Default Which bike to add to the stable

I'm thinking of an additional bike for this spring and thought it would be fun to see which one you guys like best.

if i won a contest and those bikes were sitting before me, i would grab the RC51

if i bought a bike of this calibur, it might be the 954RR. i watched a video of that thing and it was amazing.

There's an RC51 and (I think) a RR at the Honda dealer in my neighborhood. Too many choices.

Depends on what you plan on using the bike for All around I'd say a 954 would be nice, but I'm a little partial since I have a 929...The RC51 is a little too racy for everyday use, I think.

A blue zx9 is one of the most beautiful bikes available from the big-4 IMO. Damn i love that bike. Powerful yet sleek.

I've always had excellent luck with kawasakis. My next bike will most likely be a kawi.

Ahhh, candy lightning blue...

Well, the RC51 that had been there for at least six months, is now gone, as is EVERY other SB in the liter range. Time for a road trip.

kind of interesting to see the more expensive bike at the bottom of the list. I guess you folks dont know what the rsv mille R is all about.

Well,Aprilla and Ducati both have very uncomfortable riding positions for putting around town,so neither of those would work. The RC51 also has a somewhat uncomfortable riding position IMO.

I would go with the Gixxer or the R1,I loved my R1 to DEATH!

But if we are throwing what's reasonable out the window? Give me one of these:




Or This R1:
