New Ride...

[lord_verminaard at yahoo.com (Brendan Doyle)]

I heard getting 35 hp out of the Enfield is pretty easy.  ;)  But like I said, probably all the faster I'd need to go.  :P

Whatcha think of the Buell Blast?  http://www.buell.com/en_us/bikes/blast/blast/gallery.asp 
Completely different bike than the Enfield but very similar as well, also similar price.  I've heard they are a blast (no pun intended) to ride and HD uses them for their training course.  Of course, they are made by HD and I've read some horror stories of reliability  issues with them, but that's what you get with a HD.  :P

Kind of looks like an old CB, or Moto Guzzi...

$5000 for an Indian bike, and it's not even an Indian... ;)

I'd spend the extra money and get a Triumph, Ducati, Norton, or even H-D.

It looks pretty good with the caf? conversion, and the 2 year warranty is
pretty nice, but it weighs 352 lbs(160Kg) and it only has 25hp, which is
pathetic for an updated engine, considering, that the new 450cc's have close
to 50hp. 

Instead of scary fast, I think this bike might be scary slow...

That Norton is Sweet!  I didn't even bother checking how much one costs, or
if you can even get them in the states.....

I really like British bikes too.  Especially new ones that look old.  I am
drooling, let me repeat DROOLING over the Royal-Enfield's Electra-X.
http://www.royalenfield.com/Content/US/images/products/zoom_electra.jpg  I
know they are made in India now but wow they are oldschool.  Even has cool
"modern" features like disc brake and electric (kick-optional) start!  :D

It's only a 500cc single but it will go all the faster I'll ever need to go.

I've seen Peter's bike in person.  Totally badass.  

My current bike is a 1981 Honda CB650C.  Not the be-all, end-all, but it has
served me well.  I'm looking into a Triumph Thruxton for the next bike.
Though, I've long drooled after the Triumph Speed Triple.  I just have a
thing for British bikes.

Has anyone seen the rebirth of the Norton Commando?

Pretty sweet.

I finally got another bike, a 2006 ZX10R leftover.

I know Sara, Breandan, and Ben have bikes, does anybody else ride?
