82 Suzuki GS650GL and an 84 GS1150(The Hayabusa's Grandaddy)

The 1150 is for the crotch rocket riders when my 20 year old bike takes their lunch money and makes them cry, the GL is for cruisin.

it's amazing how many 600/750 crotch riders think they can take an old air cooled bike just because it's old and air cooled. before you try it, kids, look at what model holds ALL the drag bike records for the last 20 years..... there is a reason for this.

yesterday I took a ride on my brothers Turbo Hayabusa...OH MY GOD

I owned an R-1 about 2 years ago, and there was absolutely noo comparison...I only really hit the accel. hard about twice, but that was plenty. the stock suspension isn't the best for handling I might add...riding on that much power, you'd think my bro would have hit the suspension before throwing a turbo on...lol it was an amazing bike

Default Who rides street bikes

Started riding the streets on a little yellow Yamaha Chappy when I was just 11 years old. Got my first street bike, 1974 Honda 400, when I was 14 years old. When I was in high school I drive a pretty sweet 1972 El Camino but more often I rode my dad's Yamaha Virago 750 because the chicks dug it. I gave lots of rides home (without the daddy's knowing)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. I've also owned a 1978 CB 750, 1986 Nighthawk 700, 1987 FZR 750, 1989 FJ 1200. Sadly, I haven't owned one for a while...wife[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img].

Most impressive bikes I've gotten saddle time on...Hayabusa, R1, and a 70's Kawi triple 750[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I had a 96 gsxr750, I decided to give it up after I parked it under a car. I didn't have any experience at all riding streetbikes, so I thought it would be best if I got rid before I had a serious accident.

Still tossing this one around till next spring.

if i had to let one go it would be the quad. i had to give up dirt bikes because of my back and the ds is a lot easier on but i don't think i could evr give up my street bikes.
