Yeah I cut the speed limit sign off. Saw that bicycle on Anderson RD made me think about Casey Stoner and HONDA winning MOTOGP :D :D :D :D :D

That's OK, anyone actually dumb enough to want a Honda wouldn't be able to figure that out anyhow.

The guy needs to oil his chain more. That looks quite rusty to me...

When was the last time Mother Kaw won a Championship at the world level anyway?
Answer: Andrew Pitt won the world supersport in 2001.
The last time on the big stage was with Scott Russell back in 1993.
They had a bit more luck in the US, winning AMA Superbike Championships as recently as 1997.
Since 1997...crickets...
I think they've had some success at the AMA SuperSport level, but I'm not going to go digging through a bunch of pdfs to find out. It would seem that the AMA runs their website as well as they ran the roadracing program. :pukeface:

All I ask to you Honda haters: just don't knock the XR650R! I love that thing! ;D

Dump 1k on the HRC ;D Or buy a KLR, add a Q4 FMF, and .22 cents! Kawi rules :cannon: :cannon: :cannon:

Easy now my friend I'm a HONDA lover! Thats why I posted this thread. Plus I have one in the stable too, it keeps my Kawi reliable, that and KiPass (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif)

This season really was dominated by Honda, I'm thinking Rossi really wonders why he did what he did. They are still a coupla years from having a competitive bike. With the pending rule changes for next year we should see some real racing, similar to what we see in the 250 class.

Kawi had a bike kind of like your XR, but a bit more "streeted" called the KLX650. The color schemes that Kawasaki chose made it one of the ugliest bikes ever sold--right up there with the Honda VTR250. Red plastics & tank with a purple frame or black with a teal frame.

Oh, if I get another XR, I'll dump a LOT into that thing! I'll have a KLR to go along with it. ;D
That's when I'm older though. The XR is a friggen rocket. I'd know, I've been riding it as my main dirtbike since I was 15 (rode it a couple times when I was 13 and 14)... But the KLR would be a nice addition.

Oh, I know it! Remember that thread all about your XR650? Yeah. I liked that. ;D

Can't wait for it! I'm jittering just thinking about it!

Yeah, I've seen it. It's like an ugly XR650L. Don't care for the L as an off road bike, nor do I care for the KLX650 for an off roader. Honda has their own "streeter version" of the XR650R. It's called the "Honda XR650L." Funny how that works. If I wanted an XR650L I'd have one. But I have the R for a reason. It's not trying to be a dual sport. It's just a dirtbike.
But, that's beside the point:
Did I ask your opinion? No. I didn't. I'm on here because I like the people and I know a few of them. I've been to COG nationals and I make parts for the C-10 and C-14. "How?" You may ask. My father is the guy that's developed and designed all KB products, some of which went under the name of "Murph's" such as "Murph's bar ends" and "Highway pegs." I worked my ass off in his machine shop to buy my first dirtbike, a 1998 XR100R when I was 9. I've been around this group of guys for over half my life. (Dad joined COG when I was 8, Obviously, I was introduced to them.)
And I'm pretty sure that most if the guys on here think it's nice that a 17 year old (15 when I got on here) can have the balls to post on a forum dominated by the 35-55 year old age bracket and never have to get corrected of his ways. Get off my ass.
I really couldn't give a rat's fuzzy little ass about your opinions anymore. And I'm less than 1/2 your age. And again, on this thread I will not reply to you again AZ "Biker." I appreciate your invitation to advrider.com, but I prefer the guys here. Most of the guys here are pretty stellar. Funny how you got here, isn't it? ???

Had a Honda once, found the best way to slow it down was to wait for parts on back-order.

#1 "lighten up Francis."
#2 I love Hondas too, this 86 still taking names.

I was just kidding about the "Honda hate," jeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz guyssssssssssss.
I remember a thread about that 86 CBR... Very nice bike. :thumbs:

That 86 is sweet sweet!

I currently have 2 Honda ATV's. An 01 and an 02. All I do is change the oil, they just work. Also had 2 Honda bikes, both cruisers, a VTX and a Valkyrie. Again, change the oil and they just work. I'm on the C14 because I wanted to move to an ST bike and the Honda ST1300 was just too old. But I still think Honda rocks!

Yea and without KiPass keeping them going (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif)

OH GOD, KiPASS...
If you're out there, Honda, please, don't make a HiPASS. Thank you. :)
-
They already have a HiPass, sorta... called HISS... had it for years... just don't have the FOB, still use a key.
-
What? I haven't heard of it.

I had an '86 with a Yosh 4-1. What a great howl that bike had when you cranked her up.

Nice!

Do US bikes have the HISS? Looks like they don't--a good thing IMHO.
-
Looks like HISS is strictly an overseas option... I know the Wing has a FOB that'll lock/unlock the trunk, set off the horn, and such, like a car FOB.

Well yay for American Honda then!!! ;D

I am a Honda man to the core - I just think the ST bike is too ugly to live, and I didn't want to oil the chain on the VFR. I am very happy with my Connie. But, I am currently putting together an 84 Nighthawk 700s as a dual sport to do the Prudoe Bay-to-Key West run.
-
Easiest way to slow down a Honda is a 3' thick concrete wall. :banghead:
Personally, I've never met a Honda I did like.
Bought a CB750F2 back in the early 80's and Px-ed it on a Z1300 after just 2 months.
Honda excel at making BLAND bikes.
They may be fast but and extremely capable, but....... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Each to their own I guess, but I would choose almost any other brand before I bought a Honda.

I couldn't fathom the ST either but loves me some HONDA, good luck on the Nighthawk, hope you post sopme pics in the "Its not a Connie" section. The Honda in my avatar went around tracks all over living at red line and never gave a hint of a problem :D

I felt that way not too long after buying my VTX. But the Valkyrie is one of the most beautiful cruisers ever made IMHO. I sold my Valk to my son and to this day when we pull into a parking lot he has people come over to admire his Valkyrie. They don't even glance at my C14.
-
I owned a 05 ST1300... it was a really nice ride, and considering what was available at the time for the money (and what I got it for), a great bike. It ate up the miles... just put gas in it... change the oil... slap tires on it... it never complained.
Now, for the money, it isn't a great buy considering what is available.
-
I liked my dad's ST13. I fell asleep a number of times on the back it was so comfy. ;D
When we went to the COG rally in 2007 on it, we would go down the mountains and he'd pull the clutch in and set the MPG computer to change every 10 seconds. We were getting better gas mileage than a Prius! And then significantly less.
-
It was actually because of the Honda ST1300 that I now ride a C14. I had only ridden cruisers and in the summer of 09 I flew to NH for a wedding and a week of riding with family. I went to Eagle Riders and a place in Nashua had a ST1300 for rent. That was my first time on an ST type bike and I couldn't believe the difference in performance over any cruiser I had ever ridden. So I started looking at ST type bikes and the ST1300 was an old design, The BMW K1300GT was too expensive and I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be on a test ride, so it was FJR or C14. I test rode the C14 and instantly fell in love with it.

From what I understand, it's also pretty friggen fast. :o
