What's been your favorite bike?

It's gonna be my RC. IMO it's more comfortable on longer rides than my VTX (surprisingly), it's more stable in a turn than the R6 that I rode. The thing really does feel bullet proof, almost like it would take a Mac truck to unsettle it when leaned over.

Most fun street bike? Easily the Hypermotard S. That bike is so fun it should be illegal!

Still, there's nothing like having the 1098 at apex and rolling on the gas. The sound of that pure-bred twin coming to life as it pulls from 5000 rpms is like nothing else. The feeling you get as the torque accelerates you so damn hard you have to hang on for dear life is unreal. There are several times when I've thought "this thing should be spinning the rear right now, but it's still hooking up..." That bike is so at home at full lean that you almost have time to check out the scenery.

Funnest to date but sold was my FZ1. Comming soon I hope is my 2009 Vmax. That thing is going to be a blast.
