2fat2fly Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I just picked up my next bike. It's a 1994 ZX7R. It needs a full restoration but the price was right and my wife bought it for me. So you can say I am fat dumb and happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Might have to re-think the ninja1k for a vfr800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Might have to re-think the ninja1k for a vfr800. I'll bet there will be at least few comparisons written about these two. My money is on the Kawasaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'll bet there will be at least few comparisons written about these two. My money is on the Kawasaki. I love honda's and the vfr especially but I'm pretty certain you're right and the Kawi will come out on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler524 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I think the new FZ-09 is about the best bang for the buck out there right now. For under $8k msrp, this would probably be my choice if I bought brand new right now. Edited February 18, 2014 by tyler524 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on the Kawasaki.I agree the 1000 would probably be a better bike but I have a hard on for v4s that sound like small block Chevys with 2" pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'd really like a gen 2 sv , or a dual sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think I'd have to go with a drz450 or something....the ninja 1000 really is the perfect street bike for day rides, cross country trips, track days, and general debauchery.

I'd probably dump my Tuono for one if that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakemono Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 CBR600RR. I might consider a CBR500R or even a CB500F but I kind of feel like If Im not going to get my dream bike, why not just keep the 250? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thinking about ditching the ninja for a triumph speedmaster. With the little booger around I dont see myself making it down to soughern ohio much in the next 5-6 years at least and im sure ill be slowing downa bit so nomreason to have a sporty bike I wont use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Picking up a new 2013 Ninja 1000 at Kennedy's tomorrow. I was going to get a new Super Duke but the more I thought about it the less sense it made. Keeping the 1000rr. Selling the 250r. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Love the new Ninja 1K. Looks like it would make a killer ST machine. Lately tho, I've been jonesin' for a late model Multistrada. Same idea as my WeeStrom, but more HP with less weight and orders-of-magnitude better suspension. There are several on local CL recently--none of them screaming deals--and I just haven't been able to bring myself to pony up the cash for a bike that has known QC issues like tank swelling, rear brake, and electronic glitches in the new e-suspension. But in a perfect world, where I had unlimited funds and garage space…... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_c_F Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hopefully, by the time I run this FZ into the ground, I'll have saved up enough for the S1000F, the sport-touring version of the S1000RR that BMW is designing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Congrats jschaf! For some reason I've been admiring the look of the 70s and 80s BMW twins. I love the styling of old bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm still wouldn't mind getting my hands on a 1990 VTR250. Any year grey market gsxr 250 or CBR 250RR would be cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCryan1988 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Really been eyein' an icy white Ducati Panigale myself - so sexy... But, as far as I can tell on the duc website, they aren't offering the 1199 in white this year?!...
