Favourite Non-Honda Bikes?

Post by DaveLiverpool »

Hi,

I'm a fairly inexperienced rider and have an NC30, but just out of interest if Honda were not around what bike would everyone want/have.

I personally have a thing for Ducati's but I don't believe I'm good enough yet to get the most out of one..

What would you have and why?

Haha. I've never ridden one so I hope I'm not dissappointed when I do! Haha. My friends dad has three though and they all sound amazing. Would love to ride the 1198 SP Corse though. Also on my list are an R6, GSXR750SRAD, RS250 & TDR250..

I'd love a Yamaha tzr250 trackbike very tempted to take up the yam past masters race weekend, though it'll cost me a fortune in the long run as it'd see me buying one of them

If I was to ever buy a road bike again rather than just trackbike it'd be a 675r so I could have some gold bits to polish!!!

I've ridden 2 SRAD 750s, one just Sunday on the way bakc from motoGP as I collected it for a mate.

Don't get it. It was boring, gutless and annoying. Handled lovely but the brakes were shit.

It might just be me...but IL4 bikes are gash. Totally boring to ride.

I want a go on some Ducatis, boris' SB6 a wobbly cranked R1 (for a random IL4) and also sneak a go on Pauls RC...

Reckon that if I had to buy a new bike tomorrow..it would be an RSV4
IMPERATOR REX ANGLORUM

The V4 is the law..
