Post a picture of your 2 wheel ride😁

2005 turbo Hayabusa made 468HP which was ok in 2005 but they are making big power now.

My most powerful motorcycle only has 182 hp, it's really more than I should be allowed. 50 hp would be a lot safer lol

My first, 2002 Yamaha Warrior w/ Stage 4 kit
My wife's Yamaha 600
MV Agusta 910R
Aprilla RSV100R Factory
Harley CVO V-Rod
Ducati 1098R
My last, Ducati Streetfighter

Oddly, I couldn't find a pic of my 2002 Hayabusa

Started late in life and rode for a dozen years. Sold the Streetfighter and stopped after too many friends were killed or seriously injured and I kept thinking about my young daughter being without a dad. One was killed by a young girl who left turned into him and another was knocked off by a deer leaping across the road. Hit him broadside and fractured his pelvis. He was in rehab for a very long time and never walked without assistance again.

That was when I lived in NJ. Overpopulated with deer and texting drivers. Every time I hear a bike I feel the strong urge to ride again. In PA now and seriously considering another. My daughter is older now. Visited several dealerships over the Winter but didn't pull the trigger yet. I really enjoyed modding them and every ride was like a Zen experience.

The Busa has always been a great platform for huge turbo power...always knew if I.went that route,,,I never would have seen 60...

2009 YZF R1 power to weight, is so much fun on these. handle like having hold of a joystick. 1st gear jail sentence. But when you really must get a rise in under 30 seconds. it's the ticket.

I have a 2014 R1. Wife asked me why I like it so much.

Simple, its borderline committing suicide every time I ride it, but when I cheat death and get back alive again, I feel really alive, and invigorated, smiling like a damn fool. You either get it, or you don't...there is no in between.
I've nearly killed myself on it 300 times, but OMG when I cheat death it feels like such a rush.

That's exactly it! you said it all. + it's like having sex with a gorgeous women while doing it LMAO. ( I get it also) I guess that's how a bullet feels!

I have a crew we ride with...when we split up for home...its not unusual for me to stay out for an hour or so by myself...I actually get into a surreal zone that they wouldn't understand.

I prefer to ride alone. others make me have to watch out for them, I want to just watch my own tricks. set my own stunts.

If we are talking what have we owned that was wild, than I can enter this one. I believe the torque was 140 ft-lb, it sounded like a two cylinder monster, because it was! I created it myself. The rolling chassis was a War Eagle Frame with sheet metal etc. from some crooks in Kentucky. Then I ordered the rest of it and we put it together. It won Best of Class at Sturgis and also in St Paul at Donnie Smith’s show in the amateur class. It got a trophy in his pro class the next year. It maybe weighed 500 pounds. Since it had an overdrive I had them put numerically higher drive gears on it. It was very, very quick.

Mines been massaged a little. It's hard to keep the front down at this speed. It's also hard on the seat upholstery LOL

Big difference between 150...and 200...how does it pull from 150

It was a money pit. The new Hellcat in ‘15 made it easy.

The real reason? Scared the piss out of me blowing off my neighbor’s new Z06 one night after I just got done earning his new top speed on it. Then we drove them around together. I was especially upset after he stopped and made sure he reminded me I as a crazy MF.
