What do you like most about your bike(s)?

I have a 1999 CBR600F4 and I like it because it's plenty fast, it's comfortable, it has quite enough of storage space and it's pretty cheap to maintain (and buy). Being an older bike I can tinker around with it and try new stuff without breaking the bank. I hardly ever like OEM colors so I painted the -once yellow- bike black (never done it before so it was fun to do. I will repaint it though with better paint this summer), got some decals made and found cheap bits and bobs to make it a one of a kind (tinted screen, carbon slip-on). Even though it's an older bike, it has a nice shape too.

The storage and comfort are a few of the more important things for me because I don't have a car and I can carry around what I need. The seat stores a disk lock, a little towel (to wipe of the seat when wet), luggage net, some bungy cords, my Scottoiler V-System, a box with fuses, OEM toolset and room to spare.

Regarding the bike itself, It's nimble and parts are plentiful (where I live that is) and most of all (it being a Honda and all) when I sit on it I feel at home. I've ridding plenty of other bikes but Honda really nailed the seating position on most bikes (excluding the RR for me. I'm too tall). Also, it hasn't let me down it a big way yet. Little blown fuse here, little tail light going out there, but nothing major. I've put around 15k on it since I got it last June and do all the maintenance myself (which I learned to do with this bike).

I guess the main thing for me is that the F4 is a very good sporty allrounder and that's the reason why I got it. My next bike will probably be the 2011 F and that's due to the F4 being such a good bike. I'll never sell the F4 though. It's my baby!

So what is it that you like about your bike(s)? What is is that made you say **** yeah! I WANT IT (and I want to keep it)!!

 

I love everything about my bike.

I only dislike the right side fairings right now cause they are rashed but everything else i love.

 

Ok well.. (I'm guessing you didn't get the white fairings then?)

Anyone else? Be a bit more specific than this guy please.

 

I absolutely love my bike because it has two wheels and not four.

 

 

Not yet. I was going to order them when i got paid on the 15th but since the govt may shut down ill only be getting half of my normal pay. If that happens it will be atleast a month before i can even order them.

I think people arent saying much cause it comes down to loving everything about it. Haha

 

Yup, had a feeling this thread might fail...

People can still be specific even if they love everything about it. I was wondering more in the lines of "I bought the RR because I love how it handled and I'll be going to the track a lot." or "I bought the XX because I love the power and I enjoy sport touring."

Didn't think it would be that hard..

 

Well what made you get the FS over the RR, F4 and newer models?

 

Which bike do you have and why did you get that specific model?

Come on people. Play along!

 

phuc it ill give u a little more....i used to always want a gsxr like everyone else did...not cuz everyone else had one, but because i heard a lot of good things about them. then i started reading on bikes when my friend decided he wanted to sell his (the 07 6rr i have now), and after reading the results of the supershootout on motorcycle usa and saw that the honda was actaully voted the number one bike for that year, and y they voted it that, i fell in love....the undertail exhaust has been my fav look since they came out with it..made it feel like it should be on the track, the smaller lighter more aggresive stance of the honda made me love it more too as i like more nimble machines, the honda name is notorious in its self, once i looked into every detail of the bike i fell in love with it as a whole, the feeling i get when im riding it is that no other bike can touch me, thats y i love it
