One of the sergeants that was trying to get me to start riding when I was active had one just like that with a loud balls d&d pipe

First was this 350 Honda my old man got!!! 1971ish I got a ride on the back of that thing and that was it. you could ride bikes on the road!!!! at the ripe old age of 5 I was hooked forever. broke my leg and still got rides even with the cast on and sticking almost straight out as we rode along. rode all the way to grandmas house that way, 350 miles. (ok I took a couple brakes in the car but most of the way I was on the bike)

I always thought honda had some really nice color combinations. I always liked the black with yellow wing F4i. As far as 600RRs go, along with the white/black, these stick out in my mind....





Too bad I don't like the fit of them....

nice. I had one a while ago, just had to have it for a little while.

My dad's wound up being his first attempt at chopping a bike. he bought it brand new. crashed it by sliding under a semi trailer when the driver pulled out in front of him. next thing we knew the body work was hanging in the shed with a fresh coat of Krylon. the forks got longer the "sissy bar" on the back got huge. he put on some wild ass pipes, it was interesting.

My experience is similar. I grew up watching chinese tv that had girls riding motorcycles and I knew as soon as I was able I would be riding. My cousin's boyfriend took me riding on the back of his GSXR1000 when I was 14 and since then I always loved the GSXR's, any size, I just loved the blue and white paint scheme.

Not exactly sure how it happened, but I started liking the naked bikes. First one I really drooled over was the BMW Dakar. I saw a Z1000 at the dealership and also drooled over that. After I got licensed, I saw a 2nd gen SVS and fell in love with it. The SV650S became my 2nd bike and the SV650 naked became my 4th.
