I don't know about the motorcycle, but props to the Mustang guy with the bike rack. lol
Yeah that’s a terrible pic to tell what the motorcycle is. That’s funny I dont think I noticed that mustang at all. Lol
My first bike was a 2003 Kawasaki Meanstreak. Fun bike. Definitely a turd. Lol

I found what you need Zyborg, digging thru my motorcycle pics and found this gem… I saw this guy on the 4th a year or two ago…I think you could rock a romper on Can-Am..
Right on, the can-am is the embarrassing part, not the romper. Every time I see one, immediately think that’s got to be a dork out for a ride.
No respect for dudes on those faggy rides…. Unless you have some sort of disability…. 2 wheels or go ride in a car… lmao
I believe that is a Triumph Scrambler. Fun bikes.
I had a 2014. 865 CC parallel twin, air cooled, fuel injected. Horrible suspension. Was fun with the full Arrow exhaust.
It certainly seems in 2023, if you want a pure sportbike, you gotta go with the big dawg 1000 CC or greater bikes. Its depressing seeing the current offerings in light or middleweight sport bikes. The CBR600 always seemed to be the gold standard. I think modern liter (pure) sportbikes have evolved *way* beyond what is enjoyable on the street. Electronics are what has made that happen. My old 07 GSXR 1000 was fun to ride with a measly 150 HP. Now we need over 200 HP to be in the top 5 on the spec list.
Although, as others have said, super naked are a blast. The MT-10 and others seem like a riot. When I do back-to-back rides between the sportbike and the naked, the naked always makes me relax and laugh. The sportbike just wants to kill you 24/7/365.

That’s what I thought looked the closest to it. But I couldn’t find any pics of any with the rear grab bars, or with those rear shocks on this one. Which now would make sense if they upgraded them over crappy stock shocks. I’m thinking you nailed it.
Enjoying the 2wheel life again and yeah covid opened the door for me to return to my old life back in parts unknown helping people instead of destroying them.
For real bang for buck option instead of a crotch rocket get a used sportster and a drop on big bore kit. 9sec capable, but most guys run low 11s on them and they can be found CHEAP. Ive seen clapped out ones for 3500 and the kits aren’t much. I think I figured up about 5k or so build a ball buster for the streets
Good to hear from you Jeff! I don’t hate harleys, but they aren’t really my jam.. I have considered some nekkid bikes, really like the Triumph lineup for that. Street Triple…
Was there a bike in that video?
Dang, vintage Ben Spies. Guy was a hell of a racer.
I have to admit, since Moto2 switched from the inline-4 Honda engine to the Triumph triple, they sound so friggin cool. I wish every naked bike had an option for no fairings and a round headlight. I'm just over the insect/origami styling and the scoops and fairings tacked on for decoration.
This is a rendering of what the MT10 would look like if Yamaha had any style. I would own this if they sold it.
I’ll admit my next bike I get into will more then likely be an MT-07. I want a more calm naked bike, I’ve got my R1 for the speed, the 2300cc Rocket for cruising, and the groms to crash and break more bones with.
