What are your picks of the 2 best models of motorbikes released in2009 and why?

What are your picks of the 2 best brands and models of new (road only)
motorbikes released so far this year in 2009 and please separately say
why,
for each brand model mentioned.

 

you shoulda told him simlply to fugoff..

 

Your cross-posted anti-cross-posting rant is not relevant here. Please
**** off to alt.irrelevant-crossposting where your sort is tolerated.

 

All the newsgroups are motorcycle related. That's makes them
relevant. Your reply is crap and a waste of our time. It was
also cross posted.
I like the new VMax.

 

Not to mention the fact that multiposting is BAD.
If you MUST post the same article to multiple groups, crossposting is the
way to do it. Multiposting just dilutes the discussion, and for people in
more than one of the groups posted to, it ends in difficult to keep track of
conversations split 5 ways where 1 would've been better.

 

There is no best brand or model in the 2009 range.

They're either crap and/or underpowered (eg. 09 gixer thou, all Hondas)
or too expensive for me to care one way or another (eg. Aprilia RSV4) or
both (eg. all Harleys and Ducatis)

I'd quite like a derestricted MC28 though.

 

So I guess you wouldn't like the Guzzi V7 which isn't underpowered or
under braked for what it is. Nor I suppose you'd like the Gixxer 750
because...well beacuse it really doesn't have a race class and doesn't
need one for that matter.

No thanks. Nice stats and all that but it and many of it's type leave
me cold. If one were to go your route...well I still like my choices.
Between the two you can go anywhere do most anything. 8^) But hey what
would I know when I was younger I would take either my T-500 or a
buddies anemic RD400 down dirt/clay/sand roads at the posted higway
speed plus a bit for good measure. Not to bright I admit but quiet
dooable. Mud was even more fun on those 2smokes. At least with the
zuki' I didn't worry about being on pipe...it pulled everywhere.

So to stop now...gimme a 500 2smoke over any choking 4 stroke you
like.

 

I had a GSXR750 for a while, traded it in six months ago. It was fun,
but lacking bottom-end grunt.

Me too. One of the bikes in my garage is an RGV250.

There's an easy answer: have both.

 

Normal folks would want a late model 2-stroke and a late model 4-
stroke, both of them *running*. Butt Sniffer has a 1979 Old Wing and a
broken down T500 and a broken down LS650 Savage and an old DR350 with
a beer can muffler...

But he can dream and rant and rave...

 

Oggers, why are you toying with the septics and convicts? You know
you'll never get an intelligent comment from either sort.

 

That wasn't toying, that was an honest opinion masquerading as a troll.

I might as well change my name to Hog.

 

Mechanical Monkey magazine voted the Xhingtong Wazue 125 Super Sport as
the best-handling pizza bike this century.

 

Mmm-kay?...

 

Mate, Hoglys are cheap as chips to run. Oil, plugs and filter.

They're easy on fuel, tyres and brakes. No radiator to worry about.

Except for them water-cooled ones of course, but they're not real
Harleys anyway.

 

I fully support Jinks. Makes perfect sense because:

[1] She was right to cross post her comment in order to give people
in each group the opportunity to know what she said and to add their
comments to that.

[2] Given that the quiz aked for best brand/models, and factoring in
that different countries have different models and model names, such a
question is only relelvant within national boundaries. This
newsgroup, btw, is aus.motorcycles.

My personal point of view is that the question was idiotic in the
first place. It's the sort of vapid question bike magazines come up
with in order to make their readers feel important whilst fishing for
the odd bit of brilliant text to plagiarise for their next edition.

Either that, or the dork who came up with this question is thinking of
buying a new bike and is too braindead to know what s/he wants to buy,
or, s/he wants to make sure their new bike wins some sort of
international populatiry contest.

"Best bike" is an absolute term in a very subjective fish pond, if you
get the drift of my bobbing cork.

Whichever way you cut it, the question is banal. Which raises another
point: Given that it is a well established fact that most bike riders
are in fact themselves quite banal, this question might well incite
huge interest, and therefore be quite valid within the banalosphere.

I blame the flouridation of your town water...

This one will probably win this contest.

If enoughof you write to Honda, they'll probably re-introduce it -
with fatter tyres and a lunchbox.

Where was that prce.?
I got $11,250.oo

 

Well, the previous owner disassembled the entire bike into parts, I
bought it as a project, but don't have the time, but I started it, but
I'm sure it's all there in these boxes....

The same question has been asked on several websites around the world , on
one that I regularly inhabit it was done by a first time poster. Why would
you register to join a website then only ask this question. Methinks Gerry
(Diogenes) might be right with his first reply - someone trying to win a
popularity contest.

 

Where can I get a Sportster for $1,125 (Australian)?
