Hooray a motorcycle thread! I've been on two wheels in some form or another for about 22 years now and I've met tons of different riders and logged a ton of miles (1150 miles in 16 hours on my '07 GSXR twice in a week back in September 2010 for example) both on and off road. Just like anything else you're gonna meet some really cool people and some people you'd rather stay far, far away from. I suggest to those saying "all Harley guys" or "all sport bike guys" try taking things on a case by case basis and I'm sure you'll make some friends along the way! I'm mostly a sportbike guy but I don't discriminate if it's a nice bike. Dave, I'm not a Harley dude really but that's a good looking bike and I envy the amount of miles you get to ride!!! I don't get out nearly as much as I should.. Here's a picture of my baby, a 2006 Yamaha R1 50th anniversary edition with quite a few extras!
Now to the original topic, I'm not a huge fan of that truck. The wheels and the grille seem a little over the top for my tastes but I do like the hood from what I can see of it!

I wouldn't lose my license….I'd probably end up killing myself!!!.... always liked the Yamaha sport bikes.....nice bike BTW
Thanks! It's funny you mention a ZX-14 because I've been having a pretty strong desire lately to pick one up as my "cruiser" lol
I guess it could be a cruiser, haha, I do believe there's a 1/2 power mode you can enable on the dash that cuts your power in half. Believe me, even at 1/2 power you can get around town and break a lot of laws in the process. But at full power and a full throttle, you could easily die on that thing if you aren't ready for it The front will come up instantly.

When I was just a pup, I bought a 1991 Honda f2 that bike was the bike of the year. Then I bought an F4i first with fuel injection. Hated it.. the throttle was on or off. Then I bought a 98 VFR. That was a good unique bike.
THEN I SAT ON a R6 and I was livid..!!
The Yamaha fit me like it was made for me. So mad I rode Honda's all those years uncomfortable before that.
I miss the thrill of a sport bike but my wrists, back, and pretty much my entire body can't ride in the position anymore.
I would like to buy a Triumph Street Cup, but I gotta have more than 55 HP to get me to drop ten grand.
She's a looker, no doubt. I'd be bored silly in a week tho.
