Gixxers and R1's are not too bad design-vise but the latest ZX10R is hideous, they really butchered it. The latest CBR1000RR is actually an improvement over the previous model.
The 916 was an icon to 99% of the bike world, to me, it's an ugly POS. ha ha :)
So I guess I am one of those 1% losers that don't have a clue what a nice bike should be, oh well.
Exactly, it all comes down to personal taste, some will love it, some won't, life goes on. There are people that dislike my bike too, but it doesn't matter to me because I love and enjoy it so...that's life. :)
cheers!
And I also think that Ducati 916 design was total crap and that 999 was much better looking, in fact one of their best looking bikes of all times and it doesn't matter that most people won't agree with me on this one, like I said, all comes down to personal taste.
Just saying, cause it was...
I too was completely unimpressed with these bikes at the bike show. Yes they look great on pictures, and yes they look/sound good when they fly by you on the highway, but at the show was the first time I got the chance to see it up close and sit on one and it looked cheaply made, and outdated...
Try GP Bikes, I think they still have some base (non S) models 2010/2011 Ducati Streetfighters left over, and the prices were pretty good last time I was there.
Both are similar but this one has more huge dudes, with beards, beer bellies, leather jackets with various patches on em and obvious lack of shower use, trying to outdo one another in tough biker wanna be looks. :)
And a ******** of useless vendors selling all kind of useless and cheap crap...
Riding? You kidding? The only thing I am riding today is my nice warm and comfy sofa, while eating pretzels, drinking beer and watching tv. :D
Riding season is coming soon anyways so why rush it?
Is that the show on Lakeshore? If so that is the absolutely worst bike show ever, it's more like a dirty biker Harley Davidson and leather flea market than a motorcycle show. ha ha
Two or so years ago, I bought a brand new 08' left over ZX10R from the states with zero kilometers and paid less than $8000 for it.
These days when I look at bike prices, I compare to the States as well, so over $9000 for a 3 year old bike with 16000 km on it, to me is insane. You can probably...
Yeah it really blows that certain manufacturers only allow their bikes to be sold at their own dealerships, such as Honda. These days if you want to go see bikes, you have to go to multiple dealerships just to sit on different models/manufacturers. I remember the good old days going to McBrides...
