What makes me laugh is that he obviously wasn't asking our opinions, he was TELLING us which manufacturers were best.
Bearing in mind this is the man that 'rides the black widow' (although it did say 'black window' in his signature for a while, used to make me laugh everytime he posted
), and posed the question 'what's a Divvy?' only days ago..... Clearly knows [censored] all about bikes, and has the nerve to get shitty when people disagree
In all seriousness though, did you see the pictures of the 'black window' he posted? I'd be a miserable front bottom aswell if I had to ride around on that piece of shit

I thought you where joking but I have just googled it and it is called a night rod
who the hell decided to give it such a camp name.....thats nearly as bad as suzuki's intruder
"where are you going dear all dressed in black leather like that?"
"Im just off to give sebastian a ride on my night rod wont be to long, hes been asking for ages if he can sit on it but I have now decided Im going to give him a good go on it so he can appreciate how big and impressive it is"
"ok dear dont leave him walking like John Wayne, how are you getting over bike or car?"

1: Honda - Largest market share in europe, gave us the Blade, RC30, RC45, NC30, VFR etc. Best build quality.
2: Yamaha - Gave us the R1, R6, RD (various sizes, all good), 0W01.
3: Ducati - For sheer design beauty, 916/996/998 and of course the 1098 & 848, overlooking crap electrics
4: Suzuki - for the madness that is the GSXR range, and of course the RG & RGv
5: KTM - for incredible motocrossers, the awesome handling RS250, the great RSV, and the hooligan Tuono.
Fundamentally all of the above manufacturers make great bikes that actually excell in some area of PERFORMANCE. Admitedly the first list features some much better options if you wish to plow a field, or cover the nations roads in oil, or if you just have a strange polishing fetish!
Oh, by the way, not saying anything bad about Kawasaki or Triumph, just think the others are more noteworthy. That said the KR1 definately deserves a mention as does the 675 & 1050 Speed Triple.
i wouldn't put honda top
they have been selling underpowered bikes for years n years
even the new 08 blade is no match for the GSXR1000 or zx10r or R1 and the 600 no one use it in stock 600 cos it to slow
they have build quality thats about it
and the reason they have the largest market share is because of the cub`s 50 , 70 , 90 ect not quite top of the range
They're also a pain to work on, they make things harder than they need to be. And they're finninsh quality isn't the best. The best bikes for finnish quality and lack of corrosion are the R1 and R6 without doubt.

where do you find all these images too
I have a hard drive full of them from my days on gixxer.com, Not sure if its still the same but it used to be when threads started turning sour or getting heated they would usually degenerate into daft picture posting...which is miles more amusing and entertaining than bickering. You dont really get it on Uk bike sites which is a shame.

As some of you are no doubt waiting for a responce from me, you wont get one. Fester no doubt has his views and they just don't match ours. The only comment I will make is this. The banter ?slagging off
that goes on it great and fun except when it gets very personal. This can be accepted from regular users of the forum but as I really dont care if I piss anyone off:lol:
Sorry, Who the fcuk are you.
You have only just joined the forum. Clearly no nothing about one as you have missed the section on introducng yourself, so no doubt are a spotty 17 year old chav with a corsa.
So maybe you best take you ego out your arse and start again and learn to do things properly
Rant over
