Honda NSR 125. Previous-to-previous owner dropped it and started to part it out and got bored so sold it. Previous owner proceeded to streetfighter it and polish the frame over winter then sold it to me. Check out the bitchin' shine! EDIT: Can't see the picture  Edit the second: Here it is:  Click here for the full 604x453 image. Budgie fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Apr 20, 2009 |

Man, the NSR125 is twice the bike the CBR125 could ever hope to be. Well, other than the passing emissions, being nearly silent, fuel injected, and cheap to maintain... But really, does any of that matter when you compare it to the sound of a small two stroke being ragged on?

I love how the front of the bike raises as you hit the powerband! I broke one of my L Plates off trying to empirically determine my maximum speed. I got to 92mph in top gear and still had 2k revs to reach the redline, not sure if it has much more power to give. I have an inkling however, that it might not be as restricted as it should be. I need a longer stretch of deserted road. Once I sit my DAS I'll be glad to see the L Plates go though.

That's a sweet looking NSR125, and slightly more unique than the generic CBR125RR that most new riders want. Don't kid me, the CBR is a nice bike, but there's so drat many of them. Also, YAY, another brit rider, that makes 4 of us.

Wish I had access to the better quality pics, but my new Bandit: Click here for the full 604x453 image. A little dirty as the dust out here coats everything, but at least I got that sticker off the windscreen right after the photos were taken.  Click here for the full 604x453 image. Rides as smooth as I could want, though I want to get that front end switched out for naked when I get a chance. Picked it up a month ago with 12.5k miles for a scant $2.7k, and have since put on almost 1500 miles.

I just graduated the MSF this weekend, so I decided to buy myself a present:  2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50. I really fell in love with the Boulevards when I drove my father's C50 last year. Comfortable low seat, balances great for a bike that tips the scale at the top end of 500 lbs. Good amount of torque too: I took it on a winding mountain pass yesterday and it pulled straight up the pass without having to come out of 5th gear. And good god, those Vance & Hines Straightshots just sound like pure evil. She's not very pretty up close, but I think the sound it makes more than makes up for it. I'm definitely doing some touring with my dad this year, and I think I got the right tool for the job.

Drum brakes on a 2005

Hey, it's better than a Honda. They were still carbureted in 2005. 800cc Boulevards are great bikes. I still miss mine.

Simkin posted:Drum brakes on a 2005 Drum brake ADL here, but they're actually not that bad when set up correctly. Sure, it's not going to stop the bike on it's own from 80mph over and over without ended up with some fade, but it's a cruiser, that's not really what they're shooting for.

Simkin posted:I know, but I needed to have some barb other than "straight pipes Haha oh I know. Ideally I would have preferred something baffled like the "cruzers" that vance & hines makes, but I certainly won't refuse these. I might even go back to stock for the 1000+ mile ride that I'm going to do in about 6 weeks just so I don't go deaf. And not only does it have a drum at the back, it has a single disk in the front! Suzuki still does this for their "800cc and below" cruisers for the 2009 model year too, apparently. It's not like it's underbraked or anything, because I guess that 544 lbs dry weight isn't that heavy for a cruiser. MrKatharsis posted:Hey, it's better than a Honda. They were still carbureted in 2005. Truth. I really do love the EFI too.

My dad has a C50 and it is a very nice ride. Got a lead on a 87 goldwing with some road rash for $250 and will check it out later this week. I wounder what it would look like naked depending on the damage.

92 Suzuki GSX1100G - painted it with my father-in-law a few weeks ago. Turned out pretty well I think:  Really fun bike to ride. It's a little tall though is cold-blooded as hell but otherwise it was the best $1500 I've spent. Thanks craigslist!
