How many are also Sport Bike Riders?
 
I bought my RX8 since it is like a 4 wheel Gixxer 600-750 with controlled climate. I have highly modified sportbikes, 2000 Honda RC51 & 2003 Suzuk GSXR1000. I feel one with the machine like I do with the bikes except I have all weather comfort and can kake by two Doberman Pinchers for a spin as well.

I have a old ninja 500 that i love to ride. As soon as spring gets here though, im going to get a Ducatti or Aprillia. I would rather have a R-1 or a Busa but im six and a half feet tall and the Japanese bikes are just to small for me to sit on comfortable for long. The italian bikes seem to stand taller and have more legroom

Several Bikes
 
The RX-8 competes for garage space with a K1200RS BMW, a Honda Valkyrie, a Triumph Thunderbird Sport and my wife's Honda Shadow Sabre. It's difficult enough to get miles on the bikes. I have a feeling they're going to feel even more neglected now that RoXy-8 is in the household. :)

The biggest problem I have with sport bikes is that I can't take two kids to school on one, hence the RX8 next to the Buell in the garage! Seems that now that my kids are big enough for the dirt bikes, my motorcycle time is mostly spend chasing each other around in the back yard. Poor XB9R got only 300 miles this year, at least 200 of them were on the track though.

Re-opening an old thread.

Moto2 racer to launch smartphone app for track days

The Race Sense app utilizes the inbuilt sensors in your smart phone such as accelerometer, GPS tracking, inclinometer and time, to provide what is in essence a fully functional data acquisition system designed to mimic the advanced electronic telemetry systems of MotoGP and WSBK.

The app is designed to be a useful tool for someone who races for a living and a very fun toy for those who just like to brag to their mates about what lean angle they got at their ride day, and what top speed they reached down the main straight.

Thats really cool. I feel like a couple buddies I ride with and I could get into some trouble with this app. Definitely staying tuned for the release of that.

I don't own one, but my brother do, and I know how to ride it. My wife don't want me to ride a motorcycle nor own one. :(

Motorcycle owner since 8 years old :) starting from 50cc
Anyone in NJ ??

alnielsen 11-09-2012 11:48 PM

My first bike was a 100cc 1970 Kawasaki. I was 16. My present bike is a 1978 Yamaha 750 (mid-weight cruiser). The closest thing I ever owned to a sport bike was a 1972 Kawasaki triple 2 stroke. I used to go around corners so fast that the front wheel would skip.

Nice bikes guys, I USED to have a 95 ZX6-R, till some Asss hat stole it. I REALLY would love to find an old Ducati 916 or a 748....that was my dream bike back in the day...and still is...OH, wouldn't turn down a GSXR-750 either!!

reddozen 11-12-2012 12:21 PM

I love the 748's... so pretty...

I know it'll never happen, but I wish Norton would release a street version of the NRV588 rotary bike...

yomomspimp06 11-12-2012 03:55 PM

I'm on my third. 06 ninja 636, 08 gsxr 600, and an 08 ninja zx6r. I was thinking of getting a zx10r but since the release of the 2013 636 I might reconsider. I do open track days and love the mountains.

track days are extremely addicting. Initial cost can be expensive( suit, boots, gloves) Afterwards it's the CHEAPEST fun you can have. Here Talledega is 100$ Barbers is 180$ and Road Atlanta is around the 180$ mark. You will be completely addicted! You know that feeling you get when riding? Well multiply that by a million and you're still no where near how exhilarating it is to drag knee while passing a guy in a decreasing radius corner. Trust me, you want to go ahead and start as soon as possible

yomomspimp06 11-13-2012 07:14 AM

haha
well I might be needing your services soon. I'm trying to talk my GF into getting me a BHR ignition kit for christmas :)
