Here's me on my CBR1000F.



It's heavy, so am I, and the slightly tuned motor puts out about 135 HP. The new 1000's weigh more than 150 pounds less, and put out 165-180 HP at the crank... stock!

I've been looking at new bikes, but they're either hugely powerful, so much so that you'll never safely approach the bikes limits on the road (most won't even be able to get there on a closed track...), or too small. The new 600's are tiny.

Maybe it's time for me to get a pipe and some slippers, and a BMW.

Anyway, stock Harleys don't put out much horsepower, they're heavy, their brakes suck, and corner clearance is poor, so it's not really that much fun pushing one to it's limits. I cut serious weight off of mine, put on lighter wheels, better brakes, and all new suspension, and it's still more fun to putt around riding the torque at low rpm's than it is to hustle it along. That's what Harleys are built for.

Actually, my wife and I have been talking about getting one of these. We need a bike both of us can ride on comfortably for travel.

Just be careful you guys...for some strange reason, I have done more surgery this summer related to motorcycle mishaps, accidents and one guy who fell off the back when doing 80mph, he was the drunk passanger, so I just ask all you guys to wear a helmet and be safe and enjoy yourselves

Sadly your right Red...in to many instances I have seen over the past years and it is often not the fault of the person on the crotch rocket but the car whose driver said he did not see the cycle

Couple things,

Nassau your a surgeon? That must be fun!


I have seen more motorcycle accidents than I care to discuss here. You must be safe, and not ride stupid. But in the long run you can be as safe and careful as you want, it is the other drivers that will get you. You need to have a little bit of faith however. We all do dangerous things, some more than others. When your number is called up by (insert whatever the hell you believe in here) then it is your time. I imagine that I could barracade myself in my house and avoid all things remotely unsafe, but what kind of life would that be?

Yes...Orthopedics and Sports Medicine...I just put a rod in a fractured femur last week secondary to a cycle accident and the Plastic Surg is attempting to replace a massive amount of lost skin on the buttocks and back as the pavement is not a kind place to slide down at over 70 mph...I would estimate about 15% skin loss, some will granulate in and some areas will require grafting both full and split thickness....leathers do work as opposed to jean shorts....motorcycle accidents often present multipe problems such as fractures and bone and skin loss to say nothing of the ones where there was no helmet...those are the organ donation canidates...all I am saying is be safe as possible and be aware of the other guy as I said, more than often it is not the cyclist who is at fault but he or she gets the worst injuries

I wear leathers while surfing the net on my ALX. I have heard horror stories of guys dumping their rigs cause they surfed the net too fast and lost control. I also wear a helmet cause I don't want to be an Oregon donor (although I do live in Oregon, I am too cheap to donate anything other than sperm).
