I swear I have never seen this many people with antique bikes in one place.. Dont get me wrong I think your bikes look nice, but they have old school technology.
Will a 1000F do 100 in first gear? How much does your bike weigh? 700 lbs? I mean I have seen people that weigh more than my bike.. I guess all in all it comes down to the fact that you have what was cream of the crop in the 90s but you have to understand that my bike is the best there is to offer. The '08-'10 model 1000RR out performs all previous year 1000's and wont be bested for a while.
I do have to say that you have a lot of work in your bike, I mean that much 20+ year old plastic has to be a pain to keep in good shape... you probably have enough plastic on one side of those 1000Fs to make the body work for 2-3 1000RRs. and the double cans are a thing of the past... or a thing a vtwin should have... or a gixxer.. wait, didnt the 2010 gixxer have two cans? I think it did... so I would have to call the 1000F the gixxer of the Liter Hondas... you all think about that when voting... vote for the real liter bike or the gixxer liter bike.....
hahaha... in all seriousness you all have nice bikes, I wish you all the best of luck, this has turned into a really close race...

It was all jesting there cbrsixpack... I am amazed at how well kept you and the others have been able to keep these bikes... I used to have a 1990 VTR250 and it had all the same body work cues and was a pain to keep clean. I loved the bike, Honda did a lot of big things back then for the sportbike genre..
Once again good luck with the next 4 days..

We have a secret weapon but doctoring votes isn't it - we just have a lot of us on "our museum pieces" as they have been called, by some.
They don't all get on the forum every day, so it takes time to get it all together.......................they do say that antiques are also a lot more valuable than modern stuff - something to do with quality and being well-loved and cared for, I guess...............
And like a good wine, taste improves with the age of the vintage.............
And if Steve-o sees you've stolen his couch, Chuckbear, there'll be hell to pay !!
