What's up Loki?! Remember me?

Nice bike!

 

Hey Jawknee!

Wassup!!! I thought I heard a rumor that you joined the S2k crowd. Did you ever end up getting a bike too?

It's a small board world that's for sure!

 

I had a friend w/ one, it was very fun to ride. Good luck avoiding the flashing lights in your rearview mirror, it definitely inspires anti-social riding behavior!

 

Bikes are in my sig.

The fiancee rides a '97 F3.

I totaled an '03 F4i at PIR last summer and replaced it with an '04 600RR. Hoping to add a twin to the garage sometime in the near future.

 

Ahah, I have sigs turned off.

I'm a devotee twin lover, once you go big bore V-twin, it spoils you. The new liter-fours are very grunty on the low-end these days but boy, both my RC and the 916 (which was bored to 955 by Ferraci) were freight trains.

Haven't tried anything past the F2, had two of those back in the early 90's when they first came out. The CBRs are great. easy riding position, fast and nimble (although the F2 never felt very planted) and you can neglect and abuse the heck out of them and they still keep on ticking.
