Title: What are you guys riding?
Post by: supakpow2 on December 02, 2008, 11:42:32 PM
I'm on 05 s2r 800 in red.  My next bike might be a sport 1000. The wife loves the way they look. [thumbsup]

I've also been looking at some retro bikes turned into supermotos. Very, very cool.

This guy in UK builds 'em. very subtle mods but still a hugh amount done.  He says he has about 6k in that one.
2 more he's done. The orange one was his 1st.

that GP style zard is the only reason I'd ever get a sport classic  [evil]

I have a possiby-soon-to-be-red-no-longer 620.

let's see...

what's on her:
BMC filter, chopped lid, custom but needs to be remapped PC3
arrow Ti high mounts
CC rearsets
m750 barrels w/ FBF 11:1 piston kit
suburban machinery bars
brembo goldline masters
evo slave
sidecar mount damper, whose brand name escapes me for the moment
rizoma reverse retro barend mirrors

stuff in boxes waitin' to go on:
CF bling (side panels, DP short tail, SBK fender)
3-way showas
penske 8983 monoshock

possible fab to be done:
bump-style seat
LED taillight and new turn sigs
paint
2-1 megaphone, or 2-2 shotgun pipes
manx-stlye flyscreen


I'd love to have different wheels on there, too... and a tube swingarm and dry-clutchification.

she's slow, but at least I can make her pretty  ;D

those rearsets rock. The front has a nice tight look. I think when i have the jing i'm gonna put the Arrows on. Last year at motogp I was riding my b-in-law's monster with full arrows and man... people get outa te way. [bow_down]
they just stare in awe at it. and that's with him in front of me on his Bayliss.

Here is my old Monster, now owned by Michael (who comes on here every so often)

My go fast rocket like thing

(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z53/b_upton/DSC_0033-1.jpg)

And the bike that thinks it's a freight train (still in its former owner's garage)

(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z53/b_upton/002.jpg)

Then for person-powered funness I got this

There is a guy here in Kailua that has a Sport for sale.  It's similar to mine though so I would have to discourage the purchase unless you keep it on Kona.   8)
