Whats Your Favorite Croch Rocket?
Triumph Daytona 955i or Ducati Supersport 1000DS. Just love the look and sound of either of those bikes. Everyone and his dog already has a Japanese bike.
Or of course you could get the Benelli Tornado Tre and be really unique:

hehe, got passed by one of those little Yamaha 50cc streetbikes last night. Cruisin' down the main drag here in town
Dude riding it looked like he hadn't missed any meals or missed a workout at the gym in a long time.

RC51 - With aftermarket cans this thing sounds awesome! Very few around
Speed Triple - Looks cool, cool engine, very few out there.
I almost bought the Speed Triple. But with where I live the drivers are so bad I knew someone would kill me sooner rather than later. I mean, if 5 people in 5 years ran into my bright blue Camaro, how long would it take for one of these clowns to hit me on a bike? My car's as fast as either of them anyway!!

Then I got the mother of all bikes, the RC51. Damn! That thing was not of this planet! Had an Akropovic exhaust set on that one. One time, I followed a friend in his car to a restaurant and he said that his chest would shake when I decelerated. It was just unbelievable on the track (I kept it sane in the streets). Then some ******* in a Town Car swerved to make his freeway exit (or so I'm told. I don't remember a thing from that day) and clipped my rear tire. Bad news. When I awoke from my three-day coma, my fiancee and family were all there, but my left leg wasn't. That's right. That **********er hit me, caused the amputation of my leg and then he took off. Damn! A hit and run!
So, yeah, you can take safety courses; ride reponsibly and wear a helmet, leathers, gloves and boots, but you're always gonna be a loser against a car. The problem is...there are a LOT of cars out there. I still love bikes, but I'll never put my family through that sort of trauma again. Plus, I dont have a left foot so shifting is gonna be a big problem too. That's it for me and bikes.
Damn fine bike choices though, TYSON! Everyone's got an R1 or R6 or Gixxer or CBR, but you hardly ever see a T509 or an RC51 around. Woot!
Woah man, sorry to hear all that.
Exactly why I own an FD and not a bike. I was looking at getting the Black Widow underseat exhaust for the Triple, way cool!!
If I lived out west still I would have one of them, because there are a lot fewer cars on the road and everyone has had driver training in a CAR not a donkey cart.
Baldy,
I was waiting to turn right and he crossed in front of me, so technically he 'passed' me!
I'm still rolling in the company Intrepid, so maybe he could take me anyway
