Yes you are crazy. Gregg you are like one of the Warrior "Gods". Don't abandon us now! Your bike, especially with the paint and powdercoat, rules. Part of the Warrior's appeal to me is the mean growl you can get with the large variety of exhausts you can get. Yes they're faster and I know I'm going to get verbally pummelled for this but crotch rocket exhausts just sound wussy IMO. (I said IMO so please don't be thrash me too hard). Keep the Warrior, you're just temporarily insane![/emoticons/emotion-3.gif)]

 

I think your nucking futz [/emoticons/emotion-5.gif] just kidding. If its what you want to do go for it!!
I would try to find a way to keep the warrior also, just to be able to show it. Its a dam sweet
ride man ,I would hate to see you give it up..

 

Here's a little something sweet. . .

 

I think you are nutz Vec and I've seen the videos.

The sport bikes are just not my style. If you go with the sport bike, still come on down to WarriorFest and show it off. The BMWers are OK and getting very popular these days. You will not standout unless you paint the mad clown of this one too!!!

 

PS ... And remember, the sport bike will need oil too! (U knew I would remind you)

 

Id kill myself.. lol better keep the War

Gregg, man I hate to hear that, but if thats what it'll take to make you happy, I say fo for it! I can;t imagine getting rid of either one of mine, but I don't hardly ever get rid of anything. I hopryou change your mind, but good luck with whatever you decide!

Looks a lot like the blue/white GSX-R bike, only uglier. [/emoticons/emotion-4.gif][:0]


LOL, c'mon, you've got to be kidding, that beemer is gorgeous! I saw one in person and couldn't keep my eyes off of it. Don't get me wrong, I love the gxxr1000. A friend of mine let me ride his a week after he bought his and I looked down and I was doing 170mph. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get there. But as I said in my 1st post, I always want to be unique and not have what everyone else has.
I think it looks kinda like a Yamaha paint scheme. The only thing that turns me off about the beemer, I just couldn't stomach a sporty with a shaft drive.....

 

Well you need to do what you need to do, but man, I have viewed your gallery over and over just to get another look at a great bike.[^]

 

Definately go have a look at a Honda Superhawk or Suzuki TL1000R.

 

I've had my bike four years now, Its still everything I bought a motorcycle for.Hope to ride it to my retirement party, ~20 years from now.

 

Vector. I like the v twin sport bikes as well. But I get very uncomfortable after about 40 or 50 miles in the saddle. If you have put 20k on your bike in 3 years and think you will continue to do so, you better think of comfort factor. (I know you have). But as for me, I can't do any seriours distance on the rockets, but then I have about 23-25 years in the coal mines, with many shifts hunkering and bending over to walk or even move. That probably don't help my mobility much now.

 

Why not two bikes. Just save up for a little bit. ****, I bought my 1993 GSXR for only $1800. for only $3000 you can get into a pretty nice 750 or 600.

 

Ehacker hit it on the head.. The 89 Honda 1000 Hurricane is just as fast as the 2007 gsxr 1000 in the qtr Mile.

 

Same here speed is like a drug to me. Thats why I switched to HD I want to live a long time.[/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

No thanks, not for me. I don't have enough self control for bikes like that. I'd be behind bars or dead within a week. [/emoticons/emotion-4.gif] Good luck.

My next bike WILL be an FJR...Hopefully it's parked next to the warrior!

 

I don`t know why.Maybe i`m getting old. but any kind of a sport bike just is`nt for me. It`s like a Harley. everyone, other then my good friend I ride with,that I met on this site, own Harleys and when I ride with them,all of them like mine cause it`s different.You have a sweet looking Warrior and you`ve put a lot of you into it. I just would`nt be able to part with my Warrior ,I enjoy it way to much.That`s my thoughts./emoticons/emotion-1.gif

 

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my bike and do not have a single complaint about it. It looks awesome, sounds awesome, handles awesome,etc. It's just lately for awhile, I've been itching for something else. I'm just the type of person in general where I get bored with something easily. As someone mentioned earlier, I have that 'new' bike lust. It might wear off and I might stay with the Warrior, but all I know right now is I have an itch for a sport bike. Hopefully, I could convince 1 friend of mine to switch bikes for a week or two. He loves my bike and he has a 06 gxxr1000.
I'm also feeling that I want to start a new project. It's very exciting bringing a bike to the way you dream it should look like. I feel if I do anything else to my Warrior, it will be too much.

 

Well, I've got my Warrior AND my SV650S. Riding my SV is kind of "ho hum" compared to the Warrior. There are advantages to the SV (better handling for the most part), but dang it - the bike isn't "fun" unless I'm going well over 100. I guess I see the SV as very homogenized. It's not a wild beast like the Warrior and I quickly got bored with it. I have yet to get bored with my Warrior. It's a thrill every time I fire it up. My 2 cents: If you can get a used sportbike as an extra - do it. If not, then keep the Warrior. Trust me!!

Hey here's an idea: find a sportbike friend you trust and trade bikes for a couple weeks. I think you'll find that I'm correct.

 

If I went with BMW it would be the K1200R , it just screams Bada$$

messx, I DID look at that model and it does have a bad ass street fighter look, but I'm
in the full fairing super sport look kinda mood as of now. But that bike definitely is hot looking.
It kind of reminds me of the mt-01?

 

I had an '03 FZ1 and it was great, but it was nowhere near as fun for me to ride as the Warrior. It was only fun if you were blasting WAYYY over legal limits. The Warrior is fun no matter what.

 

vector18,

I'd say stick with a Yamaha...Get one of those HOT looking and very fast Midnight Edition Zuma scooters! [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

Sorry! Had to do it!! [/emoticons/emotion-5.gif]

I retired from sportbikes after my son was born. Reasons are on the same lines of wanting to slow my ass down and stay in the upright position. The Warrior is a whole lot safer due to its limitations. This is me and this is the direction I have chosen. The only bike that might tickle my interest is the MT-01. Other than that I will be keeping the Warrior and get myself a nice long distance cruiser within the next 5 years.
