Uh yea...More Ratty old hardtails on Jockey Journal site.

No denying it.... that is a bobber.

[chris v]

These are the same bikes... not copies, the exact same bike. It is a bolt on hardtail and no matter what you say.... it is a bobber/ratbike.

Sweet bikes posted. Very nice.

Malibu_Adam, why did you sell the CBR and now want a cafe bike? The CBR seems alot more usable of a bike for everyday riding. Dont get me wrong these cafe bikes are very nice but not something I would want to put alot of miles on. I am sure I will get flamed by Chris for that statement but ohhh well.

I am going to stay out of the bobber/cafe debates. I know nothing about those bikes.

you shouldn't get flamed for that - I agree with what you wrote.

Those are nice bikes for short rides and looking good, but not for every day rides and long rides.

I have an 07 Yamaha R6 for the track and zipping around fast! LOL... this is a different type of bike. It's a piece of history to me.. In comparison to cars... its like having a 2007 Dodge Caliber, or a 1969 1/2 Dodge Superbee with a six pack! =) (If i already have a 2005 Dodge Neon and can get either a 2007 Caliber or 69 1/2 Superbee... im all for the Superbee!)

PS.. i would ride that sucker till my butt fell off.. even then, id probably just stick a pillow in my pants! LOL

I understand. I wasnt trying to insult the cafe bikes at all. I didnt knwo oyu had a R6, I just was thinking that if I could have one bike, I would want something a bit more diverse. I agree with the part of history. I like vintage stuff. I used to collect and restore classic bicycles.

The only one I have left..

The only one I have left..

sweet ride, I love the color. It even looks fast sitting still. My buddy just bought an 09 GSXR-600. I would love it if he let me ride it. He bought it as a second bike to his BMW touring bike. He is going to turn the geexer into a pure track bike with race slicks.

TRACKDAY last week

sweet pics Chris. What track was that at?I am guessing its not one of the major tracks since your lights arent taped up. I would love to take the beemer out to the track. Pop the side cases off and open it up with no worry of cars or road condition. I am always a little conservative on the street because of the unknown and potential hazzards. I would love to just rip on the throttle and see what the bike can do, and well what I can do as well. I have a feeling my sport touring tires will give out before I run out of lean angle and that parts scares me a bit.

It's the go cart track at Prairie City... it's very tight and technical. Lots of fun though. They open it up to motards and minis once a month.

Darn, I guess that leaves my beemer out. Do they really limit the type of bike? I would be willing to bet the RT is more than nimble enough to have some real fun on that track. I have been there and seen the track. I would love to have a go at it. Is there any speed limit? I know to really seems like a stupid question since its a track but just curious.

Yes, they really do limit the size of the bike. My DRZ, being one of the heavier bikes out there felt a little to big for that track... I would think your RT would not be to fun out there... it's really, realy tight.
