Re: Favourite Non-Honda Bikes?
Completely valid opinion, but I do feel it's been more acceptable to do this to a motorcycle as opposed to a car. Plus at the type, Ducati didn't sell the D16 (which is an outrageous amount of money anyway) , and this was a good alternative to change the controversial styling of it.DaveLiverpool wrote:I don't really get why people make their bikes look like another, why not just buy that bike in the first place. I know there's a big price range but I wouldn't try and make my vauxhall look like a Lamborghini.. I'd rather save up and buy the Lamborghini. Albeit that would be a very very long time haha.Pete Diggs wrote:Well the great thing about those is that QB Carbon makes a Desmosedici front fairing for the bike to change the styling. I do say it makes it look sweetDaveLiverpool wrote:Im very jealous of your 999s StrayAlien, the termis sounds absolutely fantastic on those. I think there a pretty little bike, although most wouldn't agree.
I understand what you mean though.

How about that. I didn't find one one their site. Might not do them any more.[/quote]StrayAlien wrote:[quote="Pete Diggs"\

This is what I was able to find by using their search and Google.

Re: Favourite Non-Honda Bikes?
I've had a CG125, 2 CB-1s, 3 CBR900s, a t595 and an XJ600S.
I like Hondas, me. The triumph was poorly thought-out if lovely to look at, the XJ600S crazy cheap to run but not good.
I can't really think of any non-hondas I'd like to own except maybe a Sprint 1050, but I won't do it as the 595 was such a pain to own.

It would have to be a RG500 for me above everything else. I had a pepsi one back in the day and it was a hoot. F1 spec engines in decent frames are still a force to be reckoned with and they sound absolutely awsome on full chat

I love that video. Seems that Gilles Coulanges has made a few of those beam framed 500's:-
