Dude, let me explain. Riding superbikes is a workout! After a day of riding around Sacandaga I was physically & mentally exhausted. Mentally because of all the pre-planning while your riding. Physically because of all the movement & in my case holding of ones breath! :laugher: But to answer your ? I would say riding about a tank full was all I could handle. I also commuted with myn to work. But it all depends on the bike. Some superbikes are more rider friendly then others. MAN WHAT A RUSH!!! :bigsmile: Also, that is what these bikes are designed for. To go fast & pull wheelies!
DMoney,
I'm fairly new to the area and living in Malta and been up towards Sacandaga area a couple times but looking for some good routes to ride my 06' 1000RR. Thanks for any info.
 
But this was my last one, sold it to buy the 288. I would buy this exact bike again if and when i get another one. The sport bikes are lots of fun but 45min to an hour is all I can take, and I always end up doing stupid chit on them. Harley is WAY more relaxing....love the screaming eagle pipes too!

Nice Harley Rob..
No pics, but many, many, many years ago, my cousin and i were partners in a Triumph Bonneville. He rode it more than i did, as i was more into drag racing. It was one of the faster bikes in our area.. :D

i owned the RC51 for almost a year....bought it with about 550 miles on it and then sunk another $3,500 in it between ohlins fork, cf fender, sato rear sets and so on...and put 70 miles on it...

it's very fast...

but it will never be a duc and will never sound like one. that's why I'm goin back to a duc...

the one - the only...

Some beautiful bike pics. Been away from bikes for a few years - situation with a herd of deer spooked me off but getting the urge again. Mostly old school here but enjoy them all. Had RK's, a 73 Kawasaki 500 (anyone remember that Lime Green?), bunch of motocross bikes- CanAm's, Maco, 360mx, few BSA's etc..

Best memories were my 48' Indian Chief I bought for 350.00. (early 70's) In the winter would wrap heat tape around the case and give it an ether shot... limped a lot. It's what got me started and now I'm drifting back to those times and looking at Kiwi Indian and Crocker kits... . Probably sounds odd to some but I just never forgot that flathead sound or the challenge of a kicker.

Kinda looks like a Jesse James knock-off. Like the bike he rode with Kid Rock across Mexico.
