A good friend has a 'busa, which is (i think) 1300cc with 170 bhp, so there is a happy alternative for the more advanced of year and waistline.
He doesn't break the speed limit "on purpose" either. |

@Musoku its all horses for courses. Your rice rocket is presumably high end power, built to accelerate your svelte self, both in a straight line and around corners.
Whereas some people need something a bit more robust, which won't collapse when they sit on it. |

"Out of curiosity, Zeegrr, what is a real motorcycle to you? I ride a Honda VTX 1800C, the bikes in this pic just look like toys to me."
Google tells me that a 2006 (latest figures I could find in a quick search) VTX 1800 produces 106 horsepower. My 1997 Honda CBR600F3 allegedly produces 105 horsepower.
What the hell is your bike doing with that extra 1200CCs of capacity to only get an extra 1hp out of it?
Add to that the stats that say mine is 195kg dry, and yours is 320kg dry.
My vehicle might be a toy, but it sounds more fun than yours.
(I don't break the speed limit on purpose, and I've never pulled a wheelie, nor attempted any sort of other stunt. My fun is had through acceleration and cornering...which doesn't sound possible with what you ride) |

@The-Brit, I see 4 idiots that are probably going to die prematurely because of their own stupidity. |

One of the things my parents taught me was "never judge others by your own limitations". I see skill, what do you see? |

At least he is wearing his helmet. So his head will be protected. It just won't be attached to his body anymore. |

I there were more doing this and all those with poor skills were eliminated, the world would succumb to the new breed of superior bike surfers.
Lady bike surfers do your part! They need biker-ette surfers to ensure their progeny.

Nothing screams "douchebag" quite like doing tricks on your crotch rocket. Especially shirtless. |
