How many 8 owners also ride?

I've noticed that there seem to be a fair number of RX-8 owners here who also ride motorcycles. I'm curious to know more about those demographics. Please answer only if you actually own an 8.

[Mods: please do not move this thread, I really want the numbers from the people who frequent THIS forum. Thanks!]

I ride an '04 Honda ST1300ABS. The 8 reminds me a lot of the V4 in my bike! Smooth!!

I used to ride my 2002 Honda RC51 ...........V-TWIN monster!!!!! loved that sound....unfortunatly it got stolen from (at that time) my fiance home......now that I'm married I am having a hard time convincing my wife for me to get another bike. I miss my bike but I dont miss riding cuz I have a great friend who has 2 bikes 2004 Honda 1000RR and 2004 Kawi ZX12R so I get to ride now and then.

Keep riding and be SAFE

Not I. The poll section is a subforum of the lounge. Nothing could interest me less than what the lounge crowd has to say.
