How many liter riders actually have a liter in their bike though? Most have like 999 or 998. Ya'll just ain't got a true liter. I got over a liter, so suck it bitches.

I'm guessing like me. He never asked or knew anything abt it. I did know many beemers hv suspension settings but didn't know they had retard settings too.

How come is it we always end up talking penis size, i mean, displacement? Most of the riding I do could be done well by a Ninja 500. Like Cutty my ZX6R has toured with, carved with, and embarrassed literbikes either out of their element or poorly ridden. I remember my SV650 hounding GSXR 1Ks and 750s at the track only to be gobbled up mercilessy by 125 strokers. Even my 636 was no match for a well ridden and set up TZ.
There is no perfect displacement, only the right tool for the job. As for the Ape V the Beemer, its obviously fire and Ice, Midnight blue and cherry red. Question is how do you like to ride? if passionate, focused seduction is your bag get the Aprilia. if cold digital precision and efficient velocity is your thing get the BMW...

I've passed a gixxer 1000 on a Rebel 250 at the gap. The rider was not happy. LOL

Not happy that he was on a Rebel 250? That would be motivation for devil may care aggression...

I was on psychochild's rebel 250 trying it out at the gap. I came up on a gixxer 1000. He would gun it in the straights to keep me behind him. We came up to a particularily tight section of the gap that I know well because it's my favorite section. I used it as an opportunity to out brake him into a corner and pass him. He came screaming around me when we got to local straight, but by then, the damage was done, he got passed by a 250 cruiser.
