Post Your Motorcycle

[itBurnsWhenIPee]

That's right. There is a post your car thread, but we need a post your motorcycle thread! :biggrin: (Please try to keep this thread discussion in regards to motorcycles )

My First Bike:
1998 Honda CBR900RR
-> Lamborghini White Custom Paint.
-> GSXR1000 K4 Tail Custom Fitted.
-> Fender Eliminator Kit with Hot Bodies Undertail
-> VFR750 Rear Single Swing Arm
-> Powdercoated Wheels (CBR900RR Front Wheel / VFR750 Rear Wheel)
-> Chromed Frame, Sub Frame, Fairing Stay, and Swing Arm
-> Micron Header / Blue-Flame Exhaust which was switched to a Muzzy Exhaust later on.
-> Chromed Windscreen
-> 12000K HID's
Literally, a one-of-a-kind bike. I sold it because the mileage was getting up there; 33,000.

My Second Bike:
2006 Kawasaki ZX6R 636
-> Powdercoated Blue Wheels to Match Fairings
-> Yoshi RS-5 Full Exhaust
-> Blue Chain
-> Blacked-out Windscreen
-> APE Manual Cam Chain Tensioner
-> Integrated Taillight with Fender Eliminator Kit
-> Debadged
-> 10000K HID's
-> Corbin Leather Seat
I first tore her down to frame and motor..

Then I built her up to a beautiful piece of work..

This is me standing by my bike, and my dads old bike; a Buell XB9S:

And My Current Bike:
2010 Kawasaki Z1000 "The Urban Legend"
-> Rhino Moto Bar Ends
-> CRG Bar End Mirror
-> Vance & Hines Urban Brawler Exhaust
-> Integrated Taillight with Fender Eliminator
-> Debadged / Rebadged to "Z1043" (actual cc size; 1043cc)
-> Blacked-out Front Turn Signals
-> 12000K HID's

In the future, I would like to get a Ducati Diavel to replace my current bike, and get a ZX6R, CBR600RR, or GSXR600 and convert it to a Track-Only Bike, or, if funds don't allow for the Diavel, simply keep what I currently have and follow suite with getting a track bike.

I love riding, it's the joy of my life, and I always wear my gear

Do tricycles count?

Edit: Don't care, posting tricycle anyways.

I used to own a motorcycle like this. But I forgot to take care of it and lock it up. Then a brony stole it.

Here's my baby, a Suzuki Boulevard M50, 2009 Special Edition

Nice Boulevard.

Here's a picture of my old mans Boulevard M109R he lets me take out a few times when he craves to ride my Z1000...

Just has 6000K HID's, Fender Eliminator Kit, Debadged, LED Rear Turn Signals, and Hollowed-out Exhaust.

I updated my first post with all (or most) of the mods I did to each of my bikes, and added more pictures.

Don't we already have a post your motorcycle thread??

My first bike that was stolen. 2008 GSX-R 600

2003 CBR600RR

Sorry to hear about the Gixxer getting stolen; that style/color Gixxer is my favorite and I almost bought one after I sold my ZX6R. I hear Gixxer's are the most comfortable super sports.

Bike Year:2004
Model: Kawasaki Vulcan 2000
Eng size:2053cc
Pipes:Cobra Shorties
Seat:Mustang


Accessories:

I'm not going to try to list all the little things I've replaced on the bike with after market chrome parts. Most you can see in the pics...


And the story:


I wanted a "sleek" bike that people would stop and stare at. Something that stands out from the crowd. Something..well..different than what everybody else was ridding.

However, I wanted something that was also comfortable to ride and was also dependable. A kick ass bike that was at the same time practical. That ruled out all of those "custom" choppers.

Soo, I bought this bike new in 05. The dealer had a left over 04 model and made me a sweet deal on it. I've spent the next few years slowly "molding" it. And I'm still working on it. I don't think I'll ever finish "tweaking" it.

Before it even left the shop, I had the cobra pipes, Thunder Tornado Intake and a Power Commander installed.

I changed out the mirrors, moved the license plate to the side, removed all the light bars and installed LED blinkers. That really "streamlined" the bike.

Last year I installed a LED rear tail light that has integrated turn signals. That allowed me to remove the rear blinkers totally.

In early 07 I bought the mustang seats. Really helped my butt on those longer rides. (Remember the "practical" statement from above.)

I added the Rivco Air Horn a few years ago. It's actually kind of cool. I have a blast..well..blasting it.

I installed the sound system just a few weeks ago. The speakers are pretty darn good Polk ones, powered by a 600 watt amp. I've got a blue tooth receiver hooked up to it that syncs with my phone. This way i don't have to mount a phone/mp3 player anywhere. The blue tooth is also hooked up to a usb charger in installed, so it's always got power.

I have 48 red LED lights scattered around on the bike. It really looks nice at night. It's hard to capture that in pictures though..

I really like the color. It's a dark metallic maroon (ponch calls it root beer). In certain light, it really sparkles. I tried to capture that with the "grass" pictures.

I really want to replace the pulley. As anybody who has a vn2000 will tell ya, getting after market parts can be really difficult. Not a lot of people have this bike....

The fat man in the picture is me. The sexy blonde is my fiancee. The city in the back ground (in some of the pictures) is Galveston Texas.

All pictures were taking this weekend.

(The little bag I have on the back of the bike is a "concession" I did for the misses. She needed someplace to put her stuff...)

Sorry to hear about the Gixxer getting stolen; that style/color Gixxer is my favorite and I almost bought one after I sold my ZX6R. I hear Gixxer's are the most comfortable super sports.

I wish they would have kept that paint scheme longer then 1 year. It is the most comfortable super sport I've ridden. The only draw back to riding a Gixxer is that everyone and their mother thinks that you're a squid even if you've been riding for years.

 

[itBurnsWhenIPee]

DragonD .. what does she see in you? Haha just kidding Nice bike! That is quite the motor you're sitting on.

Meatwagon, I hear you. Gixxer = Squid .. it's sadly how they are portrayed in the motorcycle world. It's a shame, as I said, I like the new(er) Gixxer's. Just gotta ignore all the smack talk I guess.


Me and my dad switched bikes today and I took his M109R (1783cc) while he rode my Z1000 (1043cc). That big frickin cruiser is NO FUN! I was scraping pegs/boots barely leaning at all (As the picture shows). And, at slow speed maneuvering ... FORGET IT! >_< Thank God I have my sport bike.

 

[DragonD]

Burns,

that bike your riding sure does appear to be low to the ground. I can see why you scrape...

 

[itBurnsWhenIPee]

Yeah .. he lowered it 2 inches. He has to take it easy on the turns now, but the bike is so damn big, no point in trying to get low anyways. x_x

Cruisers just ain't for me yet.

Here's his Before and After Pic:

Aftermarket pipe is next on his list.

Well my Puch Maxi looks pretty much like this. It goes to around 40 mp/h, and is quite fun to drive around on, nothing compared to big motercycles tho


I'm not allowed to drive a motorcylcle till I'm 18/21 depending if i get a license for this or not...
