What motorcycle(s) do you ride

I don't ride it yet (hence being in the truck), have to get my M endorsement. Open to suggestions on simple courses that get me a certificate for the DMV, as I'd consider myself an advanced rider (grew up racing competitively).

Well, out of the group my absolute favorite was the Ducati. There's just something about Vtwins in superbikes. The torque it produces make the jap bikes feel like I was riding scouters. Unfortunately the power falls off on the top end, but on a road course it has the perfect power balance. Plus its just has sexy body lines. The BMW is the only inline four cylinder that almost replicates the Vtwin feel, but it keeps pulling hard all the way up to 12k and then after that it feels like you hit another power band and it starts pulling even harder.The BMW is definitely the fastest out of the bunch and one of the best handling with a well rounded electronics package with it being the only superbike with grip heaters from the factory for those chili track mornings .. The jap bikes are just reliable. You can abuse them and beat on them and they just keep going. They don't handle as well as the others, dont have the power or torque, none of the fancy electronics, but they are just all around fun bikes to ride around town and the occasional track day or take long trips. The Duc is the most uncomfrotable to ride, especially if you try to take it on a trip due to it's aggressive ergo's setup purely for racing. The KTM was the most comfortable as you sit really low with the grips positioned kind of high. Riding this bike made me feel like I was riding a touring bike with a sporty vtwin. Either way all these bikes were a total blast to ride..

It was way too nice of a day to spend it walking around the farmers market.. If only the marker goers knew how much death and destruction is just a mere 50 ft away from them.
