    This thread has taken a very odd turn. Why would you judge a lad by his bike?
    Bizarre behaviour.
    I don't do a single thing to mine, I'd rather it is looked after by an expert.

    I'd take that lad with a pinch of salt to be honest folks. I don't think I can honestly read the posters posts without having a giggle.

    The not waving was at him a classic, and then handing out the punishment overtake, had a laugh at that one.

    Best part of that is, after noticing they didn't return his wave, he'll actually have to turn around in order to dish out his punishment.

    I used to ride an 1150GS. If people don't want to be my friend because of that, all the better!

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    This is what I get for standing up to you in one of the threads? Ungrateful ****. I would take you to another universe with my silver seat. Please report me and continue to get bullied in this forum by everyone. Sheep cannot imagine what's it's like to be a lion.

    Here an attempt to get back on topic...
    I'm gonna go with a Bandit 600 simply by virtue of the amount of them for sale, the amount I see on the road, and the amount of learner's who get them as starter bikes.

    CSO data doesn't give models, only make, so for the period 1998 - 2016 Honda are top of the pile with 33,089 registered vehicles, Suzuki 2nd with 20,475, and BMW 3rd with 6,623. Over that period I'd say the Blade would be the most popular bike of the Honda range if you exclude scooters.

    Aaaaaaaaaaand we just happen to have someone well versed in the martial arts here too, although I got rid of my BMW two years ago so I'm probably safe from Chuck Norris Synthol.

    CBR's, GSXR's and bandits

    I recon these are the most popular, not blades as such but all cbr variants and same for the gsxr's, had a bandit too and I'd prob buy one again (when I'm older)

    Got a GSX-R750 at the moment, wouldn't mind a S1000RR or R1 in the future.

    Gixxer and Blade.

    Seems to be the most popular bikes at large rideouts,road race meets and on trackdays in Mondello.

    How are they the most popular? You've been out on the bike for a commute Monday to Friday at the ''rush hour''? You see them a lot at ride outs and meets because these bikes are usually owned by enthusiasts but they are not the most popular bikes in Ireland.

    I am waiting for the new S1000RR to come out in 2019 - if I like it I might buy it, But the current spy pics on the net look a bit disappointing. I am glad there has been no mention of Triumph or Ducati on this thread. You would never see a locally registered Triumph or Ducati down here in Kerry. Although I know a new Monster 1200R was purchased by someone during 2017. I like my bikes (Bonneville T120 and Monster 821) to be a rare sight. Although my first big bike was a Bandit 600S - bought it because I loved the sound out of them and the naked model looked real snazzy in that metallic candy red colour.
