I voted for the superchicken.
Of the 4 it is the best real world bike. The other 3 are good for pozers and the race track and not anything else.
Honda finish, big twin engine, and you can get new or slightly used ones for dirt cheap.

I think he will be so emaciated from his "diet" he wont be able to get out of bed let alone hold onto a bike so he doesnt blow off!

I voted SuperHawk because its a sweet bike and I've never heard a better sounding bike  :mrgreen:.  The big twin with the gear drive whine is orgasmic

I couldnt care less....j/k.

gsxr-1k? R1?
John's already gone that route with the gsxr-600 and he's too old and wobbly to handle the 'extreme' riding position.

zx-10r?
Same as above + they're going to be so fashionable in the next couple years and JOhn's already gone that route with the Z1000...and look what happened there.

I agree the superchicken is the way to go. John already had a v-twin in the form of an sv650 and liked it except for being underpowered. Make that a liter then! Although it'll get half the gas mileage, even with the larger tank on the 03.

If I were ready for a liter the superchicken is my first (affordable) choice, for me anyway.

i chose the R1. thats a sweet bike but probably hell to be able to stay on it.
Title: Honda Reflex
Post by: fuzzymemory on October 17, 2003, 10:04:53 AM
It's comfy and has enough power to get on the highway.  If not the reflex, then the silver wing for carving up the twisties.

What? No votes for the Benelli? (http://www.tornadobenelli.com/html/galleri.htm)

Or an MV Agusta :)

One of those will put you so broke you won't have to worry about buying anything else ever again ;)

Nothing exotic for me.  I want something that can go 15k miles without a valve adjustment and is somewhat cheap to fix..
