Thought I would create a thread for those cool shots and videos of bikes. Feel free to post yours.
Here is Valentino Rossi trying the new 2012 Ducati Moto GP bike at Sepang. Love the slide he is getting into the corner.

Next bike will probably be an FZR. almost bought one instead of the GS, but the guy sold it before I could come look at it. (http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/attachments/bikes-sale/87379d1150753531-fs-ia-1996-fzr-600-6kmiles-3400-dscn0525.jpg)

I would literally give my liver up for that bike.
Maybe a lung.
Why don't we get cool bikes in the USA? :dunno_black:
Suzuki RG-125 :thumb:
This is one cool looking 125cc bike! I'd love to have one of these. Not engineered at all like we expect for a 125cc bike.

the 1992 model weighed 270lbs, but had 33 HP? !! !!!
Thats a better power/weight ratio than the gs500!

I'd love a 450 super single. Dirt bikes turned into streetbikes. You could get something with 50-60hp and still probably only 250-70lbs. I'm not sure how much weight that bodywork ads.

You have one of those too?! I love that little effer! So much fun to ride. My dad took his test when he was in college on one of those, rode the damn thing to and from the test. The instructor just shook his head and laughed :D

I've got mirrors like that on my GS. I guess that, in a way, Taarna is now part of this thread. :woohoo:

Are they the ones with the blue tinted mirrors? I looked at a set and ended up getting the emgos instead. How do you like them?

I like them better than any other mirrors I've used (stock F model, stalk mounted integral indicator ones, and Napoleon knock-offs). Despite being the smallest in size, they've been most resistant to vibrations and accidental adjustments, making them the most useful. They're also the best looking ones that I've used imo.
Nice photos Fraze. A few will make good wallpapers :thumb:
I have hundreds :thumb: If you want the 1920x raw copies of any PM me....

Not the best color for an SV650 but it does look different, I'll give it that.

Don't worry dude. I wear them and figure they may not be as good as full boots they are still 100 times better than sneakers and just as comfy.
For fans of Moto GP. Some awesome slow mo shots. Very relaxing to watch.

I was going to buy some but then I got a banging deal on some Alpinestar Octanes. They're definitely sweet shoes!
