Learned on an 04 Monster 620. Just enough pep to be really fun and not get me into too much trouble. Came with a pre-dented tank and scuffed up sliders. Was 100% reliable for the two years I owned her. This god ray image has a nice nostalgic touch to it
Near the end of my ownership run I converted the Monster into a clip-oned cafe racer. It looked awesome, but I hated how uncomfortable it had become. She went back to stock and was sold a couple months later.
Meaning to buy something bigger/more practical/more comfy, I took a test ride on this 09 Daytona and was smitten. Speed!
After 7 months of ownership and a pathetically small amount of miles, I sold the Daytona and bought my current steed, a white 08 Street Triple. This bike is the absolute balls. She is a fast little minx and I am in love everytime I ride. In two months, I've ridden almost double the miles I put on the Daytona. All the power with amazing all day comfort. She absolutely rocks.
2007 Buell XB12... Loud as hell and enough torque to get into a whole lot of trouble in a hurry but a constant maintenance nightmare. ECM decided to die on I-75 @80mph and filled both cylinders with fuel, wheel bearings shit the bed after 3k miles, Ignition switch shorted out and I had to re-solder the connections, volt reg died 2 times in as many months. The list goes on and on. So I sold it and got the Striple :nod:
Some of my previous bikes,Harley heritage softail x3,harley Duece,Harley roadking,harley 1200 sportster,Harley v rod,kawasaki zzr 1000 x 2,Suzuki rf 900,yamaha xv920,yamaha 1100 virago,Honda vfr 800,honda cbr 600,ducati monster.Quite an assortment!
First bike was a Hyosung GT250, had it for a year. Stock standard, with holes drilled through the pipe lol sounded like a sloppy fart. Dropped it countless times and high sided it once. Still sold it for the same amount as I bought it :cool2:
Second bike was a 2008 Husaberg FS650e, had it for about 18 months, really regret selling it. Had so much fun on it, backin it in, slidin it out, wheelies... One day I plan on having another big bore motard....:verysad:
Third, and current, bike is a 2008 Daytona. have had it since June last year. Haven't done much to it, other than a PCIII and a Competition Werkes slip on. I'm definitely keeping this one a while :thumbup:
Will be adding this to the stable tomorrow......2007 KTM 950SMR Only 1500 miles and its like brand spanking new! This is gonna be fun. Now the hard part is deciding which one to take out on the weekends.....

Eh. I typically hug the tank too. But I got short arms. I'm hoping a custom dish in my seat later this summer will help that out some and get me to be able to flatfoot the Daytona all the time instead of just when the center tread gets low.
My 1098, ZX-6R... just parted this 10R out this week. But hands down the 636 is the best bike i have in the stable for doing everything, then again nothing has been left untouched.
