I know you guys are getting old! So what kind of geriatric hooptie's are you guys riding? I'm currently on a Rocker C I added a fairing to (I know sacrilege) and a mild mannered KTM 1290R. It is like getting off a tractor and sliding into a twin turbo 66 Cobra. Some days I want to consolidate into 1, either a Rocket 3, HD ST, or a Indian Challenger, but I feel like I will be spending money to be disappointed.

I still have my 04 ZX-10R, but haven't ridden it in years. Life has been too busy with kids and stuff and not going to an office for years meant I rarely go anywhere alone. I'd like to find some time to do track days again, but that's going to be a while I think.

I love the ZX10's. I told someone the other day that there is literally no reason to make these things any faster. This KTM is brutal and I ride it in sport mode.Whos your Daddy?Comment

For sure! My 04 ZX-10R is STUPID fast and the new ones have another 30+ HP over mine. They do have a lot of things mine doesn't have though like traction control, wheelie control, ABS, etc. so mine feels really raw and like it wants to kill you at times.Originally posted by kingjason View PostOriginally posted by stevoComment

Currently riding a 2007 BMW R1200RT, 1988 BMW R100GS, 2004 Kawasaki ZX12R, 2004 Yamaha Wr250F, have a 2002 Gsxr 1000, 2008 KTM 450 EXC-R (going back together as a 530), & 2005 Harley Electra Glide projects
I've had the R1200rt 11 months now and it's by far the nicest overall bike I've ever owned and ridden. It's not sportbike fast but runs well, the lower center of gravity makes it feel more comfortable in the corners than my ZX12 or any previous sportbikes I've owned, and the brakes are the best I've ever had as far as feel and controlled stopping power. I've been to Florida, east Texas, and Arkansas on 3 different rides.
I'm looking forward to trying out the EXC, I bought it not running from a friend and it ended up with the top ring stuck from sitting. So after seeing some of the issues the 08 had, I split the cases to remedy the potential oiling issues, swapping the jug / piston and supporting parts for a 530 upgrade, and hoping it's a fun run around bike for the country roads I live around.Comment

I have always heard good things about those BMW's.
I uh, ended up with a pristine 1700 mile Buell 1125R to go with the Rocker. I actually pulled the fairing on the Rocker and really have enjoyed it more now. So, I have two of Harleys bastard 08's! KTM just has too many issues with their bikes and I wanted another twin sport bike.Whos your Daddy?Comment
