What do you have or want? I cant get one for a couple years becasue they scare my mom so as soon as I move out and have my own insurance I want to get a 1998 Buell lightning, I think Its the coolest looking street bike there is, Dont like the newer ones becasue the seat is alot wider than on the 98. and the back end is higher on the 98 so it makes it look better than newer ones.

Once had an '87 Honda CBR 600F1 "Hurricane." It was sweet - handled great and topped out at 140. Lots of motocross bikes before that. Eventually I want to own a classic Harley.

I occasionally ride a Raligh M-40 when the tires aren't flat from the stupid Tucson heat. 18 speed dual-quad power...my roommate has a sweet moped, 2 speed auto.

I had an 85 Honda NIghthawk 650 for about 5 years and rode the snot out of that thing. I didn't have aplace to store it when I moved to Chicago, so i left it at my parents house and eventually sold it to one of my cousins. I still wish I had a bike...... :crying:

What I want: suzuki gsx-r hayabusa... strap a jet engine between your legs, i'd imagine it'd feel like this.
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
