    Wow, that is probably one of the most insane looking motorcycles I've ever seen.

    No, really, I dreamt about owning one last night.

    -sarcasm mixed with trying to be funny but not succeeding-

    Seems legit. I doubt you would've payed 55K for something that isnt even street legal.

    That sounds to me like it's extremely fast. So why does that render it prohibited? Considering how cars like the Bugatti Veyron is allowed.

    Well, it wasn't really safe lol...
    As far as I know it wasn't really meant to be street legal.

    A Grom would be a good hooligan bike, but since I've got a bigger bike I don't think I will ever get a 125cc bike again. I used to ride a 125 husky back when I had the restricted driving license.

    I have a 2008 TT-R 230... Yeah, I know its a 230, I would love to get a YZ 250 or even a Banshee 350 (Not a bike, I know). When I bought it the previous owner had taken off the baffles so it is fairly loud. It badly needs a carb kit because it pours out gas if you tip it either side for any amount of time.

    Before I had a 2000 XR 200, it smoked like a steam train and sputtered like a Lada and was completely gutless.

    I have a 1997 Honda CB400 Super Four (III) Version R! (Japanese Import)
    Has 67,000 kilometers on the clock, still going stong as ever - bulletproof.

    My bike is in the middle of the photo below, I have some uni biker friends that I cruise around with.

    What are the best things about a motorcycle for you guys? (Speed, cornering, ease of mobility, stunts etc)
    I personally enjoy riding around with my friends, chilling, with the occasional drag race (on empty straight coastal roads) :p

    You should get some nobblies! Lots of green trails around here, but my bike slides when it hits a damp leaf haha.
    I was thinking for my next bike (if this one ever dies on me) I'd get a supermoto or offroad orientated tourer - just something a bit different :)

    I've been looking at getting a dirtbike, I used to ride a little when I was younger, never was really that amazing, but oh my god it's so much fun. But, I'm looking at a potentially large purchase soon so I don't have the money for that.
