I ride a 2000 yamaha blaster and a 2002 suzuki ozark. I have ridden a ton of other stuff though like rm125's, ttr125's, honda recons, a ton of polaris's and more. I love riding but lately i have not had a chance because i dont have much time and i am workin on my truck. i pretty much got into it myself.

I'm plannin on gettin my license soon, but I think I should fix my bike first ('84 Honda 600RX). I do ride whenever I get the chance on my mom's dirtbike or my stepdad's quad or little bike, but I can't wait to get my own bike goin

That always used to crack me up when a friend would get a new 80, his hardley riding dad would want to ride it. Kids would always say "careful dad, it has a lotta power", dad would always say " I ride hardleys, this thing won't have any power compared to that". Always ended up with the kid's rear fender aimed skyward, dad scraped and bruised up from looping it out!

Fastest I've been (only once or twice cause my friends took off on a clear stretch) was 155 on the speedo, pegged and not gaining anymore, but that's probably more like 145 corrected. On the track I consistently hit 130ish.

And ffc, I can't remember exactly which bike you said you got (600 rebel?), but if you say 600rx you're gonna have people thinking you mean xr600. With hondas you usually ignore the letters after the #, it's the letters before that are the model.

Post up a pic and I'll figure out what it is. Example, my buddies old bike was a cbr900rr. The model is cbr, all the rr stands for is race ready. I'm just sayin that's how honda labels their bikes. Get on with that pic

My old 750 CB750ss

my cb100ss, dunno the cb but 100cc's and super sport.
y did they put super sport on the end of its name?

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #47 on:** Mar 26, 2006, 01:24:45 PM »

I don't know about a CB100ss but the CB750ss was a limited edition with special paint scheme and black engine, pretty much everything was black.

You guys are both sayin exactly what I'm tryin to. The cb100 is just that, a CB, and the cb750ss is also a cb, despite being a special edition ss model. What I'm trying to say is you wouldn't just say I have an ss, cause you'd leave people scratching their heads(might think you had a ducati), but if you said you had a cb most people will know exaclty what you had. Those bikes are cool for an older bike though.

Guess I should say what dirt bike I still have, 78 honda xr75. Still a kick in the pants to ride, despite being totally gutless!

My buddy and I went riding yesterday. We went with a group of Yota's but we did a little riding by ourselves when they would hit a super slow trail that was a repeat or not fun at all to watch. Well I rode my XR, for fun knowing we would be riding slow behind the trucks. My buddy rode his heavily modded WR250 for the first time since he got it back from the shop. We got through the first trail with the Yota's and then went on a bike trail to an open area. I stopped because I had a head start, and my buddy does a bit of a wheelie off this bump and the back tire goes out because of a pothole or something, not quite sure. He falls. His exhaust was dented and pushed about an inch and a half to the left into the tire. He messed up his foot peg and his throttle, he also broke his hand. We rode back to the truck, bent his exhaust back and looked the bike over, waited for the Yota's and then we went riding for the rest of the day, with a broken hand. What a trooper!

Wow so my buddy and his dad took a real close look at his bike with a straight edge, strings in the garage, and a bunch of time. The bike was totalled. The swingarm and frame were both bent. It was a 2005 WR250 pretty heavily modded, the damage? Around 3k.

I bent the swing arm on my 2002 Banshee jumping it.

we have three wheelers and toyoders looking for a dirtbike posobley a yamaha 500 or bigger

kneedownnate · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 29, 2006, 01:17:13 PM »

Uuuummmm.....I don't think yamaha currently makes a bike bigger than 500cc. I think the yzf450(or whatever it's current output is) is their biggest 2 wheeler. I could be wrong, but I think the older tt's maybe got up to 550? Now if we're talking 4 wheelers then........
