polished the rims, resprayed tank, recovered and upholstered seat, performance slip on, carbon look bikini fairing - did 36 000km in 3 years

then a 99 SRAD 750 (FI model) - great bike, but developed electrical problems which nobody could solve!

Powdercoated the white rims black and added orange stripes - the Shoei helmet is also my current helmet.

then entered into twins last year August. got a 2006 ER6N with 6000km on clock. changed handle bars to flat drag bars, removed rear pillion handles, added Scorch performance slip on, new mirrors and MRA screen for wind. great bike for city riding - loves to be revved!

but it was just too small (physically) and opted for a bike with semi-offroad and touring capabilities (anything except BMW) and settled on the Buell! :)
 
I've always loved those SRADs. I really want a gsxr750 and I'd love one of those models. I love the shape but I feel like after riding around with people on newer bikes all the time I'd start to feel like I needed something newer, that's the problem with japanese sportbikes.
 
i loved the SRAD! was comfortably doing 240km/h with mo steering damper running smooth and straight! loved those shapes as well - was contemplating a TL1000R after the SRAD - they sound too good! but they are hard to find, more than 10 years old and going for slightly cheaper than i bought the Buell...

I hate the way styling is going with newer superbikes. I've always loved the way GP bikes looked becuase they still have a few curves and it doesn't look like someone just had a seizure while they were using a protractor. I'd buy one if I always rode by myself, but I know that I'd start to think it looked too outdated after I parked it next to my friends bikes too many times. As a former commuter, the storage inside that tail just drives me nuts though.

Always loved the TLRs too, saw one this morning on my way to work. Physically they're just too big of bikes for someone my size.
