What do you drive, and why??
I drive a Honda Phantom 200, imported secondhand from Thailand. I wanted a slightly larger bike than a 150 as I have to drive longer distances. It's not really what I was looking for but at $1000 it hasn't let me down to badly. But it's uncomfortable on the arse after 40 minutes, it has low top speed, rattles and clanks, and is a bit dangerous in the wet. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
I call it 'Babe' because it's a little pig. I will drive it until it dies. I have a suspicion that with regular feeds of engine oil, and a roll of gaffer tape (yes I found some at the local print shop/stationary/fishing shop) it will keep chugging along for a while yet. I might even strip it right back and make some sort of even uglier post apocolyptic Mad Max machine with a sidecar.
My next bike purchase will probably be a Honda Dream as I have a responsibility to help my wife's dreams come true.

Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

Honda Click. I like it, but then I am not heading out on the highway, looking for adventure, whatever comes my way. But it is a nice ride to the market or the all important drinks store.

I drive a Honda AX-1 250cc around town or inter-city.
Light, road oriented yet with good suspension for potholes and bumps, road tires, good brakes and better visibility than on a moped. Had two years and is reliable as hell.The handlebars are higher than car mirrors yet lower than those ON SUV's.
I drive a KTM 450 for off road. I shouldn't need to explain why
I also have my DR250 which the KTM superseded. Great bike (For Sale, check the buy and sell forum). I sometimes drive that around town when I want to make a lot of noise, plus as it's not my main one it does need use occasionally.

I think those huge trail bikes are pretty stupid unless its muddy.
You see the big,noisy things out in the bush with a rider dressed like a knight and along comes the daelim with the scruffy khmers on board in shorts and thongs handling the shit road just as easily.
