New Ride

Just a short post here.  I am now owner of a 2001 Suzuki GSX650F also know as 'Katana".  So far I am really liking it.  Sure is different than riding a Harley Sporty 1200.  Just need to get used to how it handles and it handles nice.

Been for a few short rides.  One up to Lake Tahoe and back.  Nice twisty road.  Not happy with drivers in cars that ride your ass.  Another ride up to Virginia City which is another fun road.  Did some little rides when I first got it.  Rode out around Washoe Lake and Frank Town Road.  Fun Stuff!

Dream Machines

Since I have been writing on Hubpages on some of the 2010 motorcycles that have come out it makes me wish I was able to go out and buy a new motorcycle.  Maybe buy two since I would like to have a street bike and possibly a dual sport to run on the dirt roads here in Iowa.  My dream street bike, as always would be a Ducati Monster and still undecided on what I would ride off-road.  There is a motocrosser that I like that has a seat height were I can actually get my leg over but it is a 110cc bike.  I haven't ridden anything that small since I was a kid, but seat heights were lower back them.  The Kawasaki KLX110L thumper would be a fun ride and may be something I would get once back on the west coast were I can do some desert riding.  Other than having a Ducati I really like the reviews of the Suzuki SZ650S and if I was low on money maybe the Hyosung GT650R which had mixed reviews but with a few changes could be a good bike.  The price tag on that bike is resonable.

I will still dream of owning a Duc and hopefully one day there will be one sitting in my garage.
