Seems I do, naked with long legs. My buddies tell me.i should try other things but I figure I'll stick to what works.

Get your mind out of the gutter, I'm taking about motorcycles of course...

DRZ kinda counts I guess. I'm always drooling over sumos. Not much else really gets me considering a purchase.
 
Anything that’s capable on dirt and street. Ideally a Supermoto with sticky and capable tires, seeings as how I’m 5’1”.
I’m still in love with my 610 SM after 19 years so I guess that’s my type :love

“I’m the kind of rider who’s likes a bit of everything used bikes, cheap bikes, metric/Japanese machines, broken bikes.
Including classic bikes (the kind everyone wants) and scooters.
Survivor bikes.
Cheap fun bikes …

I suppose I'll always have a type, as long as I'm allowed to paint with a broad brush.
My *type* would be *sport*, but the fleet in my garage would confirm a very loose definition of that word.
I have *sport* bikes, *sport* dirt bikes...
I've even called my trusty Bandit 1200s my *sport station wagon*.
I could go on....

Time was my garage had a Harley, a KLR and an SV650 racebike all parked next to each other. All four Japanese marques have graced my garage, plus German and Italian. No Brits, though (apart from the one I share my home with :cool: ). I love ‘em all. Two wheels, suck-squeeze-bang-blow - I’m in.

I like em all, if I had the funds I'd own 1 of everything but a full on sport bike with clipons would be the last on the list.

Any Thing but a Cruser. I tried but just can’t do front mounted pegs and controls.
 
This bike serves no practical purpose for my needs. It's probably not particularly comfortable and the handling must be garbage with presumed equally poor braking. In spite of all that, I want one. Hey, nobody said motorcycles are rational!

Used to be any bike that came easy..
BMW R50/2, Norton Atlas, Vincent Rapide, 1000013601.jpgMatchless G50, BSA Spitfire, 3 Commandos, 4 Triumph twins, then Darma, 907ie, GS1000sz, Vf1000R, R80GS, MotoGuzzi V50 .....all over the map.....but....no cruisers, please.
