I've had a few bikes, currently... Honda SP-1 (which is for sale if anyone's interested.. pm me - 2000W Castrol Honda colours, 52mm BSB Titanium cans, D/B Screen, Power Commander III - goes like stink) also a CBR 600 for Track days, a Yamaha YZ426 M/Xer & a Gas Gas TXT Pro Trialler.
Anyway, as for dream bikes, I quite like my SP-1 actually even though it's got to go 
If I was in the market for another superbike then I guess it might be an Aprillia RSV Mille R. |

@ wildmurphy .... yeah, yeah, yeah, the typical retort from someone who knows next to nothing about bikes - and coming from a bloody Northerner as well
Sheffield ... the only place ... to avoid like the plague - if I've offended you, sorry ... shouldn't be a Northern poof then |

if you ask me, i'll take my bike (which is also the best) over a car any day...
2002 gsx-r 750
@jojo51069 - it's for sure a 2002 hayabusa
@anti_christ666 - that's a cbr 600 f4i. not a 900

@slamevil- Nice photo of a 2002 Suzuki 750 GSXR there! First, I really thought that Suzuki 'finally' stopped producing 750 cc bikes/sports category after the assumption of it's 'SRAD' models a couple of years back. Meaning, all of their 750cc model bikes will just be the SRAD ones. But since you posted that it was a 2002 model, then I guess the rumors - were all just 'rumors' perse. Nice one! |

@jojo - thanks. yes those were just rumors. i think suzuki started making gixxers in like '85 or '86. they are all technicaly "srad's" which is a technology that suzuki invented. it stands for Suzuki Ram Air Direct. it has to do with the intakes in the front of the bike. the faster you go, the more air goes through them into the engine. kinda like a super charger. here's another pic that i cliped out. you can see the intakes clearly.

... am I the only one to have had (I sold it) a GSXR 750 hardtail?
The only thing Suzuki was the engine ... wheels/forks - GPZ, front brake - GPZ, rear brake - harley/GPZ hybrid, twin fatbobs, twin Bates, blah blah blah.
Sold it because hitting a pothole at 130+ jarred my spine a little ...
When I sold it, it was black - the guy who bought it painted it pink!
... and I regret selling it ...

@dwin_888 - I was really surprised that you manage to ride on a Ferrari 360 Spyder, was that driving done here in Manila ? As far as I know, only a handfull 'rich' guys owns one here, if not a rich (tycoon) chinese businessman, then it sure is a 'politician'- who vacuums the country's coffers ! Or maybe you manage to drive one abroad mate. I only manage to see one Ferrari 360 Modena here in Ayala Alabang Village - a yellow one and in South Superhighway one Sunday morning during the recent past, the driver sure knows how to step on the pedal when I saw it, maybe afraid of the carnappers that's why. So @dwin_888, what's your take on my 'Q' ! |

@dwin_888 - Maybe you are an artist by profession - Aga, Richard or Bayani ? Why hide special photos like those, they are very rare indeed. Me, I have some photos taken with some luxury cars shot in Hong Kong a couple of years back - '93 MB S500 and a Bimmer '94 850C series (very rare now) - but they were not mine, just posed beside them. While for the big bike, I posed beside a '93 Yamaha 750cc FZR model - my cousin's . . . C'mon now mate show me your photoooooooooooooos please !
