It might be a 900cc and not a 600cc, but things still really just starting to cook at about 6000rpm.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteI went all the way up to 6th gear
Although I didn't give it more than 6,000RPM and I was gentle on the throttle as I didn't want to bin someone elses bike.
It's mostly due to emission law compliance that around 4000-5000 rpm range is always very downtuned.

I've got an 04 SV. Bought new, ridden nearly every day, never had a single problem with it. I wouldn't have another one and would chop it in tomorrow if it wasn't for the need to feed the wife and kids. It has no soul.
It fucking shifts though.
They see me rollin, they hatin
I just sold my bike today so I'm waiting for a tidy Fireblade to come up for sale in the Canterbury area. They all seem to be in the north island and I really can't afford to jet up north, then pay for overnight accommodation somewhere and a ferry. Looks like I'll be getting fit on the old Nishiki single speed.
hes right tho... fucked if I understand why the hell rookies jump from there learners bike to a big bored or high HP bike, feck me Im sure the only reason Im still here is due to going from a 80-125-250-500-750-turbo-etc... every bike ya learn something new on, and to this day I am still learning.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

The other thing that has a lot to do with it is attude, I have never liked smoke's avatar or his boy racer followings, but I tell ya what fella... get a bike and we will go for a ride and we shell see what you can learn, or me for that mater.
cheers DD

Sweet as, count me in. I'm by no means a good rider so I need all the mentoring from more experienced riders that I can get.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think you just missed out on the blade sale in the south island man. I watched a Tigerblade 1996 sell in chch for 3,900. And there was a black one like mine 96/97 down here in Dunedin that must have sold recently, couple of weeks. Went for around 4,500 I think. And there was another Tigerblade in Nelson maybe, he wanted a bit more for it but he was dreaming.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Now there isn't much.
Hope you get one, when you do we should meet up and go for a blade ride. I havent ridden with another one yet. I don't see many of them around

There's a fucking nice 954 up on this island under $5k.Do a big trip, it's worth it. You can park it in my garage.

I took that one for a test ride but it needed around $800 spent on it right then and with that mileage (100,000km) and corresponding resale value I decided to flag it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Details please....This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm thinking if I buy one from the North Island then that's at least another $300 on top of the purchase price, $80ish to jet over there, $100ish for the ferry and $80ish for a 1 night stay in a cheap motel, + food and fuel (and I'm not exactly rich being unemployed).
If the price is right I might be willing to jet up north.
