Fun when your riding them but a hand full. Can't sit on them when your stopped. Wet bikes I really enjoyed, a bike on water.

I've ridden both...sit on type,and stand up type....and they just don't give me the "thrill" that dirtbikes and snowmobiles do.I will say that they are great to cruise around on,on a really hot and humid day,I'd rather ride one of them rather than swim. :-D

I demod many Sea-Doo's but tried a 750 "stand up" back in the early 90's with ZERO sucess, I just could not get the hang of those dam stand ups. I am not a watercraft guy, the Sea Doos while they are fun, get boring after a while.

haha...I'm with ya there Polar.It took me a whole summer before I could even "stay on the full 8 seconds" :?....by the end of the following summer I was lucky,and proud of myself for being able to stay on for a minute(give or take a few seconds).After that,I had enough and got rid of it.If I ever decide to jump on one again(highly unlikely)...I'd be putting on full mx gear...there were many times I could'nt get away from the dam thing when going down/bailing out...elbows and shins took a whoopin :cry:

Oh Yeah really talk'm up guys. I've been thinking that a superjet should be my next Toy. Maybe with a really big 2-smoke motor? Now you go & rain on my "wet" dream. Are they really that bad I know how a 4 wheeler gets boring but...

no,I'm not trying to deter anyone from getting one....they're just not for me,was all I was saying.Like skiing,I have alot of friends that love to ski,I have no interest in it....I'd rather be on a snowmobile.I'm willing to bet that if I got a fast enough jet ski/wave runner,it would be more fun for alot longer.

maybe look into the Kawasaki 300X (250X / 260X are the earlier models) Supercharged 3-seater. I've run the 250 hp and makes me grin every time, a true sport bike style acceleration. There are other brands that work seemingly well too, but Kaws "deep V hull" cuts through the choppy stuff great. Enough rambling, done thread-jacking. (had to put this to rest) :-D
