Nope, but it might pass for a vibrator.

FWIW, the latest issue of Motorcycle Consumer News has an awesome comparison of the BMW R1200GS, KTM 990 Adventure, and the Buell Ulysses XB12X.

Don't think I have ever posted a shot of my day-to-dayer.

Honda AX1 250.

 

[A Harris]

Hmm, based on the XR250?

 

[Matt]

no, I have one of those too. Very different bikes. This one much stiffer, more motard style. Somewhere between dirtbike and roadbike.

Very nice bike, Matt.

I have no exp. w/ a belt, but the bmw salespeople say they're more reliable than chains. No idea if that's true.

I drive an '04 Ducati Monster, 800cc.

I'll try and get pics up sometime. I love it. This thread has some nice pictures.

Here's my bike...going to strip it down and paint it (going to stay black though). Also excuse the garage...making some changes the house with the fiance moving in.

Interesting. That looks a lot like the XR400 frame and I couldn't remember if they ever made a version for the 250. It's considerably stiffer than the old tube frame.

Finally did a tail chop along with mounting new aluminum turn signals (as opposed to the stock chromed plastic ones):

I think it looks pretty decent. I will rig up some sort of "fender" to help keep spray from the underside of the seat etc.

My new Vespa..... So I traded in the flame job one and have just gotten this back (straight swap with a mate who restores them).... A few things to go with it...firstly it needs a rack at the back for mounting spare wheel, a couple of badges (Vespa and Saigon Scooter Center) but I also want to give it a little something to kinda make it pop...at the moment thinking about a racing stripe in silver across the front and on the side panels, but not quite decided yet...any ideas welcome.

My bike was taken advantage of recently, but luckily I caught the violators in flagrante delicto:
