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 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.

My Bikes

1st 1993 FZR 600

3rd 1999 Harley Davidson FXST ( Lots of Extras!! What a money PIT!! I don't think i will ever buy another one!!!
4th 2004 Kawi 636.

I would say the best bike to be the 01 honda. It was the most coftable of the sport bikes.

The Kawi being the fastest!
