My love for machines

in #technology7 years ago

Hi everyone! So i thought i started with one of my passions! And it is motorcycles!

1996
It al started when i was 6 years old and my father bought me my suzuki LT80 quad. This little machine was my everything growing up!

This little suzuki had 80cc and had a topspeed of around 80kph, for me at that time crazy fast!!

Soo... i finally turned 18!!, and the first thing i did was get my motorycle and car driverslicense in 2months.
Finally i could pick up my first real bike!

The 2008 Suzuki Gsx-R 600 K8

This was me dreambike at the time with 125/130hp screaming to 16.000 rpm with the additional full Akrapovic titanium exhaust system... simply epic!!

The moment i was able to go over 600cc's (no more license restriction)
Next up was my second bike!, the Suzuki Gsxr 1000 K9!

Wooaahh... ok this was a big step up from the 600... loved the bike!
Sadly being amsterdam.. this bike got stolen :(.

After this bike my life changed... i was crazy about the screaming 4 inline bikes but... then i saw my next bike... and it was love at first sight!

2012!.
Welcome to the superquadro engines!
I welcome you my third amazing dreambike, The Ducati 1199 Panigale

This machines was something from another planet!!
With the additional full termignoni exhaust and the ecu tune this was had around 200hp! This took me right to the edge of what i thought was tooo much power for the street! Specially here in amsterdam were it is almost always busy on the road. But still.. i loved it.

That brings me to my last and current bike!, because i drive alot in town i wanted something that is a little easier to drive in town but stil has the power that gives you a good giggle in your belly and a smile on your face!.
I knew what i had to do..

The devil as they call him.. The Ducati Diavel Dark custom 2014.

This is it... all black machined wheels.. 1200cc's pure testastretta V2 power with a 240 rear pirelli diablo tire.

Amazing road presence... fast..nimble.. a real BEAST of a bike.

I hope you liked my little trip allong memory lane from my bikes!, and for the future.. i believe this year the ducati diavel wil be updated! So there will be a new model.

If the new one will be even more epic. I think we will be have a new adventure coming in the start of 2018!

I hope you liked my post! If so please give me an upvote and a follow!!! I wil do the same in return!

Ciao
