What is your favorite kind of motorcycle and do you own one?

Personally I would have hard time driving a motorcycle. I have only rode on a couple and I would probally prefer a Harley Davidson. They are fast and spacious for two people.

i like speed motorcycles like Suzuki, Yamaha, and Honda. i've never tried to ride a Harley Davidson, but from what i've seen at TV or at Crazy Bike Meetings, it's not something really extreme. i think they are too overrated.

I've always wanted a GSX-R or CBR. I need to finish my car and get my motorcycle's license but someday I'd love to have a 600 to ride around on nice sunny days.

the Hayabusa is one of the fastest and coolest crotch-rockets on the market

well, they're more dangerous than cars and faster too, but they are more fuel efficient and small

I kind of fail to see how that is possibly due to the fact that the bike is a lot lighter and has, theroetically, a faster rate of acceleration and has a higher top speed (depending on the vehicle). I'm, of course, thinking in terms of the Hayabusa after seeing many vids and reading specs

.. not the one I was looking for, but it demonstrates my point. The one I recall was a Carrera 4 S v a Yamaha around a track, and the Carrera came out on top, but this video works.
