Still learning to post pics. Hope this one is larger. I thinned out my bike inventory last year, got rid of the HD and the Goldwing, just couldn't part with the custom Valkyrie though.

I guess thats why I like the Hyabusa is its alittle bigger,Iam used to riding big bikes .....speed isnt the problem with me,its the dirt.
I learnd my lesson long ago......My 1st dirt bike was a Yamaha MX250 back in 74....yellow with black decal's....
I just traded off my Polaris trailblazer atvfor a 2007570 artic panther 2 up..didnt ride the blazer cause I figured I would get hurt like allways...I still have my sportsman and ranger,my son has a 50cc preditor but need to get him a 90cc now so my younger son can have the 50.

I also noted that the Hayabusa is the same cc as my 80 FLT (1340)....But O so much faster..

Ranger, I also grew up on a dirt bike in the mid 70's and learned many lesson's on them. In fact a couple of friends I rode with had the same dirt bike as you mentioned, the MX250. I always thought they were so cool looking with the yellow paint and the Yamaha decal they put on them at the time. They were really quick and sounded real good, just like the old Honda Elsinore's that were popular back then. Nice pics of the Harley's, really sharp! I also have always seemed to sway towards the larger bikes, but that Hyabusa is a bike that you have to really respect, that is a ton of power at your fingertips.

The only thing is that Ive been riding with floorboards and highway pegs for so long I dont know if I could get used to having my feet in a back postion......
Remember the old Indian dirt bikes,they had balls then there were the Hodakas that useally blew up right away if you didnt break them in right...


So How is Stryker doing these days really dont hear to much about them....
