most naked bikes are a version of another eg fazer1000=R1 and there is a naked zx9 but i don't know its name. they are similar but not quite the same. usually not quite bum-up-head-down as sports versions

i work but i usually finish at 330pm. my work is 2 min from my house but today i bludged. Z-man's right though, my wife works and i spend the money. isn't that what all good wives do. she has to cook and clean to while i watch the 500gp's. i fear a tangie comeback on this one

[Too New To Know]

ahh ok fair enough... your opinion on the bike, z?

[Z_Fanatic]

ummm if it's ZX-9 like Blayne said, what else can I say? Stay away from it? Even if it's not, it seems to be 600 or above.

[Too New To Know]

hahahaha sounds like you got it made blayne.... she got a sister?? :P hehehe j/k

[Z_Fanatic]

yeah, i wouldn't mind mail-order bride from OZland myself.

[Too New To Know]

hahha, she'd beat the shit outta ya, take your favourite seat, and crack a can of beer and skull it quicker than you wish you could :P

[aussieidiot]

actually she does and she rip your nuts off
she's18 and pretty hot. nice headlights
not certain if its a zx9 but it looks similar. i test rode the 9 when i bought mine and the only thing i didn't like was that when i rode it it felt /looked like my old 1996 gsxr750. if i'm buying a 2003 model bike i don't want a bike that looks/feels 7 yrs old. still they are a good sport tourer. i know i know they are a sports bike but compared to the new breed they are more comfy tourer than back-ache sports

[Too New To Know]

ok... so say i ride this shitty lil 250 for a while, and i start to really grow fond of riding (loved it back in my days of dirt, can see why i wouldnt now), what are some good alternatives to move up to?

I want to be able to kick alot of peoples arses, bike or car, but i want a fair good level of comfortability, and handling because i'd really like to start getting serious on some tracks after a while....

basically i want a bike that's superb all-round.. is there such a thing?

and what are some pro's and cons of each....

that should keep you busy for a bit

hehehehee

[Too New To Know]

whoa, your girl is 18? i got the impression your like, later 20's? (dont ask how i assumed that, just did)

also.. fuck i know i had another question.... SHIT.... *thinks*... ahh well, ill post if i remember

[Too New To Know]

OH OH, about the bikes, they must have a steering damper, or, if these are not worth two arms and two legs, ill fit one afterwards... speaking of which, anyone know any modification sites for bikes??

[Too New To Know]

and to all the reg's who cant be fucked typing my nick, my names Lyndon.. yeah it sucks, ive got no reason to hide it (blayne), but it doesnt suck as much as typing Too New To Know, which, btw, can i change without re-registering?

Only Igor can change your name. If you email/PM Igor@af and tell him what you want it to be, after about 2 months of pleading he'll change it... Okay, so I'm sorta joking about the 2 months thing. He tends to be a lil busy.


As for off-topic conversations... we have a WHOLE forum for that stuff. I went on a lil tirade last night about off-topic and closing threads b/c they were worthless. This thread has (oddly enough) found a trend in terms of topic, so I'm going to leave it open. Just remember, if you go into the main forums index, choose Coffee Break, then Completely Off-Topic and take a look around.

[Too New To Know]

awww your so nice tange!!! fanx for letting us have the thread! not that im trying to push my luck, but why are we so lucky as to be able to keep it??

is it my good looks? or blaynes nice bike? :P

[speediva]

hahaha I'm just hoping to one day kick all your asses on the track, so I'm leaving it open.

But honestly, (before I hijack it and turn it into something "off topic") I see a lot of good information being passed on in this thread, so as long as it continues, the thread may stay open.

[aussieidiot]

thanks tangie

as i've posted before lynden. i went out and test rode all the second hand 600's because of my budget.by the time you ready to upgade, you'll get a 2002 model for around 9kaus. things like R6, cbr600f4,zx6r and gsxr600. i'll assume that you will have a tight budget due to this purchase being on finance. i can't emphasise enough that you should spend good money on the safety gear and not as much on the bike

ps. i'm 30 but my sister-in-law is 18 and single. big problem is her dad. army reservist guy with a gun collection (inc mag357) and teaches TAFE. very scary guy
