It's a force of nature and can't be stopped...although I hope you don't bite as easily as the rest of the 12 riders seem to ;)

...plus I thought you were pretty much done with the thread :lol:

There's almost always a flock of eager men around :P comes with the turf, chick rider, men will gravitate :P and I'm not done with this thread yet, it's just that the decision has been made... though I reserve the right to change my mind at any point, because I can :D -J.

Which is a REAL suprise as all the 10 riders wear skirts... were as most 12 riders get around like Billy does in his "Hot Riders" pic.... :lol: :lol:
Besides we all know the MIGHTY (tm) NSR150SP beats them both :roll:
As prob the only person that has ridden all 3 (I hope) that makes me the only person qualified to comment 8)
Just because you CAN ride, doesn't mean you SHOULD

be no quicker than the 12
and imho, the 12 is easier to ride
Oh, so you bought one of the most powerful bikes in the world to lane split and ride to the hardware store? Makes sense to me....

Why the hell didn't you just buy a scooter?? :lol:
