Anybody else here ride? Show your bike!

Well, almost 3 months ago my wife and I did the MSF course. We both got our licenses. I immediatley purchased an 06 Suzuki GS500F, a week later I purchased my wife a new 2010 yamaha FZ6R. I have been riding to work everday. I joined the motohouston forum. Anybody else here ride? Also a member?

Here are my bikes:

This is how I bought it. It was lightly dropped, previous owner decided to ditch the fairings. He was going to convert it to a naked bike, but never finished.


I fixed some little things, and got some used fairings.





The left side fairing is rough, the right side is in great shape.

I plan on painting them black this weekend.

The wifes bike:





I love the GS for commuting. Almsot perfect bike for that. Great on gas, simple, reliable, and enough power to be fun. I love it. The FZ is all those things,(a lot more power) just a little less comfy, the separate seat is limiting in seating position. I do aspire to own an FZ8 or FZ1.

Anyway, show me your bike(s)!

Thumbs up

Have a 1988 Honda Hurricane CBR1000F in pristine condish, have had it since new.
Also, I have 2004 Suzuki Matt Mladin Limited Edition GSX-R1000, bought used with less than a 1K miles.
Love them both, ride them both only on Spring or Fall.

To OP: your wife has a better bike then you?!?!?!? LOL

Check this club out in Houston, they are cool at least here in the Dallas area.

Well i have always been a speed person, but my problem is being extremly tall, and I looked goofy on the GS550.

So the busa is a much bigger bike and I fit it really well. Also hitting the speed cut is nice too

Those pics don't do your bike justice. However its just a garage ornament at this point and time.
