I bought an '05 ZX-10R just over a year ago and rolled it out the door for $17,800, it came with a free Kawasaki "Racing kit for track days" which included Michelin Pilot Power tyres, Goodridge braided front brake lines, AFAM gold alloy rear sprocket, pick up knobs for a race stand and an Akrapovic Ti muffler :DQuote:

I must admit I actually went out to buy the new ZX-6R but the free track kit on the 10R sealed the deal, by the time I would have replaced the equivalent bits on the 6R it worked out more expensive, but after riding a big bike don't assume a 600 will handle better, the big bikes are so light and small now they are almost identical in 600's, they just require a lot more care with the throttle :deal:
That's a sweet looking bike andrewdisco....................
:yup: :yup: hey very nice CRF 450? and love the stand "just another day at the office" :lmao:Quote:

If you're into old school Honda Red Racers I also got a 1981 CR450R sitting in my lounge room as well..
Here is my ride & my bros. He rides the 660 grizzly & mine is the suzuki kingquad 700efi. Wont catch me riding a 2 wheeler on the road. Other road users are too dangerous to be around.http://www.haroc.1337thing.com/ls1/Avalanche/quads.JPG
sorry no can show today but nestled in between the 5.7 & 6.0 is a 05 wr250 yam, a bmw k1200 s and a triumph 1050 speed triple with a 3 into one pipe and a re-map she nows puts down 126hp at the wheel and is barking mad to ride.
GSXR600K1 road bike with every go fast component on it except for wave rotors which I just cant justify.
GSXR600K1 track bike pretty stock with only rear sets, filter, pwrcmd, pipe and 520 conversion.
KTM300EXC for the dirt - two stroke weaon - too easy to hurt myself on. Ive started riding in the dirt to improve my road riding as Ive heard countless times that its excellent cross training but its also a great way to hurt yourself.
These are my bikes. A 1998 VTR1000 and a 2003 CBR954 (which is actually up for sale at the mo).

I'm currently riding a 03 Cagiva V Raptor 1000 V2, Stainies, power commander III and 114rwhp. Can't ride proper sporties as after an hour it feels like you've been in a pub fight, two sprained wrists, punched in the kidneys and kicked in the nuts. Thats why I went for the Raptor, it goes stops and handles like a sporty but you feel like you're riding a trail bike.
Also got a KFX 400 quad for the dunes.
Love to post some pics but don't know how. Any help?
That it certainly is. :cool:Quote:

Previously had gsx1100, HD wideglide, haven't hd one for a while.After some indecision on getting new bike, i finally decided on cruiser over a racer, mainly cos it would be more comfortable for the missus. But after looking have found there's alot of good cruisers available - thinking Suz M109 , Yam warrior, HD fatboy (6 speed) - any comments? Anyone had a Buell?
i currently ride a CBR250RR but i have a 03 gix 750 waiting for me in october when im legal
Finally got the pics happening.
Funny you know, the first time I saw one I thought, thats the ugliest bike I've ever seen! Don't know how it all happened but I'm in love.
If it were a girl, she would be the one with a nice personality and big tits!!!
Apologies to any female members, just get carried away with my bikes.

04 WR450 with White Bros E2 Muffler. Fast & Reliable!
I had OPPYLOCK (my brother) con me into buying a road bike, so I went out and bought an '04 Kawasaki Z750, he told me this would be good bike to learn on as I had never ridden a road bike and didn't have a licence.
Needless to say I sold the bike with just 800km/h on the clock before I killed myself, just got to 200km/h way too quick, I'll stick to 4 wheels.
How do you guys keep your licences on these things?
Currently have a YFZ-450 ATV.
go out and try a ZX12r..or a ZX14Quote:

Tyres don't last too long on straight roads up here. Usually squared in the centre, with the new tyre knobs still on the sides. 4000k's out of Pirelli's isn't good on the wallet...:(Quote:

I saw a corner in the NT once. Just head straight for six hours, you can't miss it...Quote:

How do you find the handling on the TL. I rode my mates a couple of times and it nearly killed me. Seemed like it wouldn't turn in and when it did it was a bastard to pick back up again. He said he didn't have a problem and that it was always like that. We put a little more tire pressure in it and this helped a bit but it still felt like it had a mind of its own.
Great power delivery from that awsome donk!
I love the bike,mate.I don't think I'll ever sell it.Quote:

I had a track day at Barbagallo on Sunday and had an absolute ball!!!
The TLR makes a better roadbike than a trackbike though,and they sure do stand out in the crowd.:yup:

Got the same engine in the Cagiva although only the S spec, single port heads and cams are the only difference I believe. Fell in love on the first ride!
Jeffsy that is EXACTLY what i am after right now.. Very nice bike mate.Quote:
