Correctamundo!

Wow, cool bike. I just ran into a person selling a Millie R Factory with all the extras for a steal. At 600 miles he added on everything from the Aprilia catalog and now the bike scares him.. I think I need another bike in my stable..

drthompson65 · #43 (**permalink**) 05-09-2006, 07:11 PM

Well add a 999 to the bikes I've destroyed list..

You ride 'em you wreck 'em ..

Another bikers down, lucky for me my bike has a flat tire

Hope your feeling alright man.

Looks like my 999 is a total lost. Bent swing arm and steering head. The insurance guy is cool but will only cover 1000 of accessories (leathers, helmet, etc). Anything more would have required a rider (bike was stock). So here is my short list of new machines:

2006 999S
2006 749R
2006 MV F4

The 749R is really getting my interest lately.. Very under rated bike..Everyone keeps saying "Its only 121hp - with a termi system low 130s". That's MORE than my 04 999 had and my CBR929RR (one of my most favorite bikes). Shees...what's this world coming too?

150 ponies makes for very a smooth ride, my friends '06 CBR1000 makes me feel like I weigh 20 pounds.
But I'm a pretty big guy for sport bike riding, I need a lot of ponies to get my fat ass around

Well I got you beat at 280, and it keeps the front wheel down on my FZ6!!!!
But I am losing weight, and have been working out, my friggin legs hurt so bad right now it hurts to stand flat footed, I have to walk on my toes!

drthompson65 · #50 (**permalink**) 05-16-2006, 08:51 PM

I'm 225lbs currently and usually hit around 205 to 210 in the summer. Being 6'3" is big for today's sportbikes..

drthompson65 · #51 (**permalink**) 05-17-2006, 12:46 PM

Mine is in pieces down at Motoprimo..

drthompson65 · #52 (**permalink**) 05-19-2006, 10:35 PM

He already did..

drthompson65 · #53 (**permalink**) 05-21-2006, 05:31 AM

I'm thinking of a 749R with a full termi system but I'm having many friends trying to talk me out of a bike period..

FrozenDuc · #54 (**permalink**) 05-22-2006, 08:31 PM

Hey, R60us, I've got an '03 749S. How about if I take a picture of the shifter and send it your way (you mentioned wanting to straighten yours out)?

It sounds like you need to hang out with different people.

drthompson65 · #56 (**permalink**) 05-24-2006, 01:13 AM

I'm finding it harder and harder to find riding buddies. Everyone is married and it's impossible to get together and do something..

I'm torn.. Should I get a 749R or get the Gixxer 750 or 1000? Only thing scaring me about the duc is the price..

MNwilly · #57 (**permalink**) 05-24-2006, 03:21 AM

Lot's of riding buddies in the Dual Sport world. Did a 1200 mile trip to the U.P. this weekend.

Plus, there's less damage when you fall down!

drthompson65 · #58 (**permalink**) 05-30-2006, 07:26 PM

This looks cool but I'm still a back road street guy..

sbk_drew · #59 (**permalink**) 05-31-2006, 08:11 PM

Whos going and whos going to talk about going followed by a lameass excuse why they can't make it?

sbk_drew · #60 (**permalink**) 05-31-2006, 10:09 PM

What do you ride?
