I've attached a picture of my SV650N from 1999. Bought it as barely running, fixed it, and I use it for twisty roads in the countryside and track days. I also have a BMW F650CS that I just got running (same story there, got it cheap because of the problems), have only ridden it three times so far, don't have a picture of it yet. I like it, plan to do some commuting and longer trips with it (more comfortable than the SV, also more fuel efficient), and I'll bring it to the track too, it's as light and nimble as the SV, so it will probably be a lot of fun on the track!
My very first motorcycle was a Kawasaki GPX250R from 1994, a great bike for learning. Since then I've also had a Suzuki RGV250, Honda XR600R, Yamaha XT600E, Yamaha FZ750 and a Yamaha TDM850.

Love the bikes, but at 78, unless it's a three wheeler, I'm stuck with a car. LOL.

I don't take photos of my car much at all, really, and I was way too lazy to go out and take one now :^)
But here's a photo from a road trip I went on in April - it's the only photo I found that featured the car (or some of it anyway). Ha ha.

Nice. That's a Hyundai Coupe (or Tiburon/Tuscani), right?
Comment has been collapsed.
I found the design of this model quite appealing. Was a very popular model here, too (before it was superseded by the Genesis Coupe, at least).
I knew it went by different names according to market as is often the case, so just double checked before I posted that :D

I always thought it's just "Tiburon" because of NFS: Underground 2, but couldn't find any for sale and then figured out they're just "Coupe" here.

Great engines in those Kwakers of yours. BTW: Did you know, that ER6 based bikes basicaly took over the Supertwin category in road racing? And strangely the Versys swingarm is usualy used, since it is more stiff.
I don't ride on roads anymore, but I plan to buy DR-Z 400 SM, just to have fun on country roads and small tracks nearby. Best bike I've ridden is Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K9 in WEC Stock Spec, for me it was quite a beast .. :)

The engines are great, that's why I bought he versys. It's the same engine as the er6 but with different tweaks so torque is more powerfull. I did loose a tiny bit of horsepower but not complaining. Loved the er6 but needed the luggage space and cases on an er6 look silly :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, i know it's the same engine, that's why I said it.. :) Sadly I've ridden only er6, nice nimble thing. I only did not like the vibrations around 4000 RPM, but probably that is the price to pay for more power closer to the red line. Does the Versys do that as well? Also I've seen some ER6-F with cases on, but N with big boxes tag onto it really must look silly :)

Well the vibration depends on what build year you've driven. When I had it I was active on the forums and peeps there said that the first builds had the vibrations and kawasaki fixed it by adding rubber grips to mount the engine. There was also a vacuum mod which I did, involved connecting 2 hoses to a new t-section. I'm not a pro mechanic but it was easy and I never had any problems with the er6. the mod made the rpm much more stable. And the bike more responsive. No problems with the versys. I bought the versys in very bad condition and fixed her up over some weeks.

Oh, the joys of working on your bike and mechanical sympathy riding it.. I miss that, always found it strangely compelling.. :)

I haven't driven much lately but i got myself a '10 Chevy Camaro unfortunately it looks exactly like this one... with some more dust on it XD
And my dad's given me his '67 Impala but i'm still taking my time fixing that car :l (costs a fortune though)
**EDIT: I don't ride bikes cause well.. i such with a bicycle ... i don't think a bike will do me any better with higher speed T_T

I'm not that into alfa, I like the exterior but really dislike their interiors :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
The 147, back when it was new, was said to have the best interior of an Alfa in a very long time. I like it. The only thing I hate really is the visibility...but I guess that's an issue with most modern cars.

Sweet rides! I'm not into bikes because A) I don't have money, B) Good bike trips need you to go really early in the morning to avoid traffic and I'm really sleepy and C) I'm rather clumsy and live in one of the most dangerous countries to drive in the world (certified by Waze). So yeah, a couple of older cousins of mine bought some bikes and got into that hobby, me? I'm just barely making enough time for gaming :P

I guess there's not really a "safe" country for motorcycling anyway. I notice on my bike that I have to be alert at all times. You wouldn't believe what I've seen and why some car-drivers don't see bikers... cellphone, make-up, reading newspapers, even had a guy one day who was taking on his pants while driving the highway... It's dangerous in traffic while in car but on bike, your smaller and lesser noticed you have to be awake :-)

True, a biker is way less protected so needs to be far more careful. And yes, people in cars tend to be rather careless... thankfully I have never crashed with a biker, although in my country urban bikers are mostly crazy and daredevils tbh.

That's why stay of the roads as well.. Too many close calls for my liking. But nothing can beat a late afternoon trackday on a circuit.. If you want to go fast, do it out of the public roads. But you are right, it costs a lot.. :/

here's the thread people post their cars, and then others check their ratios to see how poor they are.

Didn't make this thread in a bad way, just interested in what others on the board were driving. Owning a car/bike,... doesn't mean your rich or poor i guess :-)

My first and possibly only true love. A 1974 Audi Fox (known as the 80 to most of the world). 2-Door sedan, automatic 3-speed transmission, AM/FM radio. Started for me every time except one time when the battery was dead. Didn't start for my brothers a couple of times when they borrowed it. It looks like the first pic, except the color of the (small) second pic.
Replaced by a Honda Civic, then a VW Jetta (current).

nice cars, love the old style ones. Where I live, still many people own them or young drivers buy and restore them

Sun is shining here but I can't go outside and I'm thinking about riding my bike ofc...
What bike(s) do you drive atm and what was your first? What use do you have for it?
I mainly use it for work and events in the weekends, been thinking about roadtrip through europe for some time now. Maybe next year who knows :-)
Here's pics of mine:
1st bike - kawasaki er6-n 2006
