Anyway peoplem, thought I'd try and bring us leather (or textile) clad traffic jam ignoreres together... so what do you ride? Dream Bike? Next Bike?
I may as well go first;

Current: Aprilia RS 50

Dream: Yamaha YZF R1 or Kawasaki ZX 10 but hey I'm open to all superbikes (not a big fan of Suzuki or Aprilia when it comes to big bikes though)

Next: Hopefully either a Kawasaki Z750 or ZX 6R... Not sure which yet

So there we go, maybe I'm the only one on here but hey worth a punt.

Bishop M.

Ps. no mocking choices please :D

Currently got a Triumph T595 Speed Triple. Absolutely lovely bike. Oodles of Torques and lovely handling.

Makes a change from the Vmax I had which was hillarious in a straight line and pant filling round corners.

Next bike is a tough one. Probably go with a 1945 Harley WLA with the clutch on the left foot and a hand gear shift :D

I posted in the other thread, but I don't need much of an excuse to post pics of my bike. :D

I rode motocrossers in my late teens and then gave up MX and didn’t fancy sports bikes. That was until about 6-7 years ago when I did my DAS and got myself a KTM 640 Supermoto which was great but a bit heavy, so I sold it a couple of years later to buy a KTM 525 enduro bike which I can convert to Supermoto spec in about an hour. It's a brilliant bike and so versatile as I have used it for motocross, riding green lanes, road riding and trackdays. The only thing it wont do well is touring as it only does 80 miles to a tank of fuel and the seat seems to be made of wood so I wear cycling shorts under my leathers to prevent monkey butt. The pictures were taken at a wet Cadwell Park trackday.
