And now, for something completely different...

Don't expect much, it's just a page with a bunch of bike pictures and similar stuff... But you can also Meet Adi Petri and Michal Petri if you want.

A few pictures of me (nicknamed "Mitsu" on the Internet) and some friends

I've had a few bikes and ridden other bikes that were not mine in the last 7 years. Here are some of them. Be my guest... Scroll down a bit further and tell me what you think.

Sorry, these articles are currently available only in Hebrew.

Kawasaki ZX14 (ZZR1400, 2006 model)

Impressive engine, tops 300 Km/h, damn fast, yet seems too long and not as sporty as my good old ZX12R. More about it can be read in the Kawasaki ZX14 - Hebrew article.

KTM 990 Adventure (2006 model)

Wow, this is one cool machine!

More about it can be read in the KTM 990 Adventure - Hebrew article.

BMW K1200R (2006 model)

My current bike, say no more.

More about it can be read in the BMW K1200 R - Hebrew article.

BMW K1200S (2006 model)

Tried it, nice bike, I don't like it myself, only rode it for a couple of hours while I was in Las-Vegas. Any modern 1000CC Japanese sports bike will let you have more fun and will cost a lot less. However you must admit that these Germans know how to make bikes...

BMW R1200GS (2006 model)

Probably one of the nicest bike to ride. Motor sounds just like an old VW Beatle, has great momentum and will allow you to ride the second gear even in zero speeds without use of the clutch. Off-road capabilities surprised me, and the bike handled easily.

 

Yamaha MT01 (2006 model)

Wow! Now that's what I call a bike sound. If sound was all it takes to make a bike, THIS would have been my bike! As long as you keep it below 150 km/h and you are satisfied with that cruising speed, this bike has everything to offer. From super brakes, to wonderful road handling, a great right-side view of the engine, good seating, awesome engine torque.

Yamaha TDM900 (2005 model)

Easy, fun, makes a nice bike, however far from perfect. Not enough power in my view, windshield far from perfect, and there's the visual issue too...

BMW K1200R (2006 model)

Nice piece German muscle of bike. These are pictures made of one of the dealer's demo bikes. I ended up buying the exact bike, just different colors (see above).

Yamaha 500cc T-Max (2004 model)

My last T-Max (out of 3). This is the ultimate day-to-day bike, no doubt about it.

Yamaha R6 (2004 model)

Say no more, it's a masterpiece.

Yamaha 500cc T-Max (2001 model)

My beloved T-Max (the first one I owned), painted a-la Max Biaggi, on the GP500 2001 season. See the following page for more info: Yamaha T-Max-Biaggi - Hebrew (Hebrew only, sorry).

(No, the above picture isn't of myself, it's Max Biaggi and his YZR500).

Honda VFR 800 (2002 model)

Static, taken by the master - Scania.
