Help pick out a motorcycle for [you]!!!

For me, clearly #4, although most of the guys I know have a #1, #5, or #8.

Of course, the Prius will have to be paid for before I can ever put my MC endorsement to good use...

#4 without a doubt.

 

Can't go wrong with a Moto Guzzi, but I'm a Ducati guy. Always have been. Just give me a 999 and I'll be happy forever. Well till I crash anyway.

 

mmm... Nitro Methane...

 

#10...no doubt

 

Where's my Buell Firebolt XB12R? (In Red?)
I bought a 2004 brand new and it was crap. I returned it to the dealer after six months of repair hell.

But, man, it was beautiful.

But Squidy, where's the gas-electric bike???

Just kidding. I'd take the Goldwing any day, but then, I'm currently constrained to the passanger seat. I turned out not to be a very good rider.

 

Yep a #7 suits me just fine. Since it's a classic I probably wouldn't ride it much which is good. I already had a double KP transplant and I'm not ready to give them back just yet. B)

deffinately #6

I had to sell my 400EX over a year ago, I can see where a dual purpose bike could be useful.

StuartS doesn't want a motorcyle! He has a Prius and that meets all his needs.

It seems that Prius Chat is becoming more of a chat forum for non Prius items, maybe it should be renamed Non Prius Chat.

Please cut out some of the crap and keep to the point of the forum, the Prius!

#3 & #10
I had to factor in ins, full coverage, payments, comfort, saftey and looking cool..
Illoked at the crotch-rockets but ins stopped me there, it was 250 a yr for a cruiser 600-? for a speed bike (I did the math)

So I purchased a $13k, 2005 HD RoadKing Ex-police bike w/1000mi on the odo (it was a 1-year lease before I got it..

Ins: $250 a yr full coverage.

Safety: it has anti -lock brakes

Comfort: rides nice, has air ajust ride.

Anoyance: Loud pipes save lives & wake the neighbors at 2 am.. :lol: :lol:

The chicks dig it!

The vespa is another cool bike they have one that will do 80mph, good enough fora daily comute. lol oh yea dont wear a full faced bobble head helmet while riding one of these
If your going for the Prius status thing then the 250 cc vespas for you.


The Indian is the ultamate retro cruiser:


For the Ultamate Motorcycle dont for get The Boss Hoss w/350ci motor.


I had one of these as a kid, it was a 1958 sears all-state scooter that was back in the 80s that thing would fly.. and it looked a hell of a lot better than a MOPED..

Ok last but not least Lets all throw a PITY PARTY for Stuart S, 123 Awwwwwwww. :lol:

If you do not like the non-prius area called FHOP then skip it and stay in the main PRIUS Forums..

 

Tough call, indeed. Nice line up... gotta be # 6

Personally I'd love to own KTM 660 SMC, as I love dirt and unnavigable terrain. When tarmac ends KTM becomes an ultimate machine for traversing through dirt, grit and mud...

For town hopping I'll go for Piaggio 150 Fly or any type of scooter (Vespa etc), one can zoom around town while everybody else sits in traffic or pays hefty parking fees.

I was never personally equipped with a fascination for Harley, I somewhat admire a cultural aspect that surrounds 'Easy Raider' lifestyle.

That thing is sick! An 8.3L engine?! Very nice.

 

I had a bee-yoo-tiful 2001 Honda Shadow ACE 750...in Virginia Tech colors, natch, right off the assembly line. God, I loved that cruiser...sold it when I had my son. I thought that the beauty of biking was decidedly less appealing when thinking of him growing up without a mother because some dumbass stopped short or something...

I miss that bike every day...when he graduates college, I'm buying a Fatboy.

 

I picked #1 because I already have a sportbike, and am going to get another one!

They definately give you the rush of your live. B)

 

I love my Harley Night Train, but it gets worse gas mileage than my Prius, and needs premium gas!

Now that is pure testerone, Mad Max style, did you notice the 278 mph speedo, or how about the intro piece, "TEST DRIVERS WANTED", ... yeah right!
