most rice-able bike?

#1 Post by BigChickenStrips »

what is the honda civic or S-10 of motorcycles? the most modified, the most rice-able the one that has the most readily available mods/aftermarket parts and is always being tweeked by people?

im guessing a 600 like the suz or the kawi?

I consider rice-able to be a bad thing. :P CBR600.

Any modern Harley Davidson - there are catalogues of stuff that are designed to bolt straight on for that Custom look.

Kawasaki KLR650

I don't know of a single owner (myself very much included) that ever really stops 'tinkering', 'farkling', and 'modifying' their bike.

Harleys definately have the biggest aftermarket.

as for the ricer boy look. probably a gixxer or ninja

squids and ricers go hand in hand, only difference is the bike IS as fast as it looks.

the ricer boyz do seem to be making a comeback, guess that 3.00 a gallon gas drove them out of their 'blinged out SUVs

fucntional mods != rice. And from what i've gathered from your posts about your KLR, everything is very functional indeed. Well, unless you got a chrome one sided swing arm recently :laughing:

I second the busa.
