-Mongrel- Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 it's got to be a hornet with that shape tank Good spot LOL, there's something deeply gratifying about riding around the outside of R1's and Gixers with your knee buried in the tarmac on a 600 Hornet! Shame it's flat out at about 120/130! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Good spot LOL, there's something deeply gratifying about riding around the outside of R1's and Gixers with your knee buried in the tarmac on a 600 Hornet! Shame it's flat out at about 120/130! It's even better when you do it on a supermoto and go up the inside sliding it. My dad has a buell xb12r, the older 1 not the new ****. Awesome bike said it was the best handling and character bike he's had and that's alot, mind you we did get it off niall mackenzie so was set up perfect and had the first serpent micron exhaust and tuning upgrades upto stage 5. He's had the factory rsvr's, zx9r, the first model r1, gixer 1000 k6 phantom. The underseat blade 1000. But out of all he kept the buell, always says it's a shame about the speed as it's dead at 135, but by hell does it sound lovely on full chat.

Dirty Harry Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 DPG-SO16 out of Charing Cross happy days fudd Rather you than me. I hate driving in London and would not even bother going in on a bike. May as well have a target pinned to the bike! Benefits of being a county Mountie is that you can get out of third gear. Go steady. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Harry Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Aye,I headed north 10 years ago after 12 years dahn sarf. similair SO role in a nicer place cheers fudd I did a similar role but not on a bike. My last bike was a Honda VTR1000 SP1. I did 40 laps of the nurburgring on it and after that everything else felt a bit pointless. I gave up 5 years ago and to be honest I don't really miss it.

AlistairB Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Used to be, sold my last bike about 18 months ago - it spent too much time sitting in the garage and not enough time being ridden. Lots of trackdays done, a few spills and scrapes, but loved every minute of it. Keep thinking of getting another one, but i know that would sit in the garage as well!

Winterwolf Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Got some friends who ride the GS style bikes and one with a tiger as well .... Was really surprised how good they were on the twistys. Gonna try one of theirs next year to see what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Sarakun Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Owned a bike before my teens and have had one ever since. I hope I will always be fit enough to ride one, I just love them. My current Cruiser and my lad, who thankfully is thrilled to come with me.

lxtav Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Got a 650 bandit that I use to get to work on but at the moment and don't get enough time on it during the summer due to the kids. It's in the garage just now as the MOT has run out and I don't have the time to go and get it done again. Bike will probably wait until the spring now as the roads round me are slick with ice and I don't fancy hitting the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandladdie Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Biker to the core I just love 2 wheels. Done the road bike thing but kind of fell out of love with it, so my brother(12 years my jnr) and I race mx. This is the 2011 steed in all her glory a KTM 350 SXF. She now has some lighter wheels with black excel rims and Dunlop MX51's, and switchable efi with 4 maps. Here is a wee vid of us having a laugh. The 2 stroke on-board footage is my brother on his KTM 125 SX. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmKbp922WuI&list=UUttz71ATSyVC01AzLIWsHrg&index=3&feature=plcp If it doesn't work just copy and paste into the address bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
