Hondas are by far the most reliable of the big 4. They just tend to lack the soul that the other 3 have. LOL!!!
What was your 1st streetbike dr? Mine was a '75 Zook GT550. The speedo went up to 120 mph!!! Woo-hoo! I learned to ride on that heap at age 18. Worked on it myself too-it's amazing I'm still alive cuz I rode that thing like it was my Mongoose BMX. My 1st fast bike was an 86 Yamama Fazer 700 aka baby v-max. Since then I had a Zook GS1200 set up for the strip with Nos, an 86 v-max, 98 v-max, 98 ZX-11, 98 Bandit 1200 Streetfighterized and a '00 ZX-12. Now we just need to get you some pitbulls and you could be my long lost brother. lol
First bike i bought was a 1993 gsxr 750. the black and pink and purple bike. Rode it for about a year and bought a 98 xz9. love it also.
Here about 1999-2002 is where i was buying and selling a lot of bikes to make some profit. But the only bikes i kept and rode of my own were those two bikes then my first REAL powerhouse......i bought myself a 2001 gsxr1000, it was a bank repo, got it cheap but it was basically a brand new bike. I had ridden 12k miles or so before i had it and hadn't wrecked. Well about 30 miles into my first ride on the new gsxr1k i high sided it due to some loose gravel in a sharp left hander. about 1500 worth of plastics damage and a fucked up foot.
got it fixed and then sold it, turned around and bought me a 2002 gsxr1k the red/black/silver one, loved it too. then sold it for a honda cbr900rr(99). rode it for a while then bought a 2002 cbr954rr for real cheap!! This was probably my all time favorite bike as i got it for very cheap and it was in perfect shape. I redlined that fucker pretty much everywhere i went, it was a tough motherfucker for sure. Hell i'd get on it and just try and blow it up. ride 1st gear wheelies at redline for over a mile. it was a hell of a bike.
then here comes a turning point in my life. i clutched it up in 2nd, went to third and was floating a nice standup at about 90mph when all hell broke loose. car came over, friend didn't get out of my way way up in front etc etc. anyways, i set it down and had to break to keep from hitting the car and tankslapped her good(no steering dampner on that model). i was riding in gym pants and a t-shirt also. so a few skin grafts later, 2 pins in my wrist, 2 in my knee and a bone graft from my hip to my foot along with 4 pins there i was out of the hospital! I couldn't train at all, i got hooked on G as i laid around and couldn't do shit and chased a buzz all day, life pretty much hit rock bottom.............long story i know.
anyways, i kicked the addiction, bought me the new cbr1000rr you see there, got my life back in order, hit the gym and got bigger and in better shape than i have ever been and life is good!
now when i ride wheelies i got on riding coat, gloves and jeans..........lol
needless to say im lucky to be alive but i still ride and still don't mind a good stand up down the interstate!
also, I had numerous 600cc bikes in the past years but only had them long enough to sell them
