The Motorcycle Thread

Didnt notice if there was one, im bored at work so i took it upon myself to create it, here we go

Ive had an 04 yamaha r6. after a couple of months it wasnt enough bike for me so i jumped into the big boy league and picked up a 06 Yamaha R1 Raven, added two brothers exhaust and lowered it about an inch. I also had everything powder coated black, nothing visible was any color but black. I sold that bike before i joined the Marines becuase i knew out here in cali with all the interstate and canyons id either get way too many tickers or die. I get out in the next three months and will be moving somewhere else, so my seperation gift will be another 06 Yamaha Raven R1. Later down the road id like to find an old harley sportster as well.

So what have you guys had or have?

I got a TTR-125 I hardly use. It's a shame, I'm to lazy to put any work into it. lol

Sure, '02 Yamaha Blaster

Have since removed front the fenders, foot pegs (too small for bigger feet) and put on an aftermarket, no-name-brand exhaust that is now packed with dirt from putting it on its back 3-4 times.

I loveeedddd my blaster, fmf exhaust with a 240cc big bore kit. after awhile it was a little boring, luckily i had a welder in my garage and a couple parts laying around. One of these parts happened to be a 14b turbo off a eagle talon. So a good full friday, she was up and running the next day sporting a turbo. the power was insane, basically became a two wheel machine. Sadly, it didnt last long...the crank was basically decinegrated after a drag race. I love the two stroke engine, way more than a 4 stroke

Very nice!!! Yeah, this thing was purchased used in 2007ish and is now beat to hell. I will post a more recent pic later. It doesnt even look the same, ha! Just stock like mine, this things fast. Cant imagine one with a turbo. Really? A turbo on an ATV already called "blaster"? Funny!!!

[usmccharles]

haha yea it was absolutely insane, ive rode turbo 600 bikes before but just the way the two stroke was...it just was a different world, no throttle in the middle of turns. In a way it took fun out of it...but it added that fun in that..."really..a turbo..come on..."

Have a Honda Varadero 125cc
Only 15bhp so not powerful but I love it

I'll buy a more powerful bike someday but have no immediate plans

This isn't mine, just a pic of the model
Big and sturdy

Can I get some opinions of Harley and Victory owners? Might be in the market for one.

Specifically, a V-Rod, Softail, or a Hammer.

Generally, I'd just google it, but they often lead me to sites where people are totally biased.
