So do you like bikes? Which is your favourite one?
Please post links, pics, and specifications.
Lets make this the official bike thread of sportscarforums.com!! :D

Nope, sorry. Not that i don't like them, though. I just consider cars to be way more interesting and beautifull.

i like tham but im not crazy about tham but i've got a friend that just got one and 2 week later i've did a race with im and he go a flat tire and almost fell :D

Yeah I also prefer cars, but I'm also somewhat moved by bikes. Anyone heard of the Suzuki Hayabusa?

yeah it's a great and very nice bike :D

I think it's the fastest bike in the whole world.
Here are 2 pics :

(I prefer the black one)

same here the black kickass it's so so nice do you know what's her speed :D

I heard it reaches over 350 km/h. I don't know if it's true, though. But it is the fastest bike.

the acceleration must kickass on that babe :D

Sure. It's 0-100 km/h in less than 3 secs, and continues to accelerate like a monster!!
That's because it has a 180 PS (!) engine and weights approximately only 250 kilos!!
(Correct me if I'm mistaken)

sweet man it's faster than the mclaren because the mclaren it's 0-62 mph in 3.0 and dude i've got one more questino how much does that kickass sweet babe is :D

You mean money? The official site gives a price of 11K dollars. (taxes not included)
So the final price should be 15K-20K maximum.

it's really expansive it's the same speed has the mclaren and it's 20'000'000 dollards us or can and the mclaren is 100.000.000.000 dollard us :D

Expensive? You mean cheap!! I meant 20 thousand dollars US, not 20 million!!

yeah i forgot to put not sorry :D

i've seen a kickass bike it's an suzuki put on it had the simpsons and a bottle have nos man he must speed :D

LOLOLOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can find some specs here (http://www.sportbikez.net/html/showcase.php?showcase=67).

I know the Hayabusa. But.... I don't like it very much ( please, don't hurt me! ). To round, like a tuned Beetle in a motor shape :? .

Personally, I think it looks very agressive, beautiful, and with a low centre of gravity. But also look at the specs! :wink:

The specs are impressive indeed. But it's still not one of the best bikes i've seen. I think Harleys suits my style better 8) .

yeah the specs are good but there's better bike this bike is 1299 cc i've seen a bike 2600cc now that's fast

The specs are impressive indeed. But it's still not one of the best bikes i've seen. I think Harleys suits my style better 8) .

yea i agree harley's a so nice the new one is so nice it's looks like it's all still :D

NINJA are tge best Z12 if i remmber right was my favorite

yea i agree harley's a so nice the new one is so nice it's looks like it's all still

Exactly :) .

There might be a bike with 2600cc, but Hayabusa is the fastest one. That's guaranteed. Anyway, Harleys are also nice. Nice engine sound. :wink:

Yes, all Harley's sounds are beautifull, i think. They sound a whole lot better than those Japanese.

yeah but i find that the japannese one are more my style :D but haley's is like 35'000'000 and that expensive for a bike :D

Yes, all Harley's sounds are beautifull, i think. They sound a whole lot better than those Japanese.
Well... I don't really know... I am thrilled at the sound of a fast japanese supersport bike! :shock:
They sound like a monster coming through!!

Hmmm, i think i can't agree. The Harley sounds agressive, brutal, powerfull. While the Japanese manufacturers produce sound at a certain way, so you think the motorcycle's fast. It's like those sounds scream: I'm fast, i'm fast, i'll show you, watch this :lol: !

LOL :lol: :lol:

Ok, that's perhaps why I like 'em!! :lol:

LOL :lol: !

Motorcylces are pretty cool and can be loads of fun when you can handle them. This is the only Bike I'd ever want though...

http://www.bbakira.co.uk/stills/kaneda/kan10.jpg

Until they make an actual production model of Kanedas bike from Akira, bikes are just gonna be cool to look at for me, but thats okay by me. :wink:

I guess that's from a cartoon. ^^

If we'r talking about street bikes then i prefer the Busa and the R1.
If we'r talking about custom i prefer what else..Harley of course...
If we'r talking about touring then any BMW touring bike is superb.
If we'r talking about enduro/cross and SM then any KTM will be the best choise...

So said NiGiz :)

I guess that's from a cartoon. ^^
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Okay, well, I can't be tooooo much in shock. Akira is the definitive Anime movie. It was made in 1988, but you'd think it was made maybe three years ago. It's beautifully animated, has a huge storyline, and did I say it looked awesome? You need to see the orange beast of a motorcyle the character Kaneda rides in action. That might make you agree with me. Hehe. Hope you can find it somewhere without too much trouble.

Akira along with Ghost in the Shell r the top 2 anime movies raith :wink:

I've really never heard of them... :?

Thats okay. I'm just obsessed with the obscure and low radar profile things in life. But yes, I definitly reccomend you try to find a copy of Akira somewhere, rent or whatever, and watch it. Changed my whole perspective on things, like I've done so many many times.

Ok, I'll try to find it...

OHH no Sh*t man!

i didn't saw this topic!
YEAH I LOVE BIKES!!
Suzuki and Ducati and Aprilia!

The most beautiful Bike till now : isssssss.....Aprilia RSV Mile!!



http://www.tlm.nl/aprilia-gebr/2200756.JPG

http://www.tlm.nl/aprilia-gebr/2800828.jpg


ON second place : is the ............ Suzuki GSX-R 1000

Only in white-blue please!!

ON third place :;.... Ducati 998!

http://www.onyerbike.net/images/ducati2003/998.jpg


Their all VERY fast! , but i think for Speed i need the Suzuki Gsx-r 1000 or the Aprilia RSV MIle SP! ( Version SP= realy fast )

greetz : Danny!

Yeah they're all indeed very nice!
I love Aprilia and Ducati, but I believe Ducati is better!

By the way, what's your opinion about the Yamaha YZF-R1?
A pic:

http://www.yamaha-motor.gr/Yme2/sites/EUR/resources/R1_1024_1.JPG

It's one of the coolest bikes! Specs are also impressive!

Yeah like that bike very much!!

He is indeed amazing fast!! but i don't know yet or i like the design?
The design of the nose is quite good , but look to that rear side :( i'm a bit dissapointed than :(

But it's a very nice bike , although i would never buy a Yamaha don't know why but i would go for the Suzuki or Aprilia i think..

But what do you think about the new Ducati 999??

http://www.ducati.com/docs_eng/photogalleries2/SBK/images/f05.jpg

http://www.ducati.com/docs_eng/photogalleries2/SBK/images/f03.jpg

I think it looks good but they have to watch out they not making the design more futuristic than it now already is..
And .. He's not fast enough :( Gsx-R 1000 , Yamaha R1 , Aprilia RSV MILE are faster :(

greetz : Danny!

It's nice, I like Ducatis!
Is this the fastest Ducati? If not, what's the fastest one?

I thought the fasted one is the 998 R ( for road use)

http://hayabusa.bikepics.com/apr-rsv1000-02-bikepics-09900.jpg

Isn't that a nice beauty?!



P.S. This is the most beautiful Japanese bike!! Suzuki GSX-R1000! type 2001!

http://hayabusa.bikepics.com/suz-gsxr1000-1-bikepics-00982.jpg

Hope u lik eit!

Greetz : Danny!

Very nice bikes, all of them!
I liked that Benelli very much, and the Aprilia too!
But what is that MV Agusta?? :? I don't know it!
Although the most beautiful Japanese bike is the Hayabusa for me!
I wonder where we could find any stats like 0-100 times or top speed.

yeah Hayabusa is nice but not my favorit!

Well i love the SPeed of that Hayabusa it's the fasted Masive PRODUCTION motorcycly i thought?
well All bike's(supersport's and sport toures ect. ) are almost from 0-100km/ the same all around 3.0 sec.

Topspeed hmm Ducati is not the fasted..... i thought GSX-R 100o ( standard bike )
The GSX-R 1000 runs 314 km/h i thought? <--- newest!

well , it's AMAZING FAST!

Greetz : Danny!

MV Agusta is Italian too! ;)

I'm sure Hayabusa is the fastest, with 320 km/h stock! With a little tuning, could go easily over 350!
Btw, one of the fastest too is Honda CBR-1100. You know it? You like Hondas?

Here's a pic:

http://www.hondamotorcycles.com/images/model/c028_029_030_031_photos_all/motorcycles/2003/CBR1100XX/largeHoriz/CBR1100XX_large_01.jpg

I like it very much! Very fast and nice!

Yeah i liked Honda but it's now almost the ess important motorcycle for me..
well i really like the CBR600RR

http://www.honda.nl/mc/mbikeimages/cbr600rr_50_2003_l.jpg

http://www.honda.nl/mc/mbikeimages/cbr600rr_51_2003_l.jpg

http://www.honda.nl/mc/mbikeimages/cbr600rr_54_2003_l.jpg

But the VTR1000 Sp-2 is something that looks quite ugly to me!

The CBR600 RR and Fireblade looking Very good!

Greetz : Danny!

Hey btw , you have to search on Kazaa for Hayabusa video's

there are many Hayabusa video's i got one hwich was driving 352km/h

And he was making till 250km/h or something a Wheelie wow , when he came down he was accelerating even faster ( above 250km/h) wow that machine's was FAST!

try it! i'm sure tyou'll find something!

Greetz : Danny!

The best bikes: Ducatti 996 RS,MV Agusta,Yamaha YZF M-1.............. Italian best!!!

:arrow: Alfa:
The CBR 600 is indeed quite nice!
I believe there are also some bike videos at the site you posted in General.

yeah you could be right!

i thought i saw one yes! Look to the Suzuki Hayabusa vs. Toyota Supra:)
I've donwloaded that movie's from Kazaa i 've two movies first the Hayabusa wins at the second movie the Supra wins :) WOW that car must be REALLY fast!


Greetz : Danny!

Yeah but keep in mind the following:

1. The Hayabusa is stock and the Supra is heavily tuned.
2. The Hayabusa costs ~15K euro but the tuned Supra would cost 100K euro!!

yeah ok ,,, but the Supra weight 1100 kg.?
And the Hayabusa...... 250kg?

So that is not fair either :P

But anyway it's fun to see... hehe

Greetz : Danny!

Suzuki GSXR1000 vs Suzuki Hayabusa vs Yamaha R1 vs Honda CBR1100XX

Which one would you choose?
For me, this is easy! The Hayabusa!!

For me : IT's EASY TOO :D:D SUZUKI GSX-R 1000 :D:D:D

a BEAUTY!

greetz : DAnny!

Well, I chose the busa because (for me) it's the best in design but mainly because it's the most powerful and the fastest!!

Yeah Jim , i understand , but here in Holland with not enough space for that Hp's in a bike i choose for an GSX-R 1000...

The Hayabusa seems MUCH to heavy by me and is not fun to drive in a city :(
So GSX-R 1000 is still fast enough for me and , a bit less weight i guess..

OH yes and i prefer the design over the Busa design ;)

Greetz ± DAnny!

the YFZ-R1, of course! But i'd take it in blue. There is just something about yamaha. They have such cool bikes. MY favorite bike, however, is the kawasaki Z1000. There is nothing like it. It's soo evil looking! I also like the Ducatti 999R, but for $33,000, it's not cheap. My second fav bike is the '79 Honda goldwing. In my opinion, the first big sportbike. When i get my liscene in 2 years, i'm getting a ninja 250. It's about 3 grand and can out accelerate an M3!

Oh yes I forgot about the Ninja too!
Which is the fastest and most powerful Ninja? Any pics or specs??

I don't know for sure, but i think that the 250 Ninja (the bottom of the line) can do a 0-60 in 4.3. I can imagine the ZX-12R could do a -3 0-60 sprint.

think about this..

Buell Firebolt XB-12R specs

103hp

395 lbs

to equal in this in car terms, take a Jaguar S-type R. Put it on a diet to make it lose 96 pounds. Put it on steroids to make the engine produce 1030hp from 390hp.

I know i put this comparo on another post, but it's still fun to post.

the Hayabusa of course it's the niceast and fastest :D

Yeah, thats true. I love the fact that for $12,000, you can get a motorcycle that can accelerate from 0-60 in 2+ seconds and have a top speed of 180 (and thats the Horsepower!). For $12,000, you could get a kia Rio. Which one would you get. Tough choice. And, every motorcyle in excistance has a top speed over it's horsepower. God i love motorcycles.

The 'busa has a top speed of 320 km/h!!! That's 200 mph!!! :shock:

just amazing.

OMG ! Jim i LOVE that pic u posted ! If u ever get one, Wanna take me for a ride ? :wink: lol :twisted:

LOL :lol:
Well, I still prefer a very good car over any bike!! :D
But anyway I love bikes too. Especially really fast ones. :twisted:

hehe don't wurry 360 chic!

You can take place at my Aprilia RSV Mille / or Benelli Tornado . that's your choise ;)
8)

Greetz : Danny!

You'll enjoy much more a ride with my new Hayabusa... if I ever get one! :P

I just found some official prices for those bikes (prices in Greece):

Suzuki Hayabusa: 16000 euros
Suzuki GSXR-1000: 15000 euros
Yamaha R1: 12800 euros
Honda CBR1100XX: 14260 euros

Cause i'll drive the most expensive bike :P . BENELLI TORNADO!

:| never notced btw that he is SOO expensive :|

Greetz : Danny!

Yeah... and I can't really understand why! :?
We will let her choose whom she will ride with. :wink:

Thats just a theoretical top speed, it would never get anywhere near that.
Motorcycles actually have a hard time even with tons of power getting past 200 mph
because they have LOTS of drag.

pffff :(
everything I write is wrong for you isn't it...

Thats just a theoretical top speed, it would never get anywhere near that.

considerably less than a car though blu!

:D

Technically, the Tomahawk is not a bike.
And Nik, why the R6? The R1 is almost the same but with a bigger engine!

Thats not true, cars have more surface area but bikes have a MUCH higer CD.

the Indian Chief is one of the most beautiful bikes ever built

For me the Suzuki Gsx-r 1300 'Hayabusa' TURBO, really cool motor

Or else a Ducati, also great motors

For me the Suzuki Gsx-r 1300 'Hayabusa' TURBO, really cool motor
The turbo is not stock, the stock model is NA. But there were many ppl who put turbos to their Hayabusas. :D

Here is a nice pic of the stock model:

I know it ain't a stock model, but it looks just a bit better then the normal one.

hehehehehe. My dad used to have a old 70s Gran Prix bike. Yamaha TZ750, he bought of a guy who used to drag race it with high 7 quaters

That's really amazing. Did he sell it? Do you have any specs or pics?

he sold the TZ, an RG, a TD2 and a TR2 to buy a plane :P
