guzziguy Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Try a buell...they handle like a sportbike, but aren't so uncomfortable. And no one needs the speed that GSXRs are designed for. 107 mph @ red line in first gear. You don't need that? To JB: I do think that you'd have more fun on something like a Suzuki SV650S or a Triumph Street Triple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 107 mph @ red line in first gear. You don't need that? To JB: I do think that you'd have more fun on something like a Suzuki SV650S or a Triumph Street Triple. Can't stand how either of them look. EDIT: I missed the S. If I had to settle, it would probably be on the SVS, but then its close enough that I'd just keep my Kat. My lust for a GSXR isn't about its performance. My Katana is plenty fast. My lust is for the entire package. That said, I think I've decided I'm going to keep the Kat for another season or two. From there, I'll decide where to go.

John E Woven Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 you know you want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 you know you want one. This bike is ridden on the street, you avatar wannabe twat. If I was taking a bike of that level, the Honda is among the last choice for me, anyway. I'd much rather have the M1 or XRG1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Fuckit! Laugh if you want, but after seeing these I'm seriously looking at the S50R Rally. The island I live on is full of old, fat farts on scooters, but I'm sure there's room for one more. Black of coarse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 The NSR is a sweet sweet bike. One big change if you got a sport bike would be the weight difference from the Katana. The Kat is one heavy bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 The Kat is one heavy bike. You can say that again. I'm about 90% that I'll keep the Kat for a few more seasons, when I'll be able to afford to keep the Kat, and grab something else fun.

Jeepster Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Wouldnt a Z1000 make a nice commuter? Long as you ditch the stock muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Steve, Search = over. Nate that MadAss is Bad Ass! Where did you dig this up? No shit, that's cool! Edit: Found it. I'd imagine that the 125 would probably do 55 - 60 mph, which would allow me to drive it into the city too.

If it weren't that damn thing called snow up here, we would've definitely sold one of our cars and replaced it with a scooter for my commute (I work only 9 miles away). We actually came pretty close to doing it, as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I had a Honda Elite 150 in the mid 80's. I had it painted Black and had a stereo mounted. It was pretty cool, even if I could only ride it half the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 IIRC, my father had one of those back when we were living in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chekhonte Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 how much is the madass? I think they're sweet too and I've been looking at scooters as well. EDIT: I see that they're about 1600 dollars which seems like a decent price for such a sweet ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I see that they're about 1600 dollars which seems like a decent price for such a sweet ride. I'm seeing about $2,000.00 for the 50cc, and $2,500.00 for the 125cc. Are they available cheaper somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chekhonte Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I read somewhere that the MSRP was 1600 but it does look like that where ever I saw that was wrong. I'm seeing the same prices that you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
