It's the bike swap thread

[tached1000rr]

Ok what TWFix member's bike do you want to take a ride on for the day? I'm calling dibbs/shotgun on Archren's Ducati 1098, a plus would be being able to sniff her seat:drool: But then again to appease G-Rex I will forego all of that seat sniffing if I can take the Busa for a days worth of touring.:rockout:

[t-homo]

I call OTB's Bimota.

[Sixxxxer]

Drewpy's RC 51

Or Anyone of FnFalmans Bikes

[tached1000rr]

I call OTB's Bimota.

it was in my top 5

[Trip]

Or Anyone of FnFalmans Bikes

fnfal's RS125 ftmfw

actually doesn't sfarson have a desmo RR??? He does have some nice ducs too.

[Amber Lamps]

Dova's MV Agusta

[Archren]

Hmm... I still haven't had the opportunity to ride a 998, so Zoomie's bike probably would top my list..

Beyond that, anyone who'd be up for letting me try out their 1125R.

And I'm going to let Tracy handle the seat sniffing... :lmao: Me, I'm happy to just ride the bike.. my face isn't going near anyone's seat. :panic:

[G-Rex]

:lol: It's up to her whether you get dibbs on the 1098, but I'm callin' dibbs on any seat sniffing. :D I already get to ride the 1098 whenever I want, so that one can't be on my list. :D

As for the Busa, we might be able to come to an agreement, but if you're taking the Busa for a day of touring, it had better come back with at least 1000 more miles on it or I will forever ridicule you on TWF. :lol:

Let's see. I'd have to go with Dova's MV. Is it Cutty? I think that has the 1125R? I wouldn't mind giving one of those a go.

[derf]

bobthebikers 2 stoke rd250

[ericr]

I'm easy, any type of bike I've never ridden, so that's a good number of them here :D

[Porkchop]

Archren's 1098

or

fnfalman's Tuono

[Particle Man]

Anyone own a BMW GS of some kind? :lol:

that would be it

[G-Rex]

Anyone own a BMW GS of some kind? :lol:

that would be it

Not yet. One of these days I will though! :D

[Yamerhaw]

Antwanny's ZX-10

[101lifts2]

I thought this was a thread about actually trading bikes forever. Dammit.

I'll take a Duc 1098 and one of those new BMW sportbikes.

[rogue]

Who's got a Speed Triple? :D

Or a Gas Gas? :D

I would ask about the B-King, but I doubt I could pick it off the kickstand. :lol:

I'd love try try almost any dual sport and supermotos! :rockout:

I did sit on a friend's new (to him) '06 Gix 1000 and freakin' fell in love! The seat isn't as wide as mine which means I can get the balls of both feet down for once! The seating position didn't feel near as aggressive as the R6 I sat on a few months ago....and OMFG that bike felt LIGHT! :rockwoot:

Is the 600's identical to the 1000's like that? I'd love to ride one! :D

[JARVIS518]

anyone with a 690 smc

You'd love the GSXR 600 in that case!

[OneSickPsycho]

I want to swap for part of a ride with Drewpy... just to compare the big Suzi twin to the RC...

[JoJoYZF]

Over200s crazy ass turbo busa that goes well over 200mph, just because it would scare the hell out of me but also be the ride of my life.

[G-Rex]

I want to swap for part of a ride with Drewpy... just to compare the big Suzi twin to the RC...

My best friend had an RC with a set of Jardines and a Power Commander. You will be sorely disappointed and want your TLR back in short order.

The RC was one of those bikes that just didn't live up to it's billing to me. The brakes kicked ass, but that was bout all I can say good about it.

[ontwo]

Marko or Cutty's Buells because I've never ridden one, and I'm curious as to whether I would like one someday

[Dave]

hrm difficult one. id snag dova's mv or maybe earlzach's new vmax. love OTBs bimota too and anyone who has an RSV or tuono

[buzzcutt2]

I'm easy, any type of bike I've never ridden, so that's a good number of them here :D

I didn't think anyone would ever want to ride mine...ever ridden a 98 ZX9? :lmao:

I thought about the V-Max but to tell you the truth, and this may sound stupid. I'm afraid that they have engineered all of the character out of the bike. I owned an '88 and totally loved it! It's a close tie between that bike and my '01 GSXR for my favorite bike of all time. The old school V-Max was just gnarly to ride and required complete throttle control ( and a complete lack of sense) to ride fast. I about shit my pants several times on that bike but I've never had a larger or stupider grin on my face since.

no idea, but i still think it'd be fun to try out and if i didnt like it it would flip for enough to snag a new zed ten with mods. win/win in my book

[Mrs. Colleen]

Nobody wants to trade for my 17 year old star covered FZR? :lol:

Honestly...I am too scared to even ride my husband's bike so as much as I would love to TRY a 1098 (or any Ducati) I would be too scared. :leaving:

[Cutty72]

I believe I'm the only one here that has an 1125R so :idk:
I guess that could be an even trade, your 1098 for the 1125.

If I had to pick though, I'd probably say sfarson's (I think) MV.

I can't believe how popular my bike is! :lol:

you arent. but i cant remember the other one

[Rider]

I believe Sfarson has or at least at one time had an MV Agusta F4. That's what I want to ride. I'd also love the ride Archeren's 1098.. Somebody go out and buy an Aprilia RSV4 so I can ride that.

[Archren]

Don't be skeered... :lol: The only thing to be afraid of is getting addicted to the pasta crack. :whistle:

And if you gave me the keys to your FZR, I would totally ride it!! I miss my old F2.. that thing was the bomb-diggity.

[Archren]

I'm a Buell fan.. I still hang and ride with a bunch of Buell guys locally. It just so happened to be that my dream bike ended up being Italian. :lol:

[HurricaneHeather]

pdog's DRZ :D

[CrazyKell]

I'm going to have to go with Tmall's Buell (looks fun as hell!) or Zoomie's 998.

[Dave]

troof! i still miss my hurricane lots

[z06boy]

I'll just name what type of bike I'd like to ride besides my own.

09 R1

Ducati 1098 and 1198

Buell 1125

MV Augusta

Harley V-Rod

That's about it. I've ridden most other bikes I'd be interested in riding or at least what I can currently think of.

Oh yeah nhgunnut's Turbo Hayabusa was fun to ride...I'd like to ride it again.

His Ducati 999r was cool too but I actually enjoyed the Busa more. :idk:

[Fleck750]

'73 H1 Triple's, thank you!!!

[Dave]

'73 H1 Triple's, thank you!!!

dammit! Forgot that one. Yeah id love to try out a big smoke

[Sixxxxer]

I'd also go with Rogue's and Kell's "Bikes"...

;)

[Digifox]

Drewpy's RC 51

Or Anyone of FnFalmans Bikes

I got Dibs on on your Zx6

[Sixxxxer]

I got Dibs on on your Zx6

Well Thank you...although its not exactly Special or rare there are plenty of Blue 6Rs running around.

[TommyHotWheel]

Crazykell's ZX6R...but only if she rode with me, facing each other...legs wrapped around me and we were going to a Hockey playoff game....Or a Super Duke R, cant remember who has that box of win.:rockwoot:

[CrazyKell]

Crazykell's ZX6R...but only if she rode with me, facing each other...legs wrapped around me and we were going to a Hockey playoff game....

So a typical Friday night in Canada? :whistle:

[Dave]

guess i need to order up some plane tickets :lol:

[Sixxxxer]

Lets make it one way dude!!! :)

[dReWpY]

truthfully:
marko and his buel
l
and any supermoto

[pickle.of.doom]

Trip's Fiddy.

[dReWpY]

wont get you far now...

[t-homo]

I'd take the RC for a spin.

[dReWpY]

a bone stock rc is pretty much a ok ride, it takes some mods to wake it up, most of them are free or atleast cheap

[Rider]

Can't do much about the weight though..

[dReWpY]

the weight isnt that bike of a deal on this bike, sure it cant be flicked about as easly as a lightweight 600, but it holds its line like a champ, is completly confident in the corners, esp high speed sweepers

[julie j]

Anyone own a BMW GS of some kind? :lol:

that would be it

I have a F650GS (twin) and my husband has a F800GS :wink:

The F800 is the bike I want to ride. We have talked about taking me to the park and ride since someone will have to catch the bike when I stop. I can't even get one foot to touch. :lol:

[Riceaholic]

Tommymac's TLS. (I never should have sold mine.)

[fnfalman]

I would like to try out OTB's Bimoto and Phil's supermotard.

[CrazyKell]

Oooh I'd like to try out a supermotard too. Forgot about that.

[shmike]

Gas Man's Ultra

[t-homo]

how much does it weigh? I'm sure its not much more than mine.

I just looked up its dry weight at 430 lbs. Mine is 385 dry. An 07 600rr is 345.

[dReWpY]

mine is down to 438 wet

[MissHell]

Add me to the line for Earlzach's V-Max. :D

[racedoll]

Over200s crazy ass turbo busa that goes well over 200mph, just because it would scare the hell out of me but also be the ride of my life.

And probably the end of your life.. at 200mph. Crazy person.

I didn't think anyone would ever want to ride mine...ever ridden a 98 ZX9? :lmao:

Sure! I loved my husband's 2000 ZX9 (and so did he).


I would say Tsunami's bike.

I had the chance to ride a 1098 but I waited too long. I was still I could later, just got to the dealer and he would hook me up with a test ride since he knew he could trust me.

[Cutty72]

I would like to try out OTB's Bimoto and Phil's supermotard.

Oh, I forgot about your Tuono.

mine is down to 438 wet

Wow, almost down to 1125 weight. Nice work.

[JoJoYZF]

And probably the end of your life.. at 200mph. Crazy person.


Yeah, I never said it was a good idea but itd be a blast. Im usually pretty calm on my bike but that thing would be sweet to try out.

[t-homo]

mine is down to 438 wet

I need to go see what mine weighs. Where is the best place to do that at?

Either way, with my fat ass on it, it doesn't matter.

[JoJoYZF]

You could pull the rob and big move and go to a recycling center

[JoJoYZF]

Thats a good point. Ive never even thought of that.

[Cutty72]

you arent. but i cant remember the other one

hmmm... ok... Whoever else has an 1125 speak up. I demand to know who you are.

[Dave]

[dReWpY]

[Amber Lamps]

if you go to wheelers he has a scale


Yea if I get there early enough on Wed, I want to stop at Wheeler's and have my sag set. I'm pretty close doing it by myself but it would be worth it to have it done by pros.

[neebelung]

:shrug: Really anyone's... :lol: I'm always game for trying out a new ride, just to see how other bikes feel, respond, handle.

fnfal's garage would be high on the wishlist though. :lol:

[racedoll]

I need to go see what mine weighs. Where is the best place to do that at?

We have a feed mill that we go to weight stuff.

[Dnyce]

Over200s crazy ass turbo busa that goes well over 200mph, just because it would scare the hell out of me but also be the ride of my life.

thats what i was gonna say, but for different reasons

[Cutty72]

not the guy i was thinking of but "hellgate" apparently has one. found him by searching the member list by bike

ok then. we'll go by members that actually post.
Then I win.

[PiZdETS]

I call OTB's Bimota.

Dova's MV Agusta
These or that one guy's turbo busa, just to be anti-social.

[marko138]

Sfarson's Desmo. Easy pick.

[abrinson]

Anyone with a Moto Guzzi. I want to try one of those out, see what the funky mounted engine feels like. And if the cylinder heads make yer knees hot...

[tached1000rr]
