NGD: Yamaha Revstar RS502T

I got one arse and only so many hours in a day man ----Send me wanna them YAMIEHOPPERS S5 -- Ill give it a good junk rubbing ;)

It would kick the butts of any 500cc four stroke in a quarter mile.
 
Of the "lot" the Suzukis where the most I owned --- at least 8 -- the Harley was the biggest P.O.S. of ALL the bikes I owned -- and one KAWASAKI I got in trade for a no name guitar back in the 80's -- might have been a 50.00 motorcycle??? still better than the Harley---

But the MINUTE I fired off a TRIUMPH TRIPLE cylinder engine----- I was DONE-- perfect balance of torque and top end with an exhaust note that is unique and totally awesome--plu the NEW TRIUMPHS are DEAD on reliable -- my Sprint had 190,000 miles on it when sold to a bloke in Tennessee that last I heard is still riding it---
I acquired a HP addiction on bikes along the way many MOONS ago-- that Yamie is nice-- but (corksniffery section here) I dont throw a leg over anything with less than 100hp any more -- my Tiger is 955cc fuel injected 125-130 HP (depending on the website) --- which is SLOW compared to the Speed Triple that ruined me for HP/weight ratios ----

IF it doesnt have the UMPH --- its not a TRI-UMPH! lol
 
Ahh Suzuki 380GT water cooled!! A sweet machine quiet but had some good power. The old Triumphs they liked to drip oil, like the older BSAs!

yes-- the new ones -- dont--

My favorite Suzuki was the INTRUDER 1400 and the Marauder 800-- both great bikes -- but Vtwins are short on power
 
I liked the Kawasaki 750 3 cylinders, lots of power could do wheelies all day long. Just wildly and dangerously FASSSTT!!

What about Norton 650 Commando EH! I also owned 3 Hondas always reliable!

Id love a Norton Commando-- for polishing and looking at ;)
I road motocross on hondas as a kid and my first EVER bike was a honda -- you COULDN'T kill em -- (I TRIED!) ---

Now days I have VERY specific criteria----

it has to be TALL so I can see (over the retard in front of me) and BE SEEN--by all the other phone reading IDIOTS on the road--(no crotch rockets or low riders) it has to have long suspension -- it has to go ON and OFF road--has to be comfy 1 and 2 up--- it has to carry a LOT of crap---and it has to be over 100 hp-- and fuel injected--- WITH a chain final drive -- no "shaft" crap--- also duel disc front brakes and 1 rear are lovely-----

and see--- TRIUMPH made that exact bike---I owned 5 others when I got the TIger-- I sold them all rather quickly --- this (as long as you have a 34" inseem at min.) is (for me after searching for "the one since I was 10)----THE perfect bike

My Buddy who owns the campground where I spend most of my summer months, owns one.
 
I already have a TRIPODIAL solution for the Tiger when I am too old and infirmed to hold it up-----
