Well, I'm Another Step Towards The New BMW...

[Trip]

OMFG, I am at a loss of words to taunt you Tigger. I am going to need a few hours to compose my thoughts into massive amounts of win.

Headlights are fugly, no getting around that. The gills are pretty stupid too. Besides that, it's a bad ass bike.

Well that's a BMW too, it's fucking ugly. I will freely admit it's really fucking ugly. I have always thought it looks retarded, it could always be worse though. It could be a Vstrom or a Versys.

I actually think it's badass looking. It just looks tough, like it can handle everything. I don't want every bike out there to look like a 998R, you know? Of course, I bought a V-Strom so I may be bias.

Tigger, congrats, that is a sweet fucking bike, I like pretty much everything about it. You have my blessing.

There is nothing wrong with the v-strom. It's an awesome rock solid bike, just not a fan of the looks. Which is a stupid reason to not like a bike because the performance matters more. Learned that with the Beemer.

yea, I used to say that when I owned the 'Busa...well, that and "don't worry your pretty little head about the looks, you won't be able to see it from 2 miles behind me!"

I don't know... it's like women, you can't seem to find a hot one with all of the personality traits that you want. You always end up compromising looks for personality or personality for looks.

I can honestly say the 600rr was both for me. It was exactly what I wanted, when I wanted a sportbike. I loved that bike, it was hard to sell it, but I wanted to move on.

I sat on this at the bike show...fits me well and I love the front end and the sides minus the coloring scheme.

IMO...you are paying for more expensive components (though they may not last longer) and the BMW name. I don't see this bike winning too many races, though.

And for the record, you couldn't handle the Gixxar 1milllllllllion to begin with!
Maybe you need to step down to a 600 son. lol

Huh? '88 V-Max, '92 FZR1000, '95 FZR1000, '97 YZF1000R, '00 Hayabusa, '01 GSXR1000, '03 GSXR1000, '06 GSXR1000

Who here has more experience with liter bikes, "son"?

Oh almost forgot...'86 ZX10, old CB1000 (only Honda I've ever owned-traded it after 3 months)
