looking for a new bike!

[driftingrx5.7]

Ok i was talking to my wife and we agreed that next year i can go get a new bike! i just bought a house in Dec and i am still getting use to owning a home! So i am saving up for a big down payment and looking to stay in the 1000cc range. What bike do you guys think would do a big guy like me?

[Ender81]

R1 lol. More info what kind of bike are you looking for? Cruiser, sport, chopper, touring?

[driftingrx5.7]

come on now you would know better then that! SPORT BIKE MAN, i was thinking about the R1 but my dad is trying to talk me into getting this 07 zx14 they have at the shop but i don't know i want that or not a zx12 would be perfect

[Ender81]

Hahaha yeah I know I just like messing with you. I dig the R1 for the looks and performance but the ZX14 would be a great bike to have.

[driftingrx5.7]

yeah looking at the zx14 now it looks like a lot of bike for me! and i am sure my insurance will look the same :D

[supraghost]

teh zx14 is a big fast bike similar to the busa. if yoru looking for fast, its a good choice, but if you want to have fun in the twisties, i woudl suggest something designed to turn... like the r1 or 1000rr

X2! Although Im a lil disappointed in the looks of the new 1000rr. They say performance wise its a monster.

[driftingrx5.7]

yeah i am still heading towards the new r1. i figure i might as well get a brand new bike since this might be my last sport bike i buy! i am not for the str8 line i like to lean and i love twisties! i am not looking for great power just enough to take my big butt down the road!

yeah the new 1000rr is disgusting. it looks like the copped off of yamaha, kawasaki, and suzuki and combined their worst parts to make the 1000rr. they are really uncomfortable as well.

[driftingrx5.7]

now i have to look up the new 1000rr i have not really looked up pics on it

[driftingrx5.7]

ok the honda cbr 1000rr is not bad looking i really don't like the rear fender/ lic plate holder besides that its not a bad looking bike! it states it handles like a 600 with the power of a 1000! i might have to go look into that!

Forget Jap bikes.. get a well made machine.. and the fastest 1000cc production bike in the world...

So Ive done some research on the 08 1000rr. I have to admit the features and so on are OMG impressive but I still think its ugly. IMO But a bike thats as small and as light as a 600 with 1000 power is going to be crazy.

[driftingrx5.7]

well i am going tomorrow to two bike shops one sells hondas and yamahas, the others sells suzuki and kawi so i will see which i fit better

they had the all cf version at the one bike show i was at. it looked awesome but was still over 400lbs


$100k for a sportbike no thanks.

[driftingrx5.7]

ok so i went today to go look, sat on an 05 cbr 1000rr and i loved it! Sat on a 08 r6 because they didn't have any r1s didn't like it to much but i have to see what the r1 is like. Then i went to suzuki/kawi and they had an 05 zx12 and i loved it! no clue why i did but i did. they even let me test ride it! so i shall see i still don't know if i want the zx12 because i want a new bike! but i did like it

And who the hell do you think makes the engines in the MV agust sportbikes, mv agusta?!?! LOL It's a known fact that suzuki makes the best bike engines for the past 10 years or so.
And the tamburini is not 100k I am pretty sure.
Get a K8
