Show your bikes

Dear All,

I would imagine that quite a few of us Rolex enthusiasts are also fans of motorcycles. Me personally I had been into Italian bikes (mainly Ducatis) for quite a few years at a younger age, but lately Harleys grew more and more on me.
It would be interesting to see pictures of the member's bikes, I will start with mine:
2016 HD Night Rod Special slightly customised
2009 Buell XB 12 S heavily customised
Please keep the pictures coming!
All the best,
Adam

There's a thread with 1071 replies :p

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...ighlight=600rr


I've had many and i've ridden many more.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's no different than with the watches for some of you :)

It all started with an F3, many years ago in Germany.



After not having a bike for many years, in the states, a 600RR


F4i




The most fun bike of all times, RS125GP





My Favorite bike





Daytona in new colors



ZX6R



The last of mine is the 600RR street bike. I have nice watches now though :D :D :D

I commute on bike every day for 15 years. A Sportster then switch to Ducati Monster, then added a Husky TE 630 to the stable. I sold both bikes a couple of months ago. I’m planning to get a Monster 821.

Here’s my Italian beauties:

A few a few too many according to the wife

Thats number 2 grandson on the Honda Blackbird.

Sent by Taptalk from my phone which rather annoyingly and randomly rotates my pictures the wrong way around whenever it takes a fancy. I am sure the damn things got a mind of its own. :-(

This is my current ride. A 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S. Best bike I've ever owned.



Why is it that whenever I take my bike in for maintenance it is raining?

Another pic.

Just sold my latest Ducati:



The plan is to find a mint 998 and be done buying/selling bikes for good. :)
If my friends don't convince me into a Multi, SDRider.. lol

I rode coast-to-coast a year ago in 60 hours on this BMW GSA:

Then baby #4 came in Feb and I had to go into semi retirement. But it was fun while it lasted!

Is that a Streetfighter 848? I rode a yellow demo model of that bike shortly after I bought my Monster 1100 EVO and I instantly thought that I bought the wrong bike. I took that same bike for a spin a couple more times and always loved it.

The Multistrada was another bike that I rode a few times as a loaner bike. I proclaimed then that if I could own any two bikes on the planet that the Multistrada would be one of them. The last time I rode it I traded my Monster in a few weeks later for the bike I have now. It just seems to do everything well. It’s fast, it is comfortable, you can commute on it, you can do long distance touring, you can take the bags off and go canyon carving or even do track days.

Yep, 135hp superbike with flat handle bars! haha I ride with 2 saleman and multiple others on Multi's and boy are they fun. It really is the best of both worlds. Our buddy Doug moved out from the east coast and has some hilarious trackday stories from his Multi smoking full race bikes. :)
I was looking for a 1200 evo/s Monster when I got it but ultimately just want to find a really mint 998 and call it a day. My more experienced Ducatista brethren have warned me off of the 916/996 for the flaking valve issues so I've been limited to a 3yr window of bikes to find. The plan would be to get the nice "R" package bits on it and have my friend do a nice red with white factory number plate paint job.
