Motorcycles

BMWs are the BMWs of the motorcycle world  

haha, I actually forgot about BMW bikes when writing that. I see them a lot in Korea with their giant satchels on the side. The touring ones seem to be a comfortable and sporty ride with lots of pickup and go, but if top speed is what you're interested in, I doubt BWM would be the way to go anyway as their torque is towards the low end (fast start, low top speed). R6's like mine for example have the torque all the way at the top to where you really need to near red-line it to even pop a wheelie but once you get there, you're going 250km/h in 5th gear.

What does everyone else have?

A set of these for a start,
Nothing like that rip-stop skin

Current ride is a Hyosung Aquilva GV650 cruiser, they go under a different name in the US.

Been my daily ride for ~5 years now. For a cruiser, it has a fantastic power to weight ratio plus it can actually brake/turn unlike those brick bike cruisers ---> Harley's

Top speed = 185km/hr whilst laying in superman position, you know the one, lying on the tank with legs out behind

Is it injector or carb? I hate this sound coming from the high pressure fuel pump on my injected GT650R. This sound is especially annoying when you full throttle with empty tank. I think Ill give a try to korean motorcycle one more time but hesitating.

Ducatti's are the BMWs of the motorcycle world-- needlessly over-hyped and over-priced. Plan on doing wheelies? Stoppies? Dropping your bike ever? Riding in a city with cars? My advice would be "don't ride bikes that cost more to fix than they cost used".

I'm on a Suzuki GS500F, looking to move up to a Yamaha FZ6 

Incidentally, I had a Suzuki GSX600F and I'm currently drooling over BMWs (all of them, but most of all the GS Adventure) - they offer unmatched comfort!

I love riding motorbikes on my 12 acres of land, great times

It's a two cylinder engine, 70 horsepower and 200kg wet weight. That would be even OK for a first bike.

Gonna start out on a YZF-R125 next year since winter will most definitely arrive before the time when I get my licence rolls around. Damn you, snow!

[chipug]

i would love a gsx750...one day
