This is not my bike, I had something built with a similar specification, until the Filthy cocksucking Thai Pig Police stole it from me this time last year.
Any way belongs to a friend, 07 GSXR1000 with a list of mods as long as your arm, All Yoshi parts, endurance tank, Race ECU, and race fairings, Full Titanium exhaust system, BST carbon wheels, NVK Brake pump and Penske shock, Brembo Radial brakes, Ohlins superbike Forks, Harris adjustable yolk and the list goes on. The parts cost way more than the original bike.

Here is another I rode yesterday, ZX6R 2007, BST wheels, Ohlins rear etc. 600's fly on Bira, just the right size, in fact beat the GSXR1000 in a race yesterday.
Belongs to The guy behind it, a real nice man considering he's a frog

He's as so rich he could buy out Mobi just with the cash in his wallet, got this bike in from Korea for him a couple of months ago, it shat its motor 4th lap, because it was brand new and he pushed it a bit, anyway he has obviously a bit of pull with his bike dealer because they phoned the kawa Factory and asked them to get a new motor, they pulled one out of a bike on Kawa's assembly line and flew it out to Thailand, all no charge.

Can all you kind people on here give me a bit of advice, i'm looking to get back onto a bike but i'm going to do it proper like (legally) so i'll be restricted to a 125cc for a while.
I like the Husqvarna's but not too sure!
Any useful input would be good.

My first instinct would be Cagiva Mito. Cagiva / Husqvarna / MV Agusta Dealer Locator in South Africa. Find a Cagiva, Husqvarna, MV Agusta motorcycle dealer near you!But you might consider a vintage Honda. The ultimata would be CB92 Benly.http://www.vintagehonda.pwp.blueyond...1964alloy1.jpg Lots of nice 125's just think outside the box

Yes Peter, very nice legs and the bike aint too shabby either.
Are either of them available for hire?

I have a nice photo of her, which I have her permission to post but I don't want to send Blackgang into cardiac arrrest.

ray23 · 28-09-2007, 03:52 PM

Well I have my little dragstar 400 nice enough bike for my needs. But a freind let me ride his 1100 yesterday, it was amazing felt just like the 400 handled exatly the same. No jitters with a new ride at all. Two big differnces power, yuo had to really watch what you were doing with the throttle. the Second brakes very sensitive. But the comfort was exactly the same.

I think this would be a great touring bike.

Bung · 30-09-2007, 04:31 PM

My new bike. (with thanks to MtD for sorting posting a pic for me)

Bung · 30-09-2007, 04:36 PM

Haven't even seen it yet, it's sitting at a mates place. An offer too good to refuse.

mrsquirrel · 30-09-2007, 05:01 PM

How much?

Bung · 30-09-2007, 06:09 PM

230k Cheaper than a Asian 250 of the same year.

Its a 2006? the 2005 had a silver frame.

As to the price, 180k would be considered cheap?

Bung · 30-09-2007, 08:00 PM

It's a 2007. 50 hrs use. 7268 USD. They are 8000 USD new in the USA, 14 999 AUD

peterpan · 30-09-2007, 08:24 PM

I like those bikes very much and price wise it seems a reasonable deal for a KTM, don't understand the comment about Asin 250's for same price tho', an 07 Honda XR250 is about 130K.
How does it compare with a CRF 450 ?

Bung · 30-09-2007, 08:30 PM

^ Yeah, XR's maybe but aren't WR and CRF 250's about 250k new? I heard of a new '07 CRF's going for that and people were snapping them up.

Still, it's a hot bike.

Think the jury is still out comparing them to CRF's but have stronger engines even though they are all high maintenance.

Are you seriously suggesting an '07 XR 250 is only 130k? That is a very good price, I wouldn't mind one if that is true!

Spin · 30-09-2007, 08:44 PM

The XR couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding! its rubbish!

The KTM will pull your arms off

WR's etc are about 180K 2007 models CRF's a little more than that, but not new, 07 CRF 450's about 240 / 250 or so.
