Hi, my name is Marc. Live in a small old town in Belgium (you know where Brussels is the capital

) called Lier. And me and the wife are planning to spend some vacation in Playa Del Carmen, mid february

You will love Playa! I see the front end of a motorcycle for your avatar....what kind of bike do you ride? I ride a 2004 Kawasaki ZX10r (sportbike).

Strommax · 12-30-2007

Hey U2girlie, mine's a Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom. It's a trail bike which a use daily to go to work, summer

and winter

Most likely will buy me end next year the new Buell 1125R or the Hayabusa, don't know yet

ZX10R wow that's more than nice. I just read that it is the fastest accelerating bike on the market

Respect

It's a really sweet bike. I love her. She was my husband's before she was mine. I started on a 2002 Ducati Monster 620 dark. That was a PERFECT bike for a beginner. I'm only a few inches above 5 feet so I could touch no problem on the monster. On the Kawai, I am very, very tippy toe but I am also very comfortable with it because I feel like my riding is right where it needs to be to handle a bike that big. It's a VERY fast bike. (It can do 104mph in first gear!) However, she's also very smooth and I can accelerate as fast or slow as I want. Next step for me is to take a road racing school. Want to be better in the corners and that's the only way to learn -- in a safe, controlled environment.
The trail bikes are very cool...but waaay too tall for me. My friend has a Duke and I can't even come close to even touching the ground! I love the BMWs too!
