What Bike do you ride?

2000 SV650 naked. I ride daily in Chicago, so I need a good city bike that I won't care (too much) about it getting banged up, knocked over by cars parking, or get attract attention for it to be stolen. The SV fits the bill nicely for my current needs.
 
On the road I ride an '05 Kawasaki Vulcan 750, it was a partial gift. A I'll pay half as your Bday present, so I ended up paying $1000 for a pristine bike with 9,000 miles on it. When I first heard Vulcan I was like oh no....the vulcans I'd seen I didnt like but the 750 style is a bit different...and I fell in love. Then I realized it was almost perfect, it stood a bit higher off the road than most cruisers I'd been looking at so I dont scrape pegs when I'm racing my brother on his GSXR, and the tank, bars, and gauges are perfect for my dog to ride on and inbetween.

Off road I ride an '01 Yamaha YZ125 2 stroke. Its been worked on a bit so its a beast, and I hurt myself on it more than I should. Ideally I would rather have a Kawasaki KX 125 or 250 2 stroke...but the YZ is mean enough to keep the adrenaline going :D
 
streetfightered Suzuki sv650s, i fell in love with it the moment i saw it in the add, but after i rode around on it a bit i started looking into supermotos, as we dont have many decent roads to speed on & because i'm poor and dont feel like paying a ton of speeding tickets

so, now i bought a husqvarna TE 610 wich was converted into a supermoto by its previous owner..hooligan starts here and now:))

check my youtube channel for some wheelie learning & other hooligan stuff:D

This is a strange but not unlikable machine, we don't have that model over here, but I can see why you like it. Reminds me of a Victory, do you think that Victory owners where their target market?
Are you going to post up clips of your trip to Sturgis? I would very much like to experience some of that ride. How far is it, and what kind of roads are you riding on?View attachment 906

I do have have a video of my trip, it is on my channel under "My Vacation Video 8-3-2014" Sturgis was about over 900 miles. I only made it to Grand Island, before I had to turn back. I never made it to Sturgis. The windds were too great for me. I had 2 full sized duffel bags and a sleeping bag on it, and the wind was blowing me around something fierce in Nebraska as well as in Missouri. I do plan on going to Sturgis again next year, but I am wanting to get either a motorcycle luggage bag with a sissy bar to reduce the wind resistance, and maybe a motorcycle trailer that I can hook onto the swingarm like mplswoman does to her motorcycle. Check out her channel too for the motorcycle trailer that her hubby makes. That is the trailer I want is on there. I would probably go for a fiberglass trailer.
 
I only ride offroad and I ride a 2007 crf150r with some mods to make it easier for adult riders.
I chose it because I get really bad arm pump and after moving from a 450 to a 250 and then down to the 150 it was the only bike I could ride and actually limit the amount of arm pump I got.

Did you ride the bike super hard or something, ive never got arm pump off any bike, 160bhp 1000s to 20bhp mx bikes

Nah I have compartment syndrome which is basically really bad arm pump in my arms and legs.
I rode a crf450x from when I was 13 and then a few years later got myself a kx250f because it was so much lighter. It wasn't until I'd had that for a year that I started having problems and eventually I got diagnosed. I didn't change my riding style and was never a "all out all the time" rider so it wasn't that either. It's just one of those things I guess. The worst part about it is I know how capable of a rider I am but can only ride about 50-60% most of the time. Incredibly frustrating... Anyway, rant over :)
 
Suzuki shogun sp 2011 , I chose this bike because I like it and the price is not too expensive, but next year i have plan to buy suzuki gsf 400 bandit

If you are interested in this bike Kevin, I wonder if my dealer can send it to you, or talk to you about it. Their phone number is on their website at:http://www.heartlandhonda.com , and talk with Shane there at the dealership, and tell him that you have talked to me. If he sells you one, let me know. They have a variety of bikes there, including the NM4. I am not sure if it is on their site, but if it is not, let them know. I have seen a basic black in that one, while mine, I have seen that comes in a dark blue like what DubbsRider rides on youtube, and then there is the Candy Red color that I have. Both bikes are the Deluxe version, so they have Bluetooth on it, as well as, at least mine has ABS, and Traction Control on it. I bet he can get you set up with one. The roads here have a lot of twisties in them, and the most famous is the Pig Trail, and little famous is the Arkansas Dragon. Compared to the Tail of the Dragon, the Arkansas Dragon is tame. I might consider riding it one of these weekends and video tape it and put it on my channel. I might do that this weekend or next weekend. If you do get a chance to come to the states, let me know or anyone here in the forum. I think there is an Ozark meetup here in Arkansas every year, during Memorial Day Weekend, I think. My Vacation trip video is called "My Vacation Video 8-3-2014" on my channel. If you can, check it out and leave a comment if you want.

fixer upper! Then about 2 months later I got my hands on an 05 R6 and love it!:)
 
Yeah, those are nice bikes rsixmaniac. Have you all noticed that I think there will possibly be an R6 in the Transformers 5 movie? I saw this video, and wanted to share it with you all. Look at frame 1:37-1:38 on it. I can not tell if it is a concept art or if it might be in the movie. What do you all think??? I hope they bring the motorcycle autobots back like they did with Arcee.
