Anyone have a street bike.....
Was wondering If anyone has one and rides. I am tired of the mid size cruiser I have and want something a little more zippy and easier to move around...Thinking about this....2011 Suzuki Hayabusa.

If you want a FAST zUKI Hayabusa, look for a model from 2000. Those are the real deal.. 250mph easily!! If you want something along the lines of a street bike rather than a sport bike (crotch rocket), take a peek at Yamaha's Roadstar Warrior. All of the new bikes have way too much in the way of governors, so when you hit speeds up near 110-120, they start popping. Who needs that crap from a performance bike... not that you can't get around it. Jimmy |

 We call all motorcycles 'street bikes' other than dirt bikes here.That style you posted we call 'sport bikes' versus the kind Don and I have, which we also call cruisers. Funny how terminology varies according to the region of the country or world we are from! Sorry, I learned on a sport bike, a little 150 cc Ninja- but we have cruisers. I think the sport bikes would kill my back...I don't want to ride leaning forward. That Ducati is hot!

I just want something lighter and faster....Right now I am riding a 95 Honda CB1000 and you do not have that bent over feeling you are talking about. But I know what you are talking about. And I would not want to ride around all day bent over. |

that scares the crap out of me too  .....sport bikes are the types of bikes most people in motorcycle accidents are usually riding.  That Ducati does look a bit like a super moto bike....tall! Comfort sure is a factor when riding long distances...I see guys on the highway riding sport bikes and they just don't look that comfortable! They are built for speed. How about a super-moto? I think they are more comfy for longer rides? |
