That's the best looking hawk I've ever seen, holy crap. Of all the nakeds I never would've picked that one for looking good with a fairing but that's just amazing.

The only one that comes close is the ZX7-RR which is loving hideously ugly and yet still good looking:  This one belongs to a friend of a friend on Facebook, he's spent an obscene amount on it apparently.

90's ZX-7RRs will go down in history as classics is my guess. They are some drat fine looking bikes.

Just think, the 916, zx-7RR, and RC45 were all on tracks at the same time in WSBK/region superbike classes. Im so hard thinking about it

Just got a new (to me) off-road machine for summer, 03 DRZ400e. Now I understand why everybody parks their vehicles outside; there's no room in these tiny garages   Later Edit: Took it outside today, whooo...   Virgil Vox fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jun 8, 2016 |

Got baby's first biek today. I've just been sitting on it in my garage since getting home (no gear yet, it's coming tomorrow). Having a friend who's been riding for a few years teach me the basics this weekend and taking the MSF course at the end of the month. Super stoked about getting another expensive hobby. Also, thank god I got off of the TU-250/Cafe style kick I was on last summer when I was also mulling over getting a bike.

Just for giggles, if the school your going to has the tu-250 available try to ride one. It's pretty much the rubber stamp motorcycle, completely boring and neutral in every way. It's actually a great non-intimidating learner bike. If they have a Yamaha TW-200, go for that, those things are a laugh riot and are cheat mode for the u-turn box.

I thought the Tu250 was a complete loving turd when I took my MSF. I never stalled the nighthawk 250 the day before, but on my second day that loving Tu250 got stalled about 15 times. Fueling at low rpm was miserably jerky too.

I was on a Rebel for my safety class. It was still cool to me, though, having never been on any other motorcycles to compare it against.

Put a front suspension designed after 1950 and a functioning front brake and I'd ride the poo poo out of it. Also fenders.
