chippy18 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I hate you Chippy. LB So does my wife as i have just decided to trade in and get the new 2007 version which has a slightly more powerful engine. On the downside of these, my insurance is �1100 per year and i have a �500 excess. Last year some **** at the Ace Cafe charity run put a big split in one side of my front cowl panel. Cost � 1400 to replace so hence the high premium. Cheers :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Started riding when I was 16 on a Fizzy! Then bought a GSX250T when they first came out. Nice litttle bike with 'twin swirl combustion chambers'! Passed my test on that, but it came to an untimely end. After that I had a Kawasaki KZ550. Had it 18 months - it went through 2 steering heads sets, front wheel bearings, and a complete exhaust system. I got rid of that one. Then for years I had a GS 850G - loved the shaft. My current mount is a '98 VFR800 that's now got about 60,000 miles on the clock. My daughter's been going on the back for about 5 years now - she's nearly 13. She's cost me a small fortune in gear, but it's all worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reckon that it can really muck up the exhaust settings even if a new aftermarket pipe set is added and set up on the dyno. But hey who wants it, they fly anyway.

Red 9R Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 ZX9 R C2 love it but next year will be my last with it (got to do Nurburg ring befor it goes) thinking of getting a supermoto to replace it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Red , did the Ring last year - awesome, but bloody scary Me and my Bruv, (another Blade), are probably going back this year. Now we know exactly how to get there, we reckon its virtually do-able in less than 3 hours. The other big bonus is that the roads are incredible in Germany, (rubbish in Belgium), and they love fast bikes/cars and get out your way. A top place Oh, the beers not bad either P.

Axe Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 "Honda Pan Euro" "proper go faster bits!" These two phrases just dont seem to fit well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
