    I don't ride myself, but back of a street bike for a short ride (it's a rush!) and back of a cruiser for a long cruise.... Almost bought a Ninja 250 a few years ago to learn on, but backed out and just kept on the back of my ex boyfriends ZX10r

    My fiancé sold his Ninja (which he called a "street bike" as well, but, in all actuality, unless it's a dirt bike, they're pretty much ALL "street bikes") recently for the down payment on our Harley Street Glide. He was surprised how much he actually enjoys riding the Harley. It's a totally different experience, Ninjas and other similar bikes seem to be more to fulfill an adrenaline kick, to ride really fast, etc. Cruiser type bikes are more for enjoying the ride. That's my take anyway.

    Can't wait to get my GSXR one day, been my dream bike since I was a kid!! I think the closest I'd ever get to a cruiser would have to be the Kawasaki Mean Streak! They are bad *kitten*, and kind in the middle of both sporty & cruiser......I'm in LOVE with them! :love:

    Between the two, a street bike. I do prefer the more upright riding style than you get on a sports bike though.

    V-Strom :happy:

    We just got a Honda Goldwing for adventure camping.. rides like a sport bike, yet so comfortable and smooth, not to mention all the storage options. :)

    Yeah I've always loved the 750, but I don't know if I can talk hubby into letting me get anything above a 600....haha! I have a vintage 550kz now, it's been punched out and has a custom 4 in to 1 exhaust, and it tears my husbands 750 Nighthawk up! lol!

    Nice! CBR is a close second for my favorite sport bike! I love the old school color scheme of blue & white with the orange CBR, or the red, white & blue one.....

    I have had them all (currently have a 03 Hayabusa, 08 Ducati 1098s, 1975 Honda CB750, and a 2013 BMW r1200GS) and prefer sportier bikes. Can't stand Harleys anymore...I've had sportsters, a road king, and briefly an ultra. Could never get over the price to quality difference. Until recently my all time favorite all around bike was my Hayabusa. I can ride that thing all day long!!

    A few weeks ago I bought one of the new BMW water cooled R1200GS....hands down the most fun bike I've ever swung a leg over!! Lots of power, very comfy, awesome handling, etc...Also has lots of nice factory goodies: heated grips, cruise, abs, gps, etc! It is my new favorite, and I've already put almost 2000 miles on it....Hayabusa is now getting neglected :(
