nice. I had one a while ago, just had to have it for a little while.

My dad's wound up being his first attempt at chopping a bike. he bought it brand new. crashed it by sliding under a semi trailer when the driver pulled out in front of him. next thing we knew the body work was hanging in the shed with a fresh coat of Krylon. the forks got longer the "sissy bar" on the back got huge. he put on some wild ass pipes, it was interesting.

2003 CBR 600 RR. I loved that bike from the moment I laid eyes on her.

I didn't know what type of bike it was or even what a Lucky Strike was but I clipped every picture I could find of this race team's bike out and stuck it on my wall when I was 15. I'm sure my parents were thrilled.

Check out the old school boots!

Suzuki rgv250. Grey market imported ones appear from time to time on www.raresportsbikesforsale.com you can still make that dream a reality ;)

:lol: yeah I remember seeing those wondering how such a kick-ass machine could have such a small pipe :lol:

You sure that isn't Alex Barros on the 500?

Edited to add: I first noticed bikes around 1985 when Honda was advertising the Interceptor and Suzuki was doing the same with the GSX-R, but at that point I just thought they looked cool. I took notice again around 90 or 91 when one of the bike mags put out an article with tuner bikes. If I remember there was a turbo Hurricane, a turbo ZX-11, and a few other bikes. Again if I remember correctly they were running around 190+ top speeds and it really caught my attention. All that stuff was nibbles though. Seeing, and more importantly hearing, a Ducati 851 with an exhaust on it really set the hook. That was almost 20 years ago and I can still recall the "What the fuck is that thing!" feeling.

Possible, I only see two pipes though due to lean

I would let you have your way with my mom for one of those. I seen one once, made me do a double take trying to figure out what it was

I have seen two, owned by the same family. It's a couple and they were matching leathers. It's pretty gay.
