06 R1 should be very interesting to see... will have to be if it wants to hold against the 05 Gixxer

Gotta stick with the dirt, I've got a little Kawsaki 110 dirt bike which fits me just fine (since I'm a girl) but my boyfriend looks kinda funny on it.
In addition to my VX addiction...worse is my Honda addiction! I have had 5 different Honda's since 85. Started all on a Areo 80 scooter (yes I'll admit it) and then went to a Shadow 500, a Pacific Coast 800, a ST1100 and now a CBR1100XX. Guess I just love the Honda qaulity and reliability. And for over 20 yuears of riding..only one misshap...and that was in Dec 04, self induced. The ol' cold tires too much gas thing! As long as I am vertical not horizontal I am fine!
Hey, sorry I've been out of it for a while. The facility I work at in Portland, and the one I support in Seattle, was purchased by another company... and the transition has been a PITA! Luckily, though, they offered me a job, so I'm ok there.
The Guzzi is SWEET! No, I haven't seen it. I was SERIOUSLY looking at a Guzzi Centauro at one point, as well as a V11 Basa. But when it came down to it, money wise, warranty wise, I ended up buying an '05 Suzuki Boulevard C50. I need to post pics. I've lowered it 2.5", taken off the pillion seat and added a small curved rack... looks nice. I'd like to start "un"-chroming some things and blacking them out... like some blacked-out exhaust pipes I'm modding, the air filter housing, bars and risers.
We'll see. Nice Guzzi!
I ride a 2000 Ducati 996 SPS. The wife, rides as well...her bike is a 2002 Ducati Monster Dark.

I have owned an 82 Suzuki GS850 since 1992. Still ride it, although a little less since I bought the VX.

What's everyone think of the Honda Valkyrie Rune? :-)
That Motoguzzi is FINE!
I think most of you have seen my two bikes. My '97 TL1000s and my lastest edition; The Aprilia RS250. My bike scene began when my oldest brother came home from the Navy in '72. He bought a CL350 Honda; I thought that was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen! He took me for a ride and I was hooked! my first bike was a TT250 Suzuki (2 stroke) which fouled spark plugs continuously! and then had a '74 XL350 street/trail bike which I had a lot of fun on! Then an Ossa 250 trials bike of which I learned a great deal on! Then another XL ,but a 250 which was more fun than the 350!
Believe it or not, but I had a BMW 750! faring, saddlebags, etc. Provided me with a lot of trouble and great expense in spite of what BMW's history.
After that, I got married and all the biking seemed to disappear until about 13 years later when the divorce came about. I met a guy that had a Beautiful Haybusa and I immediately found my first sportbike: a 97 Suzuki Katana, then a 98 GSXR600 (crashed it), got my EX500 race bike and had it until a few months ago when I upgraded to my RS250!
I then had an Aprilia RS50 which was REALLY fun! but had to sell it due to finacial things!
And finally, my 97 Suzuki TL1000s which I dearly love!
I hope one day to have another street/trail bike and a couple more for my daughters! and hopefully my husband! and I would like another RS50 too!
I love motorcycles!

I started on a Yamaha DT250 in 1974. Bought a Suzuki GS-400 in '80 for my fiance. We soon sold the Suzi and bought a '76 KZ-900, which I rode until going overseas in '87. Didn't get another bike until '96 when the wife and I bought a pair of NOS '92 CB750 Nighthawks. I traded my tired Nighthawk for my current ride, a new '2000 CBR-600F4, in Mar 2000, and had a lot of fun racing (errr, riding) with the litre bikes up in the mountains west of here. Late last year I toyed with the idea of upgrading to an '05 Goldwing. But my commute is now 90 miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic and I have little time to ride any more.![]()

For 3 years ('94,'95,'96) I owned a 1980 Harley Davidson Sportster 1000 bored out 30 over during her rebuild by previous owner. Also had a Makuni Carburator and was black & Chrome with Black leather saddle-bags. Picked her up for $2500.00 and put 9K miles on her over the 3 yrs and sold her for $3000.00
