Gas Prices - New Road Bike!
GDubb:
Oh, one more thing.... just so you guys dont think I'm rice bashing...
As far as rice rockets go... Id be happy on any of them... YFZ, CBR, ZX, GSXR... they're all bada$$ and fast as hell. The cruisers are just a whole other story for me.

You like American... I'm more of the Italian persuasion. Those Japanese road rockets are sorted now days. They are just too fast tho.... The local Honda outfit down here had a demo day a while back. So the boys rocked on up for a taste of thier best whares. One of the lads jumped on a CBR1100xx and proceded to wheelstand all the way down the main hiway away from the shop and most of the way round what is now refered to as the Honda test track. A 18 kilometer assortment of hairpins, rolling humps which taken at any serious speed will launch bike and rider through the air no probs, and some nice highish speed corners as well as some good fast straights.
I threw the leg over the latest fireblade. Weapon!!!! FAST+ 250 kms clicked into top gear! Also handling to match. Very sharp. Exellent big beefy brakes. Top package as most of thier offerings were. The only thing lacking is character. Thats where your H-Ds and the like gain thier popularity. You've gotta have the whole pacckage.
$0.02 worth.

Well I understand about the Harley guys! Like I said there is only one motorcycle dealer in El Paso, that is to say I will only do business with one!

--- Quote from: Timbowe ---Demo I used to own an Italjet Dragster 180. Had a few small mods done including a very nice tuned length Arrow expansion chamber with cabon fibre stinger silencer. I used to have great pleasure in blowing off Hardly Dangerous's and the like through the twisties round here. Took it to a few rallies and would sneak up behind people on thier big ol cruisers, they would see me comming and gas it. Cant be passed by a scooter!! But through the twisties They were no problem to catch up on. And slip past on the tightest corner.
That thing was fast up to 60 mph after that not much left. So on the straights vrooom past again. Great fun.

Now yer talking, I have heard that those Italjet Dragsters are pretty sharp off the mark and as they don't weigh much they should be rapid round the corners also.

Alan, only thing that will make that bike better is a T-shirt that says on the back, If you can read this my chick fell off!
