Why do I question your mechanical skills, with the only tool in the pics being a big hammer? :lol:

This wouldn't happen if you didn't try to keep up with GSXR's!!!!!

(Of course the same thing happens to GSXR's when they try to keep up with Yamaha's!!!!)

And Yamaha's when they try to keep up with Kawasaki's... its a vicious cycle.

I can make any bike keep up with a Kawi, just tie a large boat anchor to it. Normnally I would say tie the Kawi to it, as "boat anchor" and "Kawi" are interchangable terms, but in this case it would defeat the purpose, as the bike would then pull the Kawi along like a stubborn puppy, except faster.

Wow so when I buy my first bike I don't know who am gonna ask to go with me to pick it out. U all r so focused on which goes faster, so which one is better all around?

just becuase some one is responsible with a kid doesn't always mean they can handle working with tools. LOL look at me I'm a great mom but give me a tool and watch out! I think I will leave any future car/motorcycle work to professionals. LOL :)

Have fun though.

Total number of BMWs wrecked at tracks days...lemme see...carry the one...and that comes...yep...zero.

Now, lets start adding up the Kawis that have been down...and to be fair, it will just be folks on this board....

Its really a Ford V Chevy kinda aurgument, its just fun to talk trash. Motorcycle and indeed motorcycling can be rationalized in a logical sense, but the pursuit is really an emotional one. So as it has been said before, get the bike that gets your blood pumping

Does that mean you can push a Kawi but Beemers are to touchy to push?

That'll win races. LOL just kidding. I see BMW's all the time on the lawn of the bike shop on Wads and Colfax. Nice looking bikes.

It would seem World Superbike agrees with that assesment

Manufacturer Standings
1. Ducati 135
2. Yamaha 110
3. Honda 73
4. Suzuki 65
5. Aprilia 57
6. BMW 31
7. Kawasaki 8

I should piont out to Trevor that the Gixxer Squids are also leading Kawi in the pionts race.

I know, they aren't track bikes. That didn't stop me from dragging valve cover at PMI, again, its just fun to talk trash.

I do believe there are less kawi's on the grid cause only a few can handle the awesomeness in which they are.

You can believe that. But to quote Bender; "I can believe my ass is ice cream and that don't make me a hot-fudge sunday!" It would appear the folks who have them on the great can't handle their (finger quotes) awesomeness (/finger quotes) either, on account of they suck.

Damn gixxer rider riding without a helmet has made you blind to the fact, that a ninja has more awesomeness in my right blinker then your whole bike.

Taking it apart with a hammer is mediocre.

Putting it back together with only the hammer is mad skilllz.
