What do you love most about your bike?

Just sitting here thinking about what I love most about my bike. I think for me its a mixture.The noise from the Akras just as your picking the bike up out of the corner. Driving out at about 8000rpm, feeling the bike tyre dig in and having to pull myself forward as the front goes light in my hands. Half the time I expect to look back and see the road in bits, like someone has been ploughing it.

I also love when I pin it past a car in 2nd of 3rd gear, looking in the window as I do it. Seeing the guy driving with his girl beside him knowing right now he wishes he was me and she wishes he was me.

God you gotta love the RSVR:thumbup
 
the roll on from near stand still to about 140 is fantastic.Plus the front (and back torque) is addictive. It may not outpace the litre jap fours but I have alot more fun in the 60-140 range.Tho its a right pain to be passed at 166 like i'm standing still by my mates on ZX10's and blades. Still I wouldnt change it!.

Just goin back to jasersv's comment about overtaking cars, what i like to do(yes i know this is a little childish)is when i spot a couple out for a drive in their little open top sportscar is to creep up in stealth mode then fly past real close with my race cans howling and scare the **** out of them...small things and all that...:biggrin
 
Mate please do not tell me that you do that with tghose cans fitted in the picture..... be a man and get some arrows without the baffles.............. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Manly

That's it, i'm selling them, they have been humiliated and devalued on the world wide web, how can i ever ride with them on my bike, i'm gonna buy some fluffy little Arrows instead:whipping
 
Is revving thru villages so that old bids put hands over their ears allowed?? Winds me up they take all the space in the lanes and then go really really slow so its the only way i can have my fun - going back to the original topic there isn't anything I don't like about my bike apart from seat height :smilie:smilie
