1978 Yamaha xs 650 air cooled inline twin loved it lots of power stayed with 750s all day. then 04 honda 919 now 06 cbr 1000rr
Ah, that explains it. I just use my bike for street riding and to work and school. Haven't thought about the track yet, well even if I did I would need to get a full one piece suit etc and have to do some mods to my bike.
hmmm.. my first bike!! a 100cc honda i think i was 15 yrs old then, used to ride an automatic scooter before; damaged clutch plates, piston rings whole lot of other stuff... lol two year later my younger brother got a 100 cc yamaha 2 stroke!! those were huge success in india back then.. yamaha was the craze and 2 stroke power was awesome then a sportier 137cc yamaha 2 stroke, very torquee awesome bike back then.. the good old days.. i think they still have those in malaysia.. (Nicholas cage was riding it in Bangkok dangerous) hmm... then a honda scooter and then a 150 cc kawasaki 4 stroke.. i got it from my brother, he decide not to ride it after having a minor accident he broke his leg... and became a cager since then... lol
always wanted to get a bike here in U.S. and i think i made the right desicion by buying FZ6r.. i hope to ride it for quite some time if god still be so kind and generous and i can keep my job lol .. but i still remember the power of 2Stroke it's massive/fun... Yamaha rocks!!

1974 Suzuki TM75 (purchased new when I was 14)
Several years later,
1974 Suzuki GT380 (2 stroke)
1975 Suzuki GT550 (2 stroke)
1989 Yamaha XT600 (still have most of it-selling parts)
2009 FZ6R
The GT550 was a real screamer in the quarter mile. Easily would outrun 750's and more.
PS-did some research... The fz6r is more than 3 seconds faster in the quarter mile

Would love to own another, not rich, but I do have three cages (all used), so why not at least two bikes....
Unfortunately wife gets a new van before I get a new bike. After that I'm leaning at a full blown sport touring machine FJR, st1300, concourse, etc.... or maybe go cheap and get a little dirt bike first, so many choices.
