Plus you won't be mistaken for a massive douche if you ride a BMW either. Both the sporbike and chromed-out cruiser crowds share that burden equally.

Oh hell yes it saved me a lot of money. I think I saved close to a grand each year if not more because of that re-classification.Big Jim P wrote:Northern Dominus wrote:Go for the BMW. My K75 is pretty reliable, plenty powerful... it's just an awesome bike.

V Twin superbikes are always a hoot. Plenty of punch from the v-twin torque band and little weight makes for a fun ride.
If you like the 1000R you might want to check out the Honda RC51, lots of raves for that series.
Yes, and yes. According to the previous owner it was a "grey market" import from Canada, and he had the paperwork to back it up.
The insurance companies only ever had the CB250 "Nighthawk" on their records so it kept getting classed as such. Bear in mind unfortunately that bike was totaled in 2005 down in Florida thanks to some idiot pulling out in front of me.
Sorry about the idiot driver. I hope you didn't get hurt too bad. However, the bike being classed as a nighthawk probably saved you quite a bit on insurance.
You know what, both the sportbike and "harley" groups have attitude problems that they don't want to acknowledge. Yes the sportbike crowd has been coopted by the affliction tshirt crowd, but then again there's plenty of 1%er wannabees with fringed vests riding basic cruisers with cheap faux chrome parts as well...Dyakovo wrote:Northern Dominus wrote:Go for the BMW.

Lol, around these parts the massive douches ride crotch rockets, not Harleys...

I was mostly fine, had a bit of a tingle in my legs for about 15 days afterword because of the shock to my spine but no lasting damage. No the biggest insult came from their crap insurance company that tried to pin the whole thing on me by relating me to the Warlocks MC, you know a 1%er motrcycle gang.
Of course I didn't get the same break with the next bike....2003 Suzuki GSX-R 750. But god was that bike FUN!You know what, both the sportbike and "harley" groups have attitude problems that they don't want to acknowledge.

Certainly not going to argue that, just amused by the fact that your advice was backwards for my (and Jim's) area...

That is the real question here....
Plus as Jim said it would be nice if everyone acknowledged that douchebaggery knows no specific style of motorcycle, but I don't see any pigs flying so...

Granted Texas seems to be a locus of douchebaggery in particular, but I digress...
