Default Re: The girl bike thread/poll/whatchamacallit...

My bike is supposedly a girls bike. Which makes me, supposedly, a man very much in touch with his feminine side. Some truth in that - I get a bit shreiky around bugs.

But I don't think my bike is a "girlie" bike, which I guess means its not a very "tough" bike. Its bloody tough. Its bloody hard to ride fast, to keep up with supersports 600's and gsxr750's. Its got a deep growling motor, with the most awesome overrun sound in the world, even on my road legal can. Sometimes, I wonder what a group of SV's with loud cans would be like. And I'm often drawn to a song where the opening line is "Down the plains come hell riders", which is exactly how I picture a group of SV's with loud cans coming full chat toward me.

So is it a girly bike? No. Them silly little tiny piaggio zip scooters are girlie bikes.

The SV is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

It does, after all, have some DNA of the TL1000s.....
