  2. The difference is quite simple....
    Someone who feels the need to describe his bike as a "Superbike" is clearly challenged in the penis dept, and probably unwittingly sports a camel toe when bragging as to how "super" his superbike is.

  3. How does supersport fit in?
     
  4. Another easy one....
    Someone who describes their bike as "Supersport" generally wears frilly panties, and suspenders under their leathers.

  5. Errrr....awkward
     
  6. I have a Superbike and a Supersport, too. Some days I really fancy myself :)
     
  7. Yep, you wanna go to Mars, only way to get there ;)
     
  8. Yes it is; when I'm riding my supersport, the suspenders play havoc with their persistent chaffing; and don't get me started about how uncomfortable the frilly panties become when hanging off the side of the bike while getting my knee down.
    Then there is the high heel issues, but I won't go into the details of how they affect gear changes!
     
  9. I thought it went on racing classes.

    Supersport being a sportsbike. 600 cc il4, 675 cc triples, 750 cc twins

    Superbike being a superbike.

    What ever the rules of that are.

  10. I saws its. Your just wrong. I am 100% correct. Your not gonna chinese burn me into submission. It was the 1st modern super bike. The Z1 came later (obviously), later refined and improved by Suzuki's GS. A much better machine all round, spawning the Gixxer. Churchill would've ridden a gixxer. Oh yes he would.
     
  11. CB650?
     
  12. I might've meant the 750. but i'm hoping no one notices
     
  13. Don't worry, only I did and I won't mention it again :Bag:
     
  14. its my 49th soon. its all downhill...
     
  15. I'm sure that I read somewhere that the Z1 was originally to be launched as a 750 / 4 and not the 900 /4 that we associate it with today.
    Apparently the launch (unbeknown to Kawasaki) coincided with Honda's CB750/4 K1? to which Kawasaki got beaten to the punch, so rather than lose face they withdrew the bike, bored it out to the extra 150cc's and thus the legend was born.
    Talking of the CB750 /4 wasn't it the first to be called the Superbike, with DOHC, Disc brake, self starter etc .

    BTW,I think that the CB650 came much later in the CB (City Bikes) line up, with the flagship 750/4, then the 500/4 which became the 550/4 then the 650/4

  17. Sort of right yes, Honda were well ahead though by a good 2 years, so they switched to 903cc
    Honda launched in 1969, Kawasaki in 1972 - didn't take 3 years to bore it out ;)
