I'm always tempted to get a bike... I think I'd really like one. It'd cost peanuts to run too, compared with a car! However, I would have to cross the small bridge of getting a bike licence... :lol:

Ditto. Although I think Aria's bike looks cool I think the decals are distracting.

all ours caught fire week before xmas :(

as they were just track bikes and not insured for the road and the house contents dont cover them either as they say they should of been on a seperate policy so thats £20k ish in bikes and about £15k in spares up in smoke.

quick question for you tho, if you have spare parts for your car or bike at home where you would you keep them? yea so you would expect them to covered as the contents of you garage yea? check your policies people as we got nailed on it :(

nice bike gixers, but i must admit im not a big fan of the decalls either.

It's gona be a fairly recent one, cat in the Exhaust and radial calipers!

GSXRS's do have awesomely robust and powerful engine's. And they're my favorite modern sports bike too :)

Is that a 750 or a 600? Got an old 1998 GSXR 1300 street fighter in our garage with no fairings, shortened exhaust and re-angled front forks, and it is an absolute beast of a bike.

I have an antique in the garage in bits, probably the great grandaddy to those ;)

GS550 :D

That's what I have, but mine has a better seat, and its all in dark red and black, oh and the engine needs re-building :D

EDIT: Also mine doesn't have those stupid mirrors and rear guard

Love Gixxers.

I'm a Honda CBR600 F owner but finances have meant it's not been used in a while until funds allow which is a shame.
Monkey
03-02-10, 01:41
Gixxers just have such ****in good engines. Fast and reliable, that's just what you need.

And Coiler, I just haven't got round to it yet, I will do it in the morning if I get any sleep tonight :P

agreed - I do prefer unfaired bikes, I had a (new) Triumph Trident in 93, but it had to be sold as a deposit for a house :-( Love the tone of triples.

Fairings are at their best when doing over 120 lol and when it's raining :D

Had mine since new in 02, Was the last ABS model availble in the South East! (The ST1300 had been launched)

It's heavy but handles surprisingly well for a heacy bike, mainly due to the weight being kept low, The fuel tank is under the seat, The "tank" is just a cover for the car style airfilter ;)

Still gives 45MPG and a tank range of 250+ miles and 0-60 in a little over 4 seconds.
Aaron

How much does it cost to fill up?
wonderlust
07-02-10, 08:15
about £30 its a huge tank, about 6 gallons iirc

How do you post pictures here? The info box down in the l/h corner says I may not post attachments.
Aaron
16-02-10, 15:24
Only mods/admins can attach files.. Us mere mortals have to use a 3rd party image host, such as imageshack or photobucket, or your own website if you have one and that is easier :)
