I expect many Coupe owners will have an engine with 2 wheels in the garage.... so I wondered if the forum mods would allow a motorbike thread?

A few guys I met on the last Coupe meet had bikes, so would be nice to compare notes.

PS, if there already is one, please point me to it.

There have been quite a lot of them over the years, here's one of them.

To get started finding them, try doing an advanced search using "motorcycle" in the title or body and "AndrewR" as the poster. He contributes to most of them.

Start a new bike thread by all means too.

It's been two years since I had a bike

Well, I've still got *most* of a 1991 VFR750 in the garage, but it's been 2 years since I had a bike that could be ridden.

I've been thinking about getting another one, but:

1. The wife really isn't keen on me having a coop and a bike at the same time ("You can only have one toy!")

2. I really wouldn't get much chance to ride one - I do some combination of picking up or dropping off Jamie (4 this month) most days, so I'd have to travel by car. I started taking my daughter to school by bike when she was 7, so probably another 3 or so years before I could get back to using a bike on a daily basis.

I had a choice of super mint Ducati 748BP in Duke red or the wife... some days I wish I could get the bike out again

I had a lovely duke 749 in yellow with all the extras best bike ever and it's worth the swap lol.

Just getting my vtr1000 ready from winter storage.

Roll on the nice weather.

MMMM.

I am in the same position.

Got a Coupe (on a whim)
Got a small campervan... but rubbish on fuel, so don't use it much but cant bear to sell it...
Missus has the main car
I have Kawasaki Versys 650 in the garage.

At least one will have to go....

In the past I've had a VFR800 VTEC - great bike. Pity about the fuel economy. A Fazer 600, a Thundercat 600 and 2 Versys 650s. Just like twins I guess !

I've been toying with the idea of buying another Aprillia rsvr (the early one) but saw a horrific bike accident on the way home from work last night. Truly shocking, I've seen the aftermath of a few minor ones before but this was head on on a national speed limit road. The guy passed me a mile or so earlier and was riding like a bit of a nob ie erratic overtaking and no life savers. Poor sod, can't seem to find out how damaged he was though.

Think I'll hang on for the time being.

Is your vtr the firestorm or sp1/2 Shaun?

Always fancied an sp

I have a Suzuki RF600RV with 100BHP on tap and 147mph potential. A very capable marmite-bike with futuristic styling (flared ass and fairing louvres). I love it and liken it to ma 'beastie'.

Ohh, the Ferrari Testarossa louvres... yes I like the old RF... didn't they do a 900 too?

Yep, but the 600 is the better package
