Are bikers scarce on Hexus?

As the title says, reveal yourselves bikers.

Had a Honda and a Peugeot 50cc when I was 16, does that count ?

Currenly ride a Varadero, looking to get a CBR600F/RR later this year. Think I fall into that category quite nicely. Well, unless you meant cyclists, in which case I haven't ridden one in 2 years (and then it was to raise money for charity)

BTW, Nice bandit, dad had an 03, sold that to get a CBR1100XX to go touring on with Mum

Had a VFR800 but I had to sell it to move over here.

Sort of, my dad popped in while I was reading your reply and pissed himself. He had a Suzuki GS 850 GT when before I popped along, said my Bandit kills it-in every way.

Dave97: Pah, cyclists? Don't get me started! Always meet up with em on corners and nearly kill em.. never mind. A new CBR? or from the age where they were usable?

TeePee: And you want a nother, yes?

[dave87]

Heh, CBR600F I'm looking at around the 03 reg, so still usable, the CBR600RR was a bike I'd consider if I could find a nice one cheaper than the 600F (cost more to insure). Also had a look at the GSXR600K5, but for a good one its top end of my budget, and most mags seem to prefer the Honda as an all rounder.

Just want something with a little more go (and a fairing, if I do get one it would do a fair few motorway miles)

[J4MES]

i would be a biker if i had my lid back from the shop (where it's been for 3 long weeks) waiting repair... moral of the story? don't buy shark helmets

[kaillum]

my old baby...



my current ride



and me messing about on a wheelie bike...



does that make me a biker??

[kaillum]

don't buy shark helmets

would never put my head in anything other than an Arai! Reassuringly Expensive

[Rave]

Sad old bike commuter here, in 7 months of owning my ER5 I've never taken it out of a 30mph limit (not that that means I've never done more than 30mph). Now I have some protective gear and the weather's getting better I might start venturing further afield for some days out. Once I've got it some new tyres. And bought myself some earplugs.

I wish I could afford that sentiment...I'm using a Caberg atm, good reviews, but bloody noisy at anything above round town speeds.

And what possessed you to get rid of the RSV?!? The Fazer is a nice bike, but not a scratch on the RSV, well, not in the looks dept anyway... I'm guessing its the thousand?

EDIT - actually looking at the tyres, is it used for commuting?

Oh, has the missus still got the VFR or did she move to a Blackbird?

[Butuz]

Its no wonder theire scarece the way most of 'em ride

Butuz

[dave87]

Heh, you're jus jealous we get through traffic jams quickly

[THCi]

@Kallum, Id say so. Have you wridden an old Fazer(with carbs!)? If so, how does they compare to the newer ones? See the link on the left of my sig to see how my fazer ended up... I still miss her now!

@Butuz, and?

@dave87, Ive used a Cabergs since getting a bike. V2's and Justisimo's. Got a Just' Mirage atm-with added AutoComm headphones-no wind noise over my tunes.

[THCi]

Now I have some protective gear and the weather's getting better I might start venturing further afield for some days out.

And the weather is stopping you... how?

Been out with my friends in the pissing rain and snow (not sticking of course, thats manic) before. We dont feel teh cold... well a little.
