And the worst bike you have ridden was???? - Page 2

z06boy · 10-13-2009, 05:14 PM

Everything I've ridden was decent...at least in it's on way imho.

The bike that I've ridden that I felt most out of place was a Honda Goldwing and it is an incredibly NICE bike...just not what I'm used to riding.

I was also riding 2 up in the NH/Vermont mountains and didn't know the roads and hadn't ridden in over 5 years.

After riding it though it is quite a nice bike...I was surprised how easy it was to ride.

Bikes I've ridden and owned most of them...

Honda Trail 50

Honda Trail 70

88 Kawasaki 600R

94 Honda CBR F2

95 Honda CBR F3

93 Kawasaki ZX 11

98 Kawasaki ZX9R

00 Yamaha R1

07 Yamaha R1

07 Yamaha R6

99 Bigdog Bulldog

Several Harley Sporters and a Dyna Wideglide

05 Hayabusa Turbo

05 Ducati 999R

06 Yamaha R6

98 Yamaha R1

Newer Honda Goldwing but forget the model year

Forgot these two...

08 or 09 Victory Vegas Jackpot

08 or 09 Yamaha (Star) Raider

Probably a few that I can't remember at the moment.

how'd you like that 600r?

z06boy · 10-13-2009, 05:26 PM

Well it was my first bike and I thought it was the chit at the time.

When I look at the current 600's and then look at one of my old pics it is pretty funny to me.

I bought it new in 88.

Oh yeah just thought of two more bikes I've ridden...

08 or 09 Victory Vegas Jackpot

08 or 09 Yamaha (Star) Raider

I liked both of them...for cruisers.

Buell - low redline - with a revlimiter that could kill you, bike sounds like it's falling apart at 5xxxK, uncomfortable to ride, there wasn't one damn thing I liked about it.

Funny... that's almost EVERYTHING I liked about the Buell.

Do you date cripple women as well??

I haven't ridden that many bikes, I never liked my first bike, EX500. It was just slow and heavy. I didn't mind slow as much as heavy and all the weight was on the nose.

The EX 500 feels light as hell though for its heavy weight. Like the SV650s.

I'm gonna say an HD Sportster.

Just got off of one yesterday..
DRZ400 SM....seat like a 2x4; after 45 minutes my butt hurt so bad I had to stop. Had to rev the pi$$ out of it to keep up a moderate pace.

Was fun in the tight stuff....but you're a cripple by the time you get to the fun stuff..........

Rode it about 90 miles ......back, butt and legs are trashed today............torture rack, and slow.....

I've ridden maybe a hundred or so bikes...liked most, really loved a few, hated a couple....

Yzf600r..... for me, the worst ergos on any streetbike, ever, with mediocre performance and the motor buzzed so much it put my hands and feet to sleep...

Suzuki T500...handled stock like a drunken hula dancer.....scared the crap out of me all the time.

Honda dream 305... broke down every other day....bike was posterboy (girl) for FRAGILE...

Laverda Formula 750......... POS, what can I say. The designers were drunk when they designed it, the workers were drunk on cheap Chianti when they built it.............
