I love my bike. It is a 02 Honda 919 which I have to pick up at the shop because the steering head was loose from all the stoppies.

Because it is winter 8 months a year I wanted a quad so I could ride a bike all year round and get out in the bush more as well.

I feel bikes especially from certain manufacturers have personalities. My Honda and Honda's in general are conservative and very reliable. I wanted something I could flog and not have to worry about. The 919 makes only 110 HP but it does it low in the rev range so it feels more powerful than it is. My friends on their 600's can get away from me when they have room to wring er out but off the line and especially in traffic I can stay ahead. The upright sitting position is a big help in traffic as I can see what's going on a lot better.

For my quad I wanted something really aggressive with a totally different feel from the 919. I picked a beautiful Kawi KFX450

For some reason(probably those horrible flashing ads) my putfile account won't post pics,.

My Kawi and every Kawi has a very different personality than Honda. They generally have stonkin engines great parts and rough edges. My quad is like a Ferrari with the aluminium frame EFI,renthals but it does get a bit squirrly on fireroads and could use higher bars. Still my 450 is just as fast as my friends 660 Raptor if I wring it out a bit. It is also very very slick with reverse and killer looks.
