    Automatic? Are you shifting me? What is the world coming to?

    On the other hand, I just checked out some pics of stock X-4's and the mufflers look an awful lot like the originals from a MaximX! I love that upsweep...

    Not sure why they gave it that weird rear fender extender thing though...

    I'd like to sport a 84 Kawasaki gpz750 turbo, 8) slightly 8) modified like this one

    This turbo Buell would be my modern bike of choice, minus a few cosmetic mods :p

    Aiiiieeeee....my eyes...my EYES!!! Just kidding (well, kind of). But really, that purple/yellow Vikings bling on the Buell is a tad much. Okay much much.

    Liked the Kawi though.

    What's the green Kawi in the background with the matching rims? The ZX-7R? I've seen a similar one done in orange that's just gorgeous. Envy all over. Also, the Repsol CBR900RR that House rides and the '06 ZX-6R in blue (the last of the 636s). LOVE that bike.

    Yeah, I like sport bikes. Sue me. :) The XJs are giving me a chance to try out something a little less aggressive. I have to say that even this abused XJ650 has impressed me so far. I'll likely never part with it.

    Yamaha FJR 1300 - if money was no option otherwise...

    Suzuki Bandit 1200 - fits me better than my XJ700 (and I've always loved 'em)

    Re: What would you upgrade to from the XJ, if you decided to

    with out a doudt it would be a BMW but not quite sure which one. I love the 1200 GS Adventure for the go anywhere part but their sport tuorers are better for the ride with the best half of my marriage.
    Definately a BMW though. There IS none better.

    If I was just talking id import a XJR1300 but, I think a FJR that slowly started turning into a XJR.

    Realistically,
    I'm debating over getting an old 1200 bandit or a FZ1

    I really love the looks of these bikes. I just wish they had a little bigger engine, maybe a 900 ...[​IMG]

    Looked to buy a new Fatboy, but got the Turbo running so sweet I've just been pissing away hundreds of dollars making it better and better so the urge has subsided for now.
