Bikes that make you GRIN

[Dischord]

I'll be after a winter bargain pretty soon and after some suggestions for my next bike. There's a lot of users on here so post up the bikes that make you grin and laugh like a lunatic, the real hooligan bikes

Speed Triple with full arrow system.

Put your elbows in a weird position, a touch lardy, but it's worth it for the noise.

My 900 monster with straight through carbon cans.

Every >600 GSXR I have been on makes me naughty. My bike is pretty grin inducing to be fair and definitely encourages me to misbehave but I think mostly it's bigger naked bikes that properly do that. There's something about wide bars and a big engine that makes you want to wheelie everywhere and muscle it through corners.

The only four strokes that really do that for me are Buells and my Street Triple. Otherwise its an RGV 250, KR1S or TZR250 really.

The TZR 250 2MA/1KT is very special, and does make you grin like a loon!

1969 Kawasaki H1 500. rd 350lc 4L0. kr1

[m3-paul]

The two bikes in my sig.

My 1990 tzr250 2ma is hilarious, so light, slightly nutty and sounds epic when being ragged.
My 1997 fireblade is also a hoot, quite light, quite twitchy and also sounds glorious when being thrashed.

Both are very enjoyable though very different bikes to ride.

To be honest, every bike i've owned has put a smile on my face. The one that really gave me a grin was my Bandit 400. And I know people will shoot me down for even suggesting it but meh. I had fun.

My friend has a TL1000 and he says it's ruined any other bike for him because you wont find anything else like it.

Another had an RG500 and even his Hayabusa can't give him the same smile that that did.

And I've heard from several people about the Street Triple being amazing.

ZRX1200R (in green!) Great fun hanging on to those wide straight bars while you accelerate through a long sweeper at 140 and wheelies off the throttle so easily its pretty hard not to...Scant protection as you tuck behind the teeny cockpit fairing gives the bike a real sensation of speed and really makes you tuck in and hang on just as you should be. A very fun, visceral bike.

KTM 200 EXC - for the power delivery, when you get it right and keep it on song in some berm'd woods.
KTM 144 XC (08 - a 200 of the same year would weigh the same, but my 200 was an 04) - for being stupidly light. Goes down the bumpy stuff like a mountain bike.

RS250 for the road, maybe. Fun enough - but I wouldn't pay the prices they're going for these days.

[Alice-In-Sunderland]

RS200?

[P.addy]

TL1000S isn't too bad, I smile when I ride it but its not as dangerous as I thought it would be

Erm, can't really think of anything that would be remarkably fun...

[stinkwheel]

Honda H100.

An absolute hoot.

The highest fun to bike ratio I've experienced. Always puts a grin on my face.

'88 GPz550 with open exhaust. There's nothing more entertaining than overtaking a modern motorcycle on 20+ yrs old bike with some noise adding mods.

my friend has a fireblade, Fazer, ZX6R and keeps stealing his gf's Honda C90 claiming it to be great fun and addictive

I've had various bigger bikes while also having c90(s).
Only ever took the c90 if I wanted to save on fuel or do something on the c90 for the sake of it (ie, a lap of enduroland).

KTM 450 EXC downgeared

Out of all the bikes I've owned, I reckon the fondest memories sit with the Honda CB-1 400 & Honda SP1.
