I had a Yamaha yz 80 when I was young. It was great.

I also had a honda trail 70 that was old and looked so goofy, I shot holes all in it with my chinese spring air rifle (.177 @850 fps) Shot up the gas tank, lights and the tires.
It's funny that now they're collectable and valued (to me still look goofy)

I rode some four wheelers that were awesome and I'd rather have one of those for offroad use. But generally I consider kawasaki highest performance and honda to be most reliable. Although it's been a while.

I had a Honda 700 cc street bike and the six speed was awesome and it was very reliable but when one gear started slipping and I realized they don't even make the engine for it so I'd have to find one, learn useless information to fix it. Then they have like no resale value.(disposable)

Now I have a Harley softail and I wish I had bought two when I had the money. I bought it used a few years ago and if I wanted to I could sell it for more than I paid for it!!! I will never sell it though unless I get another one to replace it. That type bikes a lot better to get girls too because it's way more comfortable and it looks so nice they think your rich.
Even chicks that don't like bikes get hot when they see it so all I need is a little gas in my tank and I'm good.

There are like five other bikes I'd like to own though also just for different types of riding.(I even own a chinese scooter and in the city I pass all the cars) I keep that one in a friend's garage though.
It's true though, like fat girls, they're fun to ride 'till your friends find out.

BTW, Dirt bikes a great training for street bikes :wink: 8)

Thanks, I hope you knew I was refering to scooters and mopeds, not dirtbikes. Yeah, I really shouldn't have shot it up looking back because they're collectable and worth money now.(It made a fun target though)

The old school mini-bikes are cool too, one of my friends had a 5hp one and it was fun to ride. That trail 70 was just old and ran sh!!ty.

Yep. Ford all the Way :twisted:
I pick the Kawasaki, but i have only ridden a Kawasaki and honda before. Didn't like my friends honda 100 because it didn't have the up and go like my uncles Kawasaki 125. :D
Just guessing here, the Honda was a 4 stroke slow take offs. The Kawasaki was probably a 2 stroke, fast take offs. 4 strokes have bottom end power, 2 strokes have top end power.

I like 4 strokes my self, less temperamental easier on gas more power at lower rpm's, less noise.
