I keep looking at Zero motorcycles because their range is perfect for my commute which is primarily what I would use a bike for. The problem is I just don't like the style and their seat height is 33.5"!

I really like the MT07 in every way, except how it looks. I think it's the ugliest of the middleweight nakeds, but the best to ride. I'm pretty tempted to buy it anyways, but I can't help but wonder if I should wait for Yamaha to put a fairing on it and sell it as a FZ7R to replace the old FZ6R. I think that would be a good move on Yamaha's part, and it would compare really well against the Ninja 650 and the CBR650F.

Okay, I was clickbaited by the thumbnail. Still I would like to ride some beasts from this video.
[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUh2t1BZHUc[/ame]

I have Honda VFR750 in my garage covered in dust, that's a gift from my brother. I usually ride it once or twice per year, I'm mostly a car type four-wheeled person, but riding a bike is somehow refreshing. I mostly read sites like this about bikes and watch videos just because I had a misfortune to have an accident years ago and broke my legs that day. Still maybe one day I'll make it my main transport, who knows.

I picked up my new 650 this past June, and have put almost 3,000 miles commuting on it this summer. It's less powerful than a middleweight race replica, but much more comfortable and upright, still runs the 1/4 in 12 flat, averages 50mpg, handles great, and looks awesome. I love this bike.

I've had my 2010 Yamaha FZ6 S2 for quite a while now. I don't know what's the problem but I can't upload a photo of my bike.

Anyway, do you guys wear
... anyone tried their products before?

Yes. I don't have any preference though. Always used what was in the bins on the shop floor.
The punches and riveters were fairly loud though.

edit; I use them for lawn mowing, weed whacking and the chain saw too.

I never have, but I also always wear a full face helmet and it usually has a headset built into it. I've never found noise an issue.

Picked up this '91 Suzuki Intruder 750 a few months ago, very different from my last bike (Gixxer 600) but I enjoy being low and slow since I'm getting older lol.
