I'm almost scared to tell you guys that I in fact own a 750, am a college student, AND work at Starbuck$$$

But I don't stink or give a sh!t if my vneck tshirt doesn't plunge down to my bellybutton or wear a hat on the back of my head.

BJ that's cool. You get to drink free coffee, and ride cool bike, do you park your bike in front of the shop? Awesome

I haven't taken it to work, I broke it down a bit for some much needed maintenance. The last time I went to take it to work a coil died on me so that kinda sucked

I do drink a lot of free coffee and you get 1lb of coffee free a week, great deal. Once these 4" of snow melt I will be out and about tho

My wife manages a Starbucks. This June is 10 years. That means 1 lb a week for life even if she weren't employed there anymore I think.
Im not a hipster but I love my stock Hondas. Almost sealing the deal on a 77 550f with 9k miles in stock condition for a 3rd in the stable.
Now if my wife isn't latte for work at O dark 30 itll happen soon!

Who ever writes those articles needs kicking in the balls, hipsters weren't even invented when i was riding these old Hondas {kick the inventor of hipsters in the balls too please}

I was going to comment on the cafe style of the cb shown, which to me is hipsterish. I dont think my bike qualifies thank goodness.

Its bad enough being a poseur, but a hipster too- I dont think I could stand it.

Bah Humbug I was a hipster before most of you guys were born (cloth cap, black t-shirt,1943 British army 3 belt loop metal button pants held up with plastic tubing, 24" screwdriver stuffed in the belt and desert boots and that's what I used to wear servicing aircraft 1959-60 the sheep seem to be recycling fashion every ten years with out understanding that it's been done before and before, before ad nauseoum. I wonder when the current group of gurus will come up with something new or will my declining years be swamped with "NEW" recycled garbage.
Bill the demon.

Regarding the other bikes on the "list", a Vespa? This article clearly was written by someone who doesn't ride, cause a moped isn't a real motorcycle. Scooters, maybe.

And a Ruckus is cool, but not as much as it's Grandad, the Trail 70.

I was surprised see missing the fire breathing calf-feed-up Kawasaki H2 750 triple which clearly demonstrates a total lack of education and respect for us really cool bad-assed smoke breathing ring-ding wheel (one wheel that is) chaired Hypsters

Call me a hipster if you want but I WANT an H2 750 or a GT750 Water Buffalo. Those bikes were rockets.

I like almost every bike on the list. Mopeds are a blast to ride. We rent them every time we go to Bermuda and have a blast on them. Vespa's were and always will be fun. The Ruckus is bad ass. I dare you not to have fun riding around at the beach on one of them. I think the only bike on the list I don't really care for is the Goldwing. There I said it. I don't like Goldwings.

I know that will piss some people off because it is a Honda but I don't care, I don't like them. I respect that they are a great touring bike that will run forever. You just wont see me on one. If I ever get old enough to want to drive my livingroom couch, I will buy an Electra glide.

I rode one of those water bottles once, it was insanely fast for an old bike, but when you got to a corner you damn near had to get off and walk it around. Nothing like my Honda, where I can use every bit of the tread on my tyres, the water bottle you could barely get off the centre of the tread without feeling like the thing was going to spit you off into the scrub.

I put on my raw denim skinny jeans and went to the garage to work on my cafe project

dave500 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 09, 2013, 01:10:04 PM »

when we go riding and stop somewhere im the one with oil stained jeans and dirty hands,im going to release a line of pre stained jeans that are guaranteed to not come clean even after 20 washes and grease/dirt coloured rouge you can rub on your hands that washes off easy,,then everyone can be as cool or dirty as me.

I never said mopeds weren't fun, I just said they're not real motorcycles. And while they mentioned "your Grandads Goldwing", they pictured a newer one. But I'm sure it was a reference to the original, which was a naked bike, like our CBs.

And I'd love a Ruckus.
