Any 2 wheeled lovers?
If talking about bike's is frowned upon then I Apologize in advance Like you guys I'm a 4 wheeled fan and my 2020 X4 M40D is my pride and joy.. but just wondering if there is any 2 wheeled fans out there! I've always had at least one bike since the mid seventies starting with the Yamaha F.S.1.E and had more than I can remember since then.. but mostly been Kawasaki's and have 2 bikes at present.. which are the 2020 H2 SXSE for touring and a 2019 Z900 RS cafe for local ride outs and commuting.. just curious to what your other pride and joys are taking up room in your garaged.

I have way too many cars lol. Also have a Ducati ST3 but I can't even ride it due to no motorcycle license yet. Had a ton of work done including a new paint job. I need to get on the license thing.

I rode for 10 years or so. Would like to get back on but I have a terrible track record of crashing bikes . GSXR750 was my commuting blast for a while, I had a Honda CB1 (SUPER cool little bike, the absolute best first bike one could own, if you can find one) previously which I loved and was the only bike I've owned and never dropped. They're a ton of fun and with CA's generous lane splitting laws (or lack thereof) you'll easily average more than 2x the speed of traffic in a heavy commute. The number of times I had to brake hard enough to lift the rear wheel due to blind cagers was ridiculous, though.

Done loads of track days in my younger days mostly on middle weight super sports like the zx6r/cbr600 and the Srad 600 found them to be quick and light enough to chuck around.. but mostly used bike's I've bought that had been either sent down the road by new riders or could not afford to insure the second year.. in either case they needed some maintenance for either seized brakes or cosmetic damaged.. that way if I was to bin the bike on the track it didn't damaged my wallet to much but not been to the track for a few years now as getting to old for that now as I don't bounce as well much prefer to tour and fly down the German autobahn which on the kawasaki zzr1400 performance sport is dam good fun was hoping to try my Kawasaki H2 SX SE last and this year but Covid as put paid to that

Have ridden the H2 it's a beast.. need to put your arms back in the sockets after winding the H2 up but not a practical bike as heavy on fuel and not so easy on your wrists/back/arse.. so when I was looking to change my 4th ZZR 1400 I decided the Kawasaki H2 SX SE was the sensible option with over 200 b.h.p loaded with the latest technology plus it's "supercharged" as I intended to use it for touring it was a no brainer
