Is your bike evil?

[stefrrr]

Doug's post about his bike being pure evil got me thinking - a couple people have bikes with "character," some have bikes without. Who has a bike that's eeeeeeevil?  

[kevin_stevens]

My black 1125CR is badass.  The only "evil" bike I've ever had was my TL1000S.

Mine's more Id than pure evil.  It's like a friendly, encouraging kind of evil.

That's eerily correct.  And come to think of it...your history is littered with those types of bikes, Jake.  Coincidence?


I think not.      

[Mr.Black]

I'm not sure that a basically stock Bandit 1250 could be evil.

[mugwump58]

Could be the KLX 250 SF is, or it could all be the operators fault. It was only doing what I told it to

[torqczar]

mines not evil , but it has anti-social tendencies and is  sometimes socially deviant , oh wait that's me , so i guess the bike's OK   then ,  it's  the operator  that is the problem.

Most of the bikes in my collection are friendly and playful.  It's my FZ1 that's evil and wants to drag me screaming to evildom with it.   Being at 137 and rising then seeing blue and red in the mirror - yeah, that's evil.  Redfox could say a thing or two about my Fizzy too.

"You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil. You're the margarine of evil. You're the diet coke of evil. Just one calorie-- not evil enough..."

[chornbe]

Nope. It's all happy and mellow and eager and even spirited... but it's not evil.

The BMW is too.  Actually more so.

I've been possessed!

Nah, riding the BMW is like having that big catcher's mitt in left field at Pac Bell Park always there to catch you.

I just sold my V65 Sabre. It could go like an evil bike, but I always thought of it as more like 007's Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger.  Once rebuilt, my 1965 CB77 will not be evil - you meet the nicest people on a...

(It was the sport-tourer of its day.)

My user profile says my bike is evil, so I guess it must be so.

I had a Suzuki GS-750 that was definitely NOT evil - the friends I lent it to had it blessed by a priest.

They told me this right after I got on it and rode straight into a ditch.

Kitty has claws, heh.  

Already tossed me into the weeds once.

[Andrew]

Evil  

  Naa just machines, but how I ride them well thats another thing  

[Papa Lazarou]

There are three types of evil bikes.

1970s Kawasakis

1970s Brit bikes, which broke down when you least needed them to

1980s Yamahas.

[maddjack]

Naw, mine are saints just like me.  
How could a nice green Speed Triple be evil, or a fun loving Versys do anything wrong. Saints I am telling you , saints.

[stefrrr]

I believe the Versys is sweet, friendly, and fun loving. The Speed Triple? Wolf in a sheep's clothing.  

[Pshrynk]

My Sprint isn't evil, more like, just a wee bit cranky now and then.

[ScottB]

1050 Triples are more like... passive agressive.

[Papa Lazarou]

Sums up the English nicely..

The Velosolex is the most evil handling "bike" I've ever ridden...

[Blunder]

A 2001 Bandit1200S doesn't seem evil. 100HP and 70 torques?

Pretty tame if you asked me, and my Harley riding co-workers would be surprised at those numbers.

I think it's the idiot and his right wrist that makes the bike evil.

[R Doug]

To be honest, I'm not sure if the bike itself is evil.  But, it makes me do things I have never done on other bikes before.  I've started to intentionally bring the front wheel off the ground and spin up the rear tire on purpose lately.  

 

[scottzilla]

Motorcycles are mechanical objects.  How can they be evil?

So you're saying you can't tell if your bike is evil, or just naughty?  

[R Doug]

I have not figured it out yet.  but, I have told it I will be depriving it of premium gas until it starts to behave.
