There seems to be quite a few bikers on this site. Just out of curiosity, what do you ride and what would you chop it in for? Example: CBR600 > GSXR 1000 I haven't got a bike at the moment but I've got my eye on a Honda SP2 or a Ducatti 999 (if I win the lottery!). I just love the sound of those twins!

I don't have a bike since six weeks ago for the first time since I was 17.... I gave away my old CB400 f1 to someone who will lavish TLC on it. I love bikes but I carry too much metal to kid myself I'm safe on them. I do ride a Raleigh Cayusa MTB tho' ! Fantastic bike.

Currently have a Triumph T955i Daytona. I would probably chop it in for a new Fireblade or a Ducati 888 SP4S if the right one came along.

Sold my Blade after buying the VX (just wasn't using it) and bought a VFR400 - FANTASTIC - does everything I want, with cheap insurance etc(including track day at Brands)..... my perfect bike would be a 748 - but it just wouldn't get used... Mick

Kawasaki ZX636 ninja 2002, what a machine had to b green! have been round croft on it and loved it, so will have to take the car on the track to compare! 1 before woz a ZXR 400 N reg had for two years, my first bike loved it but just wouldnt go fast enough, could out handle other riders on bigger bikes but they had me on acceleration and top end, no good had to treat myself. would love the Augusta SV F3 just for the looks WOW!!!! probably not as quick as the 636 but i could live with that, not cheap like!!!!

[R1 nur]

Just sold the R1. Never thought I would be without a bike but what with no garage at the mo and the VX being so much fun the bike (unfortunately) had to go. So what will replace it next year? VXT Sprint or another R1 - the new one looks like it will be a good 'un.

[Jez]

I remember your quote mate 6 months ago when I got rid of my R1 cheers

To use the proper title "Test Facilities Engineer" working on engine management systems based at MIRA (Motor industry Research assosciation). We mostly did work for Triumph and Aprilia, and a few other Car / bike manufactures.
Interesting (FUN ) Job but it didn't pay well and the company was sh1te.

Monster 600. Its perfect for me at the moment (keep considering a jap 400 every now and again), but think eventually i'll move on to a 748 (or its replacement), though i'll have to have a look at whats around at the time...
