Dang, after hearing that story I just want to shower for three days.

The first bike I got back on was an 84 Nighthaawk 750S. I really liked that bike until I dropped the timming chain. Then I got the Bandit 1200 and the difference is night and day.

Oh, well, partly because of this thread, I decided NOT to win this Eliminator...

I could have, but at an hour until closing, I shut the computer down and left. But, man, it's a sweet example!

Now I'm watching this...

That's better... but it's about like owning a naked B12. They have a little more power and handling is similar, so it would be almost like having a green naked version of the bike you already have.

I love the ZEEREX. I came very close to buying one just before I settled on my B12. The thing that changed my mind was a last minute check of the insurance rate. It was double what I now pay for the B12.

You must go to VMD in Ohio -- all those bikes will be there and many will be up for sale.

You're killin' me, man!

Yup...

Just bustin' your chops, aint I?

Many of us here considered the ZRX before choosing the B12... and I'm one of them, too. I looked at the FZ1's, too, but they were brand new then and none of the Yamaha dealers were willing to deal. Most of them were selling FZ's for >MSRP and I wouldn't play that game. The thing that made me choose the B12 over the ZRX was the Bandit's superior wind protection and the centerstand. The lower price of the B12 was icing on the cake. The shape of the Rex's swingarm prevents even an aftermarket C'stand.

>>For the Suzuki side of the equation, go here:<<

Interesting site. What's that 1993 RGV 250 Gamma about? Did that ever make it stateside? Looks kinda interesting.

>>Kinda like taking Angelina Jolie to bed and she can't stop farting.<<

Just open the window dude! Let 'er rip, and let 'er rip!

Okay...

This is it...

I'm officially starting a new charity event:

The "Give-money-to-D.A.-so-he-can buy-the-motorcycle-of-his-wet-dreams-and-quit-whining" fund.

I'll start the ball rolling with a $.05 donation.

Who's with me?

None of the RG series ever made it to the States - officially. (Thanks to the EPA.) A few have been brought in from other countries, especially Canada. Just yesterday, on my way home from work, I spotted a RG500 going the other way... just about had to pick my jaw up off the tarmac! You just don't see those things out running around too often.
