Haha, good one.  Actually, the cruiser next to mine is a Suzuki Boulevard M109R2.  The same bike is in the 2nd picture being ridden by my buddy that I rode down to Cabo with.

CABO?...bastards....
Hows your buddy like the 109? I actually like the look of them (to slow for me) but still, at least it does not look like every other cruiser out there.

Haha.  It's a bit intimidating coming from a KLR but I love it.  Tons of power for a 700 lb fatty...can do a 1/4 in less than 12 seconds.   Faster than any Harley or even the current VMAX (except for the new one...holy shit almost 200 hp!).   Super comfortable too, like a couch on wheels.   Also handles decent for being so big and has brakes from the GSX-R1000 so stops fairly quick. 

I'm a fan of all motorbikes and have no real loyalty so I think for my next bike I might look into a sport touring or maybe the B-King, those are pretty bad-ass.  I love doing road trips and have a weak back so sport bikes aren't really an option.

How do you like the ZX-14?  Holy shit I bet that's a crazy fast bike.

Oohh yes!!!
I've got some light mods, pulled flies, race air filter, UFO slip-ons, TwoBrothers juice-box, 43th Vortex rear sprocket, Speedohealer, etc....
After riding this, there is nothing on the market that interests me now.
The power is, ah, breathtaking to say the least.
I have managed to reverse the rotation of the earth, so I'm actually the one to blame for global-warming...sorry.... ;D

I would however love to build a stunt-bike for my next project after I finish tweaking my CR. (500cc two-stroke..too slow......) Buhahahahahahahahahahahahah...oh yes.....

Damn...that sounds ridiculous.   Haha.  Hey have you seen the youtube video of a 12 year old kid who gets into the 8s on a (modded) Busa?  Insane.

A "stunt bike"?  Like so you can be a stuntman in the movies? ;)

Any movie that would have me in it would probably have a budget measured in the tens of dollars.
Naw, I'd just like something to do wheelies/stoppies/drifting/fallonmyass kind of messin' around.
I love Superbikes! I knew a couple of guys when I lived out east who were pretty good at it.

Not to be preachy, but wear your gear and keep it off the roads  8)

Ahh, that's sweet, thanks for the advice ;) When you've been riding for as long as I have, you're ALL about the gear ;)
After several trips to hospitals I still have my own skin!! WooHOO 8)
