Default (05-23-05) Would you buy the same bike?

If you could go back and re-do your last bike shopping experience . . . would you buy the same bike?

If you respond with a "no," post what you'd buy.

[EDIT: I'm a "yes." The 600 Bandit is absolutely what I need at this point in my development.]

I voted yes, becuz I really enjoy riding my Kat.. it does exactly what I want too, its easy to mod, and once you get rid of the stock rubber, it handles like a dream.

If had more cash, I may have went for vfr800 interceptor.. but still staying in the sport touring world though.

I voted yes... if they still made it. Sorry M50ers I think I would shop around if I were buying this year. I am fond of the standards or the sport tourers. Bandit, V-Strom, Triumph Bonneville, but I like my Swan Song Rodder.

Yes, but not the '05 model! My 1400 has a 4-2-2 exhaust, the '05 model has a 4-2-1 with a monster pipe on the right side. If I had to take a new '05, I would order it with Acropovic titanium headers and can.

I would definately get another Gixer, and maybe in a couple of years I will try a 750.

I would have picked up the C90 if I had done any research before I bought.

I voted no.

Don't get me wrong the C50 is a nice bike but I think a C90 would be nicer!

Yes, but it would still be the 02 model or maybe the 01.

If this was to buy and have only one bike then definately yes. The busa may not be a corner carver but with experience and effort I have yet to be flat left behind anywhere aside from a track.

If this is for a second bike, then no. Looking at a 750 for a track bike right now

1.yamaha warrior 2. kawasaki mean streak 3. suzuki m95(last only due to the fact I have not heard much about them.)

Would I buy the same bike again? Yes.

Does that mean that I wouldn't consider other bikes? No.

Like I've said, the Yamaha MT-01 is just too nice not to consider it ...
And the Triumph Speed Triple is also so nice ...

yep, my m50 is more than enough bike for me and isn't a fast bike (good thing for me heh heh), comfortable, fairly easy to ride and looks killer.
