I got caught by the copper just out side a village a few weeks backOriginally Posted by mrsquirrel
No one around so I pull a wheelie up the road and a fucking copper jumps out from behind a tree and yells YOU YOU YOU and shaking his finger at me. So I did what most people would do nailed it up the road until he was out of site not as if he is going to catch me.
It was easy. SHe wanted me to find the car keys so she can wash the car. Why does she do these things when she has been drinking. Why not when druing the rest of the bloody week?your missus must be easy to please it was a hole 15min between posts]
Ok back to the bikesOriginally Posted by mrsquirrel
I am looking at buy another bike soon That will make 3 real bikes in the shed Shadow 1100 and a Harley plus my dirt bike. Then trade the shadow in on a sports bike and I will be a happy man with one for each occasion
Rigger
I am selling my Honda Blackbird '99 FI.
Not quite got teh sports bike handling but she is a fucking lovely ride but I am not going anywhere on her and she is only getting used once a week for an hour or so.
Bought at Redbaron so you know she is a good one
Lets see the pic then how much just looking mind youOriginally Posted by mrsquirrel
I would expect around 240,000 for her. Full titanium exhaust, MRA screen Oil changed every 2000km (only put 6000 on her in a year).
16tooth front sprocket but still have 17tooth somewhere.
Never changed to my name so in Redbarons name still so nice and easy to change.
Magazine featured.
That SRX600 is a sexy beast. I keep on thinking about buying an SR or SRX 400/500/600 but my wife has said that she'd leave me if I did.
I'm still debating: Wife... Bike... Wife... Bike..
If I post a picture of a new bike, you'll know which way I went!
Nice bikeOriginally Posted by mrsquirrel
Last time I put my missus on the back of a sports bike R1 I made here cry
That aint no sports bike.,
It's a Hyper Tourer
I have a V Max that I have spent "too much" on over the past ten years that is looking for a new home, if any body is interested?
thats just a flash name for a big sports bikeOriginally Posted by mrsquirrel
So the Blackbird is essentially a CBR 1000? I haven't been keeping up with the sport tourers. Looks like nice ride. Price seems fair too!
No BLackbird is the CBR1100xx
1100cc 138BHP at the backwheel. 220kg
Not really the same thing. A Hyper Tourer is too big and heavy to be a pure sport bike. It has a more comfortable ride though so it is suitable for longer trips. My CBR954RR would be faster than the CBR1100xx in most conditions though it may have a higher top speed.Originally Posted by Rigger
On the other hand my bike is much harder on forearms and butt after an hour or more in the saddle.
Yeh thats what I am after a big sports bike with a comfortable seat for longer trips
Like a Honda Blackbird
Nice bike MrsQ and easier on the knees than the CBR954RR would be.
For sport touring that focuses more on the sport side try ....
Honda VFR800FI
Kawasaki ZX9 and ZX12 (Not the ZX10, the 636 is supposed to be ok for long rides too)
Honda VTR
Suzuki Katana (GSX, not GSXR)
I have owned both a VFR800FI and a 600cc Katana and found both of them to be ok for touring. Katana suspension is to soft for real sport riding though.
No thats a Hyper Tourer not a big sports bikeOriginally Posted by mrsquirrel
I use to have a VTR 1000 great bikes wheel stand heaven and a mate has got the VFR800 very nice machine. I have rode the ZX9 before and liked the feel of it more so than the R1. But I will just wait and see what is around in the next month or two have to pick one that the wife will sit on so I could probably get away with a more of a sports bike as she has a small assOriginally Posted by Sanuk Canuk
maybe what u need is a the little brother version of MrsQ's bike ......Originally Posted by Rigger
the Honda Fireblade 900cc!
and mine is up for sale in the next month or so!
Hang on the ZX9 for a year and I will make you an offer
A year?? I'm planning to import a new Yamaha R1.
