Do you look back?..

arybvtcw0eolkf

When you get off your bike, walking away do you look back at her in admiration ~ never, often or every time. And what do you admire?.

What do you even dislike?

Each and every time I walk away from my bike I look back and love her under seat pipes and the boxers big fat cylinders stick out the side.

I love the sound of her Laser exhaust, how I surprise people when I wheelie a big BMW ~ but I hate her yellow color and how thirsty she is (but that said I can give her a tough ride).

You?.

I have to admit, I do

Like you I love my under seat Akrapovic's, the muscley (don't know if that's a real word) stance of the bike (MT-01) & the carbon fibre stealth like appearence of it all (don't do shiny shiny) :cool:

I almost get a stiffy when she roars into life :pac:

I guess I'm in lust with my bike

She's a thirsty bitch :mad:

I repainted the rear cowl on my ol' CB-1 and covered up two little holes with roundy vinyl stickers.

Now when I look at it from behind I see a surprised shark. Does that count?

Wonda-Boy

I look back and make sure no little scum bags around!!!!!!

I look back and think..

....**** sake its filthy, need to wash it
....**** sake the chain is dirty and dry, need to clean and oil it
....**** sake the chain is loose, need to adjust it.

Ive seen saying that for the past 6 weeks.
I'm a serious procrastinator.

I look back and see a butterface

Poor Uncle Tom

yup, to make sure it's still standing......

Poor Uncle Tom

It is worth a look back though....



I am looking for a set of passenger grabs, they are not on mine....

devwa

Every time I do, I realize how dirty and tatty she his.
So I don't do it anymore ...

Love everything about mine. Pipes and wheels are the stand out features for me. Engine paint is dodgy, that's the only problem. And I want an open clutch but can't justify spending about €250 on it at the moment.

Definitely, if you don't look back you didn't buy the right bike!!!

I have an mt01 with akra's too and i agree with the above except it being thirsty.
I'm getting 40+ mpg which I think is very good for such a torquey behemoth.
What kinda mpg you gettin?

lennymc

KTR1C

I do but my bike is very very rarely out of sight when I'm out and about.

I was getting something similar on the SV, and commuting over 100k per day meant I was always in the petrol station. It's one of the main reasons I changed. The busa does about 180 miles/290 km to a tank and its a huge difference.

Oh God Ya. Every time. I rarely look away.

On all my previous bikes ive looked at them and though "**** yeah... thats mine". With the blackbird im kinda "Meh".... I have a few nice aesthetic changes on the way for it so will see what i think then. But then again, even if i look at it and im not all that impressed i just go for a spin and its an animal

blade1

Do I look back? Nah!


I run in home and stare out the window giggling like a little girl :pac:

You'll have to join the queue goodlad.
My brother keeps asking me to sell it and also a mate keeps telling me when he gets the money together, he'll (in his words)take it off my hands.
Me telling him it's not for sale doesn't seem to get through to him!
