Ever since I was a little kid I've been into bikes. I currently own two bikes.

The first bike I bought was a 2001 Yamaha DT 230. I bought it in April of 2003 and it never missed a beat. I am in the process of getting a tuned expansion chamber and new muffler to get that little extra out of the two-stroke powerplant. It doesnt get used as much as I'd like to but it's there and bugger me is it willing. When I used to ride it to work, it would easily drag off your run of the mill four bangers and on occasion the odd six pot Ford Falcons.

The second bike is a 2003 Hyosung Comet GT250. I purchased this right off the showroom floor late November 2003. I really wanted a bike to do some serious touring on over Christmas and a trail bike is no good on the old arse for anything over 20km. This is one of the fastest production 250's on the market at the moment and with the sports pipe I had fitted it easily creams most cars off the line. I spent 3 days over christmas riding through the Victorian high country, clocked up a good 1800km and the bike never even looked like packing it in.

It now has a little over 5600km on it and its still going strong.

That yamaha looks good, but are those big mirrors really necessary, the only bike I have is my moutain bike!!!
 
I started to really like the chopper look, I have a friend at school that's heavily into them. I saw one from his mag that was sick! I'm gonna get that pic from him and I'll post it later. edit: There's no way in hell I'd actually ride one though. :nervous:
 
I have a Kawasaki KM100. I forgot the year but there's hardly any scratches or anything. There's 1100 some miles on it. I can't find pictures of another one like it anywhere.
 
I use to, but I don't anymore. I gave it up after I had back problems, my first kid and after a friend of mine was killed on his bike.
 
I'm in to dirt bikes mostly. I use to have a I have an 03 Yamaha TT-R250, but I sold it to a buddy of mine. I recently bought a Yamaha YZF450, Yamaha was having one helluva sale. My dad also has an older Yamaha dirt bike not sure what it is.

This summer I'm looks at buying an actual bike, I'm looking closely at an R6 but I'm not sure how that will work out. I really like the Buell bikes but not the price.

I really would like a sport bike ir a "crotch rocket" for those of you who don't know what a sports bike is. If anyone has some suggestions I'd like to hear em.
