90s/Early 2000s Motorcycles Thread

...

I've been wanting to get an NSR250 or RGV250 to play around with as my next bike. Currently on an sv650, is anybody able to compare how they ride here?

Also is it a good idea for a fun adventure as someone with limited experience working on bikes?

>Early 00's

Arguably the worst era for bikes. Completely no sex looks. Yuck.

Case and point, this pos.

>Suzuki
>Having good desing

Ayy lmao!

I be 18 guys n liek 90s bieks cuz imma 90s kidz amirite

Any early 00's Jap bike is horrid to look at. Was a design wasteland. Not to mention the fucking colourschemes. In fact, we've gone full circle now that every jap bike looks like a plastic transformer.

This MV Agusta is from 1998!

Not in the same league, hell not even playing the same game.

I'm glad to see a fireblade but why not the twin headlight model?

Anyway, the widowmaker is a modern classic. A bike to sort the boys from the men.

>suspension will kill shit riders
>beautiful semi trellis frame

What a machine, I would own a red 97 S in an absolute hearbeat.

2002 fireblade was pretty cool imo. Also the 5th gen vfr800 and bad.

>2001

Its a cheap suzuki. It uses gsx600 katana/bandit forks m8

blegh

that is not a 90s bike you faggot

Most supersports of that gen used the same. The same gen gsxr750 hand the fancy showa inverted front shocks. Both the gixxer and the fizzer are long gone, sold around 8yrs ago. The hoist too for that matter.

That 600 was well sorted with lots of engine upgrades and made 112hp to the wheel. Ran a 11.10 in the quarter at 130mph.

Gixxer a shit

Is that an 02 600 ? I have the same bike

>tfw never see anyone riding my bike

Yeah, 02 600 from metro Detroit. Sold her in 09 i think.

Completely different, mate.

RGV250 is a blast though. Won't be as quick as your SV, but it'll feel quicker :)

Lighter, a lot more highly strung, noisy, somewhat more fragile if not maintained well, but absolutely shit loads of fun.

Dat 2 stroke power band

>tfw want solo seat cowl for VFR500 despite it not running
>and having continued to put off getting my license

I'll just make some airtech cowl off another bike fit later.
