the other bikes

So everyone knows about the bikes we see daily, the hondas, kawasakis, suzukis, etc. But what about the bikes that aren't as common? The aprillas, buells, and triumphs? Just want to hear some opinions.

Re: the other bikes

Most of those bikes are usally more expensive or just more uncommon and not up with the package for the price that u get with a jap sportbike

I would like to try out a triumph triple for stunnin. and I have been in love with the triumph 675 since it came out a few years ago I would like to own one some day as a sunday ride bike. also most of what u listed they dont commonly make many stunt parts for.

Buells r ugly ***!
Aprilla is sik but$$$$$$$$$
I just dont like ducatti all my buddys drool over them Im not impressed

U asked
Thats my :YEAH

Re: the other bikes

Loved my Aprilia RSV Mille

Love my KTM 400 EXC motard mule

started with an Aprilia and wound up with a Suzuki, so that should tell you something. Not sure it's gonna be what you wanted to hear, but you did ask.....

Re: the other bikes

I still think the Ducati 916 is the best looking motorcycle ever mass produced. I would love to have one but I don't think I could give up my Honda for it.

in what aspects?

Comfort? Reliability?



Not disagreeing, just wondering??



Not doubting the bikes.. Just curious why triumph doesn't make a race bike.. All you see on the track are kawaski, suzuki, yamaha, and honda

Re: the other bikes

my buddy owns a honda rc51 and a tl1000r one with a jardine exhaust and the other yoshi and they both sound like helicopters at speed. i love the way they sound, a bit heavy but those v twins pull a lot harder than most streetbikes ive ridden. a stock tl makes about 119-120 at the wheel which is about the same as a gsxr 750 but the way they pull is a lot harder.

I've ridden the RC and I hated it. It was slow revving and very twitchy.
