well I've noticed with my excessive riding that putting such abuse on my superhawk is taking it's toll with maintenance on the older bike. Granted hopefully once it's back to 100% I should be good for quite awhile other then oil changes. Anyways that in addition to the fact that I want an i4 race replica has led me to start looking for 2nd bike options (yeah I made a post about this awhile back). Well the 1000rr is probably the best of all worlds in terms of i4's in my eyes. Only prob is I don't feel comfortable since I've never ridden an i4 supersport/superbike. I'm used to good torque but nowhere near used to the fury that is unleashed on the top end. Well the idea is to go for a 600 i4 for a year at least and then if I feel the need go for a 1000. SOOOOO with all that said. who here is a 2 bike owner?

 

I used to have one, then two, now back to one, and soon two.

Possibly more later on...and I'm sure there are a few guys on here who own more than two.

 

Hawkrider has 3. well 2 if you don't include his wife's that he bought for her :P

 

98 750 gixxer

Owned 3 once then down to 1 then back to 2 then none then 2 then back to 1 and now 1 rider and 1 rusted piece of junk.

 

He's talking about bikes. Not gf's and wives.

 

Are you joking..........I'd be in an insane asylum if it were women!!!!!! I can barley hold on to one.

 

I have 3 in my garage right now. Mine is the superhawk. My girlfriend's is a 600rr. My girlfriend's brother (we all live together) has a 1000rr. With the exception of my girlfriend who just flunked her MSF course and her brother who has sr22 and can't ride any of the other bikes, I can ride all 3 (and do).

Does a Honda z50 count as a bike. If so, then I have two.

I have 2:

2002 Superhawk
1996 Suzuki DR200se dual sport - street legal

 

Currently at six. '94 CB1000 (Big One),'97 Bandit 1200S, '98 Superhawk,'99 ZRX1100, '02 FZ-1, and '06 Speed Triple. Building a new 24x30 steel outbuilding to make more room in the attatched 2 car garage.

 

1998 S-Hawk and... If the "z-50" counts then my basket case 1967 CB77 "Superhawk" counts.... it has no carbs, seat, actually no chance in hell of ever running.... but my wife says I have (2) bikes... so that must mean it counts!!!

J.

 

I have too. Too damn many.

2002 VTR100F
2001 KTM Duke II
1990 VFR750F
1974 CB360T
2000 XR400F (DS)
2003 KDX200

 

Never enough bikes, must get more.

 

05 Superhawk
00 Rm250
79 Mx80

And of course I want more.

 

1998 Superhawk
1978 Yamaha DT250
2001 Honda XR50 (ok, it's my son's)
1982 Honda CB900 F (I really should get this one running)

 

No9,

The 1000RR power just doesn't compare at all to the Superhawk when it comes to quantity. The RR has at least 33% more, but there's something to be said about QUALITY as well. This is the reason we all have twins, and the Superhawk is as good as any twin out there. The 1000RR rush is impressive and the more you use it the more comfortable you get with it, and it's great for point and shoot type riding. The twin power is different. There is about the same amount of torque on both bikes, but the VTR's just seems more manageable. I can get on the gas a lot earlier and more comfortably on the VTR than I can on the RR. The VTR also turns better and is about 10-15 lbs lighter. Would I get rid of either? Well, if I can't get the RR to handle better it will be up for sale next year and I'll be looking into a 675.

Which bike do I choose for the twisties? The Superhawk (now that she's back on the road).

Which bike do I choose to commute on? The Superhawk - it's more comfortable.

So why do I have the RR? I dunno! LOL

 

grr I wrote a nice response and it never loaded...


the 1000rr I'm interested in is the 06 which has received quite a bit of work to improve it over the previous years. Lighter, faster, turns better, etc. But still don't think I'm ready for one. I like the 675 a lot but don't wanna go brand new as I don't wanna be that guy who gets a bike and promptly sells it a month later and loses big time on resale. the 03/04 636 is cheap, great all around bike, and only issue I'm told is the cct. lol which to us seems like nothing since basically everyone's changed one by now.

I'm stunned btw at how many multi bike owners we have here

 

Right now there's 10 bikes in my garage. Obviously not all of them are running at the moment!

 

So does a non-running bike even count? I'd call that a shelf.

 

98 superhawk
01 sv650(race bike)
99 xr100(pit bike)
79 gs1000s
78 gs750e
I dont know why, but my wife just doesnt understand why I need this many bikes

 

Or depending on shape and location a planter.:-D
