Default Any C7 owners have sport bikes too?

I guess I just like speed period. I use to harleys and choppers but once I bought a sportbike I would hooked on performance. I have a 05 GSXR 1000 with ohlins aftermarket suspension and ride in advanced level on the track. Nothing like dragging a knee at 100mph. Matter of fact, trackdays and sex are pretty comparable especially since sex is 20 or 30 minutes and time on the track is about 3 to 4 hours a day. i guess I like both equally.

Anyway who else here is a speed freak and has a sportbike in the garage? And what do you have?

2012 ZX-10r Sportbike(200HP)
2007 Wide Glide(107", stage 3 heads, 600 lift cams)

Many other sportbikes and Harleys over the last 35 years. I actually like the bikes much more than cars.

2012 BMW R1200R - not quite a sport bike, but it's a sooooo nice an all arounder.
A very quick way and efficient way to get around LA traffic.

A new C7 in the near future.

ALL the dealers in LA that have allocation want $10k over - base coupe or Z51, regardless.

I have an 2010 Yamaha VMax with 190 HP at the rear wheel for cruising, and a Honda RC51 that I track often, at Jennings and Daytona.

Currently an 08' Daytona Triump. May have to sell it when I pick up the new ZO6.

I wondered if anyone with a C7 had a sportsbike! I have a 09 ZX-14. And I'm 57 in a few weeks.
Sold my 05 Busa and my 90 CBR 1000 and 85 Kawasaki eliminator.

Pics of the bikes, girlfriend (Karen) and brother (Bug).

Harley Night Train - transformed into a Softail Road Glide Ultra.
I like laid back touring on my bike..no knee sliding for me.

I'm the same way love fast cars but I will always like bikes the best. Man and machine against road and elements. Actually, hardly ride gixxer on the street anymore got tired of going to pulled over almost going to jail for high speed wheelies on the freeway. Now I just ride my goldwing and stunt it cops usually just laugh!

Here is a couple of chopper stunts when I had my bourget,






couple on the goldwing







And the gixxer at Barber motorsports.

I have a 2007 Ninja ZX6R. Haven't been riding much at all with the new vette. Plus, riding around these streets you feel like you have a price on your head!

Sadly I've sold all my bikes but once the Vette is finally purchased I plan on getting the 1199S in White to match the car.

A few of my old bikes:

'08 CBR1000RR (Cousin and Dogs too)


'09 Repsol CBR1000RR:


'12 Aprilia RSV4R:
