    Utility vehicles (utes lol) > bikes. Motorbicycles are completely impractical, and useless.

    But whatever floats your boat, y0. Have fun showing off your bike to your friends. You're officially "cool".

    Wah? Bikes are easy on gas, accelerate like nobody's biz, can be parked anywhere, can manuever in traffic, small, lightweight, etc. I mean, I don't own one, but the benefits I'm sure go far beyond just being "cool."

    In a city I'd suspect a bike as a much better choice than a huge utility vehicle that you'll never actually use for HAULING anything.

    Cycles of the motor are great - I have owned several.

    The only two bad things I can think of are<ol type='1'><li>Not the fun if you get caught in the middle of nowhere without raingear and drive through a thunderstorm (yes, it has happened to many)</li><li>Total lack of protection in an accident, resulting in nasty injuries or death.</li></ol>

    Not a fan of the rims on the Honda Coup just... Had to comment on that, since I also own one with some tuning on it ^_^

    I imaging rain and lots'o wind is a ###### when driving long distances, but I also remember me saying to a buddy of mine when in a traffic jam. DAMNIT, bikers got it all going for them. Have fun man with that kawasaki (love that word, japanese pronouniation! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />)

    [edit]
    haha bi-atch is being filtered?

    How do the Japanese pronounce Kawasaki, ######?

    So before you click into the "Off-Topic" forum, the most recent post looked like it was in a topic named "250 cubic centimeters of pu..." I was eagerly expecting mass amounts of pudding, but that motorcycle is neat too. Good luck screaming around at high speeds hoping nothing hits you!

    Meh, I don't live in the city. Also I "haul" stuff all over the place, and like to keep emergency supplies in my car. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Lack of storage space for hauling things/passengers.

    Well, these are obvious! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> It's a bike for pete's sake. If you live in the country, and you actually do haul things like people, material, equipment, I got nothin' against getting a honkin' truck or suvy. It's the ones who buy those vehicles just because they feel better about it that slightly anger me. My dad was a residential contractor, so our heavy movers were well deserved! Willy Nilly over here goes fishin' every now and then to the places that don't need 4-wheel's and all he takes is his tackle box; Willy Nilly doesn't need a truck.

    All I'm saying! That was quite a tangent.

    As for things like emergency supplies - well. You takes you chances you walks through the dark with no flashlights or thermal blankets. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Even in the city I don't see how you could not need any more storage space than Chrono's MR-2. How do you move furniture, lots of shopping and the like? And how about emergency equipment you will need? :-(

    And don't give me that truck stuff chrono because it isn't yours <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    <3 Chrono

    Don't kill yourself on that thing. <3

    Bikes are way too dangerous for my taste. It's not always the biker's fault but an accident happens soon or later. And it hurts/kills. Be really careful. </papa>

    so i went to the local dealership with my friend because he wanted to get a bike also and for some completely illogical reason the finance company wont give him a loan for $3000 for a ninja 250 like mine but they will give him a loan for $6000 for a ninja 500.
