lbs pure rush During the seventies, I rode this 2 stroke 750 triple and it was a great bike, great times I also rode moto during the sixties & seventies, my 1972 Bultaco 250 Pursang looked like this (note the right foot shift, as I recall it was a backward pattern too -- 1up 3 down) It's been several years since I sold my last bike. I am thinking of getting another one -- 2013 Yamaha VMax looks like fun

Those first Suzukis were mean as shit. I rode an 1986 one about 8 yrs ago. Thing was so unpredictable from a lower standpoint. Which made it so much fun.
The old Honda Hurricanes were slick too

I ride a K6 Gixxer 1000. (on the street, anyways)
Used to do track days but really haven't had the time in last couple years. Off road is a different story. Still manage to tear it up on the mountain trails behind my cabin every other day. As far as bikes I wouldn't mind having in the near future.... I have my sites set on the Ducati Multistrada. |

Hurricanes were great handlers also. bit heavier, but quite capable. I'd love to find another GT750 Triple, that bike was a great traveler and having the two stroke midrange was just pure rush on the highways.
