Different style of bike to most on here. I ride dirtbikes, heading up to Mt Dissa tomorrow for some fun
My Crf250x and just bought my wife a ttr125L

I might be a bit different again. Being a young bloke, not many of us are into the classics.
Although I have my own modern bikes, I'm definitely one for classics as well

Working as a bike mechanic, I couldn't ask for a better job watching Exotic Ducati's, 1920's Brough Superiors, and basically anything else you can think of roll through the shop.

Just curious to see what bikes other people on the forum have whether it be road, dirt, enduro, hill climber, etc

Here is a taste of mine at the moment. with more bikes on their way

2004 Ducati S4 Monster

1999 WR 400F bash around

2001 KX 125

1965 Ducati Mach 1 250 (currently restoring lol)

[JasperStewart]

1996 CR500 with sand paddle



2001 CR500



2007 KTM SX-F 450



2008 WR450 (at right)



2010 B-King - Naked bike with Hayabusa engine

My old beast

That is a blast from the past. Nice ride! I used to run along side one of these in 1985 on my 85 GPZ70R from Gold Coast to Brisbane every day before the M1 was even thought about. Had a GS1000S before that and the forst road bike I had was a Suzuki GT500 Triple with custom chambers that still keep the RG's honest. Always a place in my heart for a big bangin Suzuki 2 stoke!

This is what I get around on more often than not. An 07 KTM Superduke R. It's ruined me for driving to work and sitting in traffic.

I have a 2012 Repsol cbr250r with ABS. Definitely don't ride it enough. Had it almost 2 years and it only has 1280km on it since new

Single cylinder, but great little learner bike. Not sure if I am going to upgrade (I want a cbr600) seeing as I barely ride this one. Ill try figure out how to put up a picture.

Cheers

Easiest way to decide if you want a bigger bike, ride a bigger bike. If you fall in love with riding all over again, you need a bigger bike! I had a CBR250R and was debating whether to buy a bigger bike, so a mate was nice enough to say 'Here, lets swap bikes for a while'. So I carefully hopped on his ZX9R, rolled on the throttle gently (which felt bloody quick after the 250!) and within a week I had bought a 'bumble bee' GSXR600.

haha good idea. if i did upgrade, it'd only be to a 600cc anyway. depends how i go at tax time i guess stroker or new bike hmm!

[macca_779]

600 is a good size. No where near the lazy power of a litre bike. But drop a couple of gears and they do fine. You have to consciously want to give them shit for them to bite you generally

[wolfeh_]

that's what i was thinking. im only 5'9 and 75kg.. i think a 600 would be plenty enough power/nimble enough for me
i think a litre bike would weigh too much hahaha

[Davothegreat]

i think a litre bike would weigh too much hahaha

You do realise the litre sports bikes only weigh a handful of kilos more than 600s... My old Gixxer 1000 K4 (168kg) was only 6kg heavier than the 750 (162kg) which was only 2kg heavier than the 600 (160kg).

Good morning

I only really only ride a bike once a year and then I am limited to riding pillion as I do not have a licence, but I thought I would post a picture of the bike

We ride around on Brisbane on Christmas Morning and make everyone smile.

[macca_779]

I sold my CBR600F over Xmas. Now eagerly awaiting the delivery of my 2015 BMW S1000RR. I've optioned all the electronics packages and forged wheels.

Looks like this but mine with DDC will have Gold Forks.
