Bike history:

• 1985 Honda "THE REBEL" 250
  • ~1999 - ~2000
  • tiny learner bike. topped out at ~85kph
  • can indeed make it to whistler and back.
  • obtained from Scott Fynn
  • handed on down (to Grant?)

• 1992 Honda VFR750r
  • ~2000 - ~2002
  • heavy. ~480 lbs dry. comfortable.
  • like ~88 HP or so. very fast compared to the rebel. :)
  • bought from Carter Honda. They lied to me about it never having fallen over.
  • sold to a dude in east van.

• 1999 Honda CBR1100xx
  • ~2002 - ~2005
  • yellow.
  • also heavy. ~495 lbs dry. super comfortable w/ Corbin seat and Helibars.
  • STUPID FAST. ~165 HP. very smooth inline 4
  • loved freeways, and loved going >100kph.
  • stolen out of urbanski's basement garage (;_;)
  • ICBC is a bitch.

• 2005 Suzuki SV1000s
  • Jan 2007 to current
  • awesome v-twin sound. love it.
  • great bike around town. always turns heads with the exhaust note. (then people are like, "oh, it isn't a Ducati. pshhh.")
  • I *think* ~123 HP. less power than the XX for sure, but lighter also.
  • not really torquier than the big XX engine either, even though it's a twin (because of overall less power)
  • bought from a dude in Redding CA.
  • currently in my underground garage. (hopefully not being stolen)
