Motorcycles are a lot of fun at speed. Twisty roads, high speeds, accelerating down on-ramps, etc. But in reality, we often spend a lot of time in traffic cruising at the speed limit or just trying to get from A to B without getting a ticket. So the question is, do you enjoy riding even when you’re just cruising along just to get from point A to point B? And a follow up question, do you _ever_ get bored while riding? ---

I enjoy street riding and never got bored. I probably ride to slow on streets…:lol Sitting in traffic sucks no matter you are in a car or bike, but Albany usually don’t have that problem. ---

I knew I would be the odd one. I get bored a lot ☹ I’ve got a lot of respect for the true riders who love to ride at any place/time. For me though a sportbike is too uncomfortable to enjoy cruising with. Sometimes I wish I had something more practical that I could ride daily. ---

I wish I have something more practical that I could commute with and actually carry stuff. A guy I know just bought a R1200GS decked out with all the containers you can buy for that bike; Not that I would spend that kind of money for an adventure bike, but a 650GS would be nice… ---

I hate to beat a horse to death here but if you want to enjoy the streets buy a street bike instead of a super sport. I’ve rode for the entire past week and a half, with getting out at 8am and brushing the frost off my seat because it still beat the hell out of a cage. ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/8e8473d3.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/8e8473d3.jpg) Plus bikes can give you views cars can’t ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/4a30d395.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/4a30d395.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/6a3e0847.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/6a3e0847.jpg) ![http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/d1f2e2b9.jpg](http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q26/vovchandr/d1f2e2b9.jpg) Got out of work and went across the street to get some views that will never be there again as the new building will be up within a year and Wash ave extension section will be moved next to the highway.

'05, best $3k ever! This thing revolutionizes the way you view the moto sport, which is priceless. Got it with somewhat “high” miles - mid teens. ---

I do enjoy the cruising aspect of riding a motorcycle, but much moreso when I’m riding with people than by myself. Then again, I guess it’s the same thing with the performance side, as well; I enjoy beating the crap out of my bike a lot when I’m alone, but even moreso when I’m riding with others! ---

Who else said NO. lol The seat was rock ass hard on my KTM SMC… cruising for more than 10 miles numbed your ass! Also I dont like half-assing things, so I take my daily driving SRS and my riding SRS… as unsafe as that sounds I guess. I race hard, ride hard, drive hard, work hard, KK doesnt pussy foot around. ---
