NOT WITHOUT MY TWO WHEELS

I know this doesn't intrest many of you, but I'm not saying you have to read it either ;) Bikes. So I test rode two little rockets on the weekend; a Ducati Monster 696 and a Honda CBR 600. It is time to let my baby GSXR go soon, my man thinks the 1000cc's is too much for me. I don't. But I know that my man probably has more brains (and sense) than me, so I agreed to test ride somethings new. And truth be told, I had a lot of fun.



Honda CBR 600

This little sexy thing was amazing- I couldn't over the rocket swish sound it gave off. Felt similar to the GSXR in handling, but it doesn't pull as hard as the GSXR when you open it up. I was told I would hardly be able to tell the difference in power between the 1000cc's and the 600cc's on a sportsbike. Lie. I definately could, even though the 600 has more than enough power for me. If I'm being sensible... (which I'm not)





Ducati Monster 696

Beautiful, isn't it? It's a Ducati. That usually does it for most people, but let me tell you I wasn't convinced at first. Now keeping in mind that I ride a sportier type bike that this - not as upright and completely different dimensions. But after I got used to this very small, nimble thing I began having a lot of fun on the road. I can almost compare this to a Cocker Spaniel; it does whatever you want it to do. Opened it up, and even though it's no way near as neck-snapping as the CBR, this thing does have balls. Very easy, comfertable, FUN.





Triumph Speed Triple

I have this booked in for next weekend. A Triumph. Looks wise this is not a bike for me. Baby almost bought one of these before bringing home his beloved Buell 1125CR. He loves them and convinced me to give it a go. Can't hurt. But I am not in general a fan of naked bikes, and this one's headlights are too old skool for me. But hey, if it's a good ride... ;)






Kawasaki Z750

...and a long with the Triumph I am giving this one a test run next weekend too. I love the look of this bike. As I said before not a "naked bike" person, but this sits somewhere in between. Since I haven't ridden any of these two last ones I am mainly judging cosmetically, which is wrong, but I don't have much else to go by as of yet. The sit of this bike was very comfertable. And I would feel more comfertable ona sexy looking bike. I'm vain, but at least I know it. If this became mine I would definately change the exhaust. And those stupid rearview mirrors. Will give you a reviewed update of these two last ones after the weekend.
