Hey Guys, Weird Post, Need a MotorCycle that Matches My Bird!

As you guys know i’ve been running into sersious troubles with my bird, so i want to get a motorcycle once i hit 18 in march, not the new style crotch rockets, (nothing wrong with em) because i just want a good lookin, chrome and black, with a decent kick, but its not neccesary for killer speed.

The reason im asking you guys what kinda bikes youd recomend is because i want it to match my bird/personality ill post a pic of my bird in a little, its black and in a while with black tint...

let me know what you guys recommend, money is a concern...

THANX!



oh i found the only pic i have at school, its a psp job with C5 rims i was thinking of doing...

If I were getting a bike I'd definately have to ride a crotch rocket. I just don't get into the whole cruiser thing. To each their own, though.

I second Mark. I hate the loud *** exhaust more than anything. I get a ticket for my stereo being to loud due to a city ordinance here. And some of these guys are runnings wide open exhausts.

you could get a Ninja 250....but that is slow as hell....a good started bike is the 600cc class.....look into Yamaha's R6 and you will see why i reccomend it....go get some sportbike mags and read a little.

Not flamin anyone, but its weird how guys here like their cars to sound "tough" and would hate to see a thirdgen with Euro sounding exhaust, but when it comes to bikes, like the Euro sounding exhaust and don't like the "tough" loud sound. Personally, I love the sound of a Harley. My dad has had quite a few, and plus I just don't like the crotch rockets. Neither the look or the sound appeal to me at all. Good luck man.

Bikes are small and sleek, need a softer smoother sound, but a big bold car needs a tough, loud, killer sound.

Nothing against harleys and all them, they are nice bikes, but I'd rather the crotch rocket, if I want to go cruisin far Im not choosin a bike, If I wanna zip around for fun on the other hand Im gonna hope on a rice rocket.

sport bikes are very different then cruisers....the sound they have is High Performace.....That is the sound that motor makes, it not some exhaust just designed to make that sound....I would like to see a H.D. Rev to 14,500 RPMS and make that low rumbbly sound......
