Chicken strips

[adeejaysdelight]

Well i think when people buy a bike, it's not just a bike but a dream they are buying also.If a guy has always dreamed since he was a teenager about having a Fireblade then he'll eventually have one whether he can ride it well or not.& once that itch has been scratched & he realises the reality isnt as good as the dream, he sells it on..& you get a nice bike that hasnt been ridden much.maybe that is why you see so many for sale with chicken strips.
& of course theres the magazines & marketing which used to be superbike biased & now they are on the adventure bike mission which many are buying into, no different when most people arent adventuring on them but that's still their choice.
& adee what makes you want a bigger 750, if like you say you havent reached the limits of the 600 yet?, is it just because you fancy something a bit different or a change from what you know or whatever, if so then you may have already answered your question regarding why other bikers have big bikes.

I am not planning to change my bike, I am growing my garage and adding a third bike. I fancy a sports bike again because the handling, performance & riding position is more focused for aggressive riding. So, when I'm in the mood, I can go out and rip the nuts off a bike designed for that job, rather than my poor wee Fazer bouncing off the limiter in 4th  :rolleyes . I have decided that post 600 will suit my needs best. My first bike after passing my test was a CBR600 and it was too revvy for my liking. The GSXR 750 or Triumph 675 have some mid range too. That is why I am going for a bigger engine. The thou is FAR to much for me right now. Had a day out on an R1, a shot on a Gixxer and an Blade. Scary, for me anyway. Maybe in 10 years  . Does that answer our question?
