+1.

We're an "H" family. Cars, motorcycles, etc. Their machines are pretty diesel if you ask me. I like the more subtle styling of Honda than Yamaha (bikes) and prefer Honda over Toyota (cars). But I'd consider a move.
+1.... Same here, I'm a diehard Honda fan for both bikes and cars. Not saying I hate other brands or anything, cuz I don't, but just always been a Honda nut. That's what I've had, and I've put a crapload of miles on both (94k on the F4i, 379k on the Accord), and they've never let me down so I figure might as well stick with what I know works, right? Bikes I do like all of the big 4 though, especially the Yammis, my 2nd fav :wink: Cars I'll stick to Honda/Acura, or maybe even Toyota. Been down the domestic route before, never again (and I work for Ford, btw)

Yes ummm No...

I am for the most part a Zuk rider, but I started out on Kawi so I have some luv for them as well. I have ridden 3/4 of the japs, no Honda yet, and Zuk as the best feel for me.


Keep the shiny side up!!!

My first bike, SV650 was a GREAT bike. Super reliable, sweet handling and fun.
First Suzuki was great so I tried another, a GSXR this time. So far I'm very happy.

Eventually I'd definately like to try some other brands and styles. Aprilia's are looking sweeter and sweeter everyday. :wink:
I'd really like to try a rat rod sometime. Not into choppers mostly, too flashy and vogue for me but a nice rat rod like this is rad as hell.

Several years away obviously.

I have a soft spot for Kawis (and probably always will) as the first bike I ever rode passenger on was a Kawi ('02 ZX9R), the first bike I ever fell in love with was a Kawi ('03 ZX6R), and my first (and still current bike) bike is a Kawi as well.

But I do recognize that just about all of the major manufacturer's have at least ONE super stellar bike, or something I've at least contemplated owning. My next bike has about a 50% chance of being a Yammy. :dthumb:

Mainly had Hondas, and a couple of Yamahas and Zooks. Never had a Kawi, so I put a deposit down on an '08 ZX 10R a couple of weeks ago. Figured I'd like to try one before I buy the farm:dthumb:

HELL YES


I've got respect and a lot admiration for any brand, but I'm Ducati raised, and it will stay that way.


How funny you brought this thread back from the dead....

Below is my post from July '07 and I'm happy to say I purchased a 1098 in June '08 and never been happier with a bike. :cheers:


:iagree: 1098 a yr or two away.

I was a Honda purist for the longest time. I still think they make a solid bike too. It's just that once I got on a GSX-R, I pretty much understood what the guys who owned one were talking about.

My 750 is my baby. I'm loyal to the point of following Suzuki in the races and will most likely own another Suzuki when it's time to buy again.
