well since this is the off topic section i thought id talk bout dirtbikes... i like KTM mostly. well for dirtbikes. i have a yz-85 Yamaha racing bike. its almost no stock parts rebuilt engine to a 105cc. its a beast lol. but its only an 85 (which kinda fits me cuz im 14 and im short lol). im gunna get a 125 from my sisters BF when i grow outa my 85 (soon i hope :p) anyway if anyone has a dirtbike plz vote. but u can talk quads and Gators too if u want.

i like the kazamizitvits yx178 2.5 stroke express, best bike on the market, the only problem with it is i haven't designed/built it yet... :cry:

I spent a LOT of time on an IT250. Nothing but fond memories. :)

Fantastic bike, tonnes of torque, capable, and very easy to ride.

First (real) street bike was a rebuild from a wreck (motor, suspension, body work and paint (1992 chev med quazar blue)) FZR1000. F.A..S...T. :D

Now I ride a VTR1000F. :D (V-twin thump, ya just gotta love it!)

Brand is just something to brag about at the corner, it really doesn't make much difference. (possible fightin words?) :lol:

Buy whatever moves you. :wink:

Yeah its along the same lines as ford vs chevy. It all come down to the individuals tastes and how well the machine is taken care of. As long as you like it, shouldnt matter what it is.





just as long as its a honda :wink: :lol:

I vote Honda, relieabilty is a must for every day use. For racing, I'm torn between Yamaha and Susuki and Can-am. You didn't add them to the pole. Very fast! :wink:
