ahh, always liked the direction kawi took with the twelve. composite frame and all that sounded badass, if not a giant pain to work on. best looking hyperbike so far to be sure.

Oh yea, I liked the looks for sure but I got tired of waiting... besides, I might have ended up on Kawasaki from then on...

Well, if you were a bit older, you might remember when EVERY sport bike was called a Ninja! I do mean every!

Then every guy had to have the new GSXR, then the FZR, then the CBR900RR, etc. I definitely goes in waves. I went out of my way to have different bikes than everyone else. I literally rode with 5 other guys and all five of them had CBR900RRs when I had my '95 FZR1000. I owned one of the two YZF1000Rs I have ever seen on the road. Then I went to the 'Busa which everyone hated the looks of... I finally gave up and went with the crowd, sometimes they're right!

One of our bike nights a week ago had so many GSXR's...mainly Busa's with fat tire kits that I couldn't believe it. There were several other bikes as well but the GSXR's were in full force...stretched...lowered...and big tires.

Plenty of cruisers as well...overall it was a good mix.
