Any motorcycle heads?

Linked up with a club and took a ride up to the mountains this weekend. Shit was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by the torque my sport bike had. Bitch was pulling ridiculous mountain inclines after slowing down to low speeds for deep mountain curves all in 2nd gear. I never downshifted to 1st. I knew this shit was fast but the low end torque and power on demand shocked me.

i love my cbr 1000rr but that m109r is calling me. i love the speed, agility and acceleration of my fireblade but i want to kick back and ride long distances at this point. my understanding is that the m109r is the perfect bike to make that transition on. it has the size and comfort of a cruiser with the speed, acceleration and torque of a sport bike. the fucker has an 1800cc engine with 4.4 inch pistons. i've been told its a monster on the road and it is pretty as fuck to me. is anyone familiar with it? has anyone made the transition from street bike to cruiser? what did you have and what did you get? what did you gain/lose with the new bike?

Anybody have any info on tires? I need a rear. I got 4k miles out of a Bridgestone Battlax that came stock on the bike. It's a sport bike but i dont ride extremely hard. I've been up to the mountains but the rest of my miles have been on the highway. Im not a stunter or a racer even though I frequently open it up on I-20. Im trying to determine which tires to get. No need for the hyper sports. They are great for speed and performance but they dont last very long. Im not a track guy so I dont see the need for them. Im thinking of going with the sports touring line. Anybody ever run those on a sport bike? If so how did it work? Where can I get a good price on tires?

Dont get anything less than a 600. Anything smaller than that is a waste of time.

The continental conti are a good tire day to day

Michelin pilots are pretty much go to classics

... personal favorites

Pirelli Diablo are solid but burn up quick

Dunlop road smart.....heat up quick and stay sticky ....

I'm mad that maxxis stopped making sport bike tires .... them joints was rock solid

Y'all be careful on these bikes. I had a homie die tonight on one and another earlier this year

I'm digging those Triumph bikes, they look real slick. I see a lot of people on them on the north side of Chicago

I'm not a fan .... but they have a nice riding seating position of more upright .... making maneuverability better for city traffic ..... kinda like riding a street fighter style

I must be an idiot because I know two people who have seriously fucked themselves up on bikes in my time, yet I've decided this year that I want to learn and get my motorbike licence. General biker opinion is that accidents tend to be due to bad drivers.

I partly agree, but my advice is that you have to always be reading the road though and assume that everything is against you... I think most accidents happen 2miles away from your home, so dont assume that just because you are nearly home that you are now safe and can let your concentration slack...

But if you are at a set of traffic lights and car smashes into the back of you there not much you can do to prevent it, aside from keeping your break light on to let them know you arnt moving...

I dont commute or ride every day on a bike as Im a fair weather rider, but Ive still had some major close calls and minor accidents at low speeds when I first passed...

You only live once bruh and I refuse to live afraid. You can get fucked falling off a motorcycle just as easily as you can get fucked up slipping on soap in the shower. I know someone whose life was permanently altered by slipping on soap in the shower. If I gotta be fucked up like that give me a bike. You can keep the soap.

250cc or 300cc and you might as well get a scooter.

Yeah, I think if you are looking at a first sports bike Honda CBR500/600 are a good start...

Not really, to get around town, especially European towns with smaller roads they can be handy to commute with... Plus zipping around on Mopeds is quite fun...
