Sprint ST/GT or CBR1000?

[SVboy]

Ok so seems I need to roll into some shops and TELL them I want to ride some bikes. Id have to say the local yamaha shop was the worst for letting us test ride. Havent been in there for ages though. SVboy how much are you wanting for the FZ1? Blackbirds seem well priced too... I was told to check out a ZX14!! thats a lot of bike

I want $9999 for the Yamaha. There is a listing in the for sale section somewhere. Very well priced for a 2009, and only 21000kms. I think it may fit the bill for what you are after.

I have one for you...

Only 128hp but a look at some dyno charts will show huge torque/hp advantage over your vfr800 over the whole range right up to its redline!

For that price, look at a VFR1200? I too have an 800 and avoided the 1200 based upon some reviews. I rode one a few weeks ago and really, really liked it.

My 2012 blade is all set for a 4000k ride down to the Burt and back, it has been there twice before and a couple of Brasses from Central North Island. Rather take a blade than a 'bus'a. I'm 6 foot 2. 1000k days good as.
Alot of posters dream to have what they display in their avatars. Some have keyboard 750's on interest free.

Crikey. I have done a fraction of those miles on a Blade & it crippled me. Same height as you. We're all different I guess.

I've just brought a 06' with 37k on the clock. awesome condition just in time for Xmas & the TT2000 in Feb

I own an 08 fireblade so maybe I'm biased but I think it's a far better bike than the Triumph unless comfort is the ony thing you care about.

I rode a Sprint GT 1050 a couple of months ago and it was definitely more comfortable but it the engine was boring/gutless, the suspension wasn't great, and the gearbox was clunky.
To be fair, the obvious lack of maintenance on that particular bike may have contributed to some of those problems.

Hey there

I have a sprint st for sale if you are interested?

I agree about the weight, but still pretty quick and sounds great too.

[Coldrider]

Chch to Qtown today, really comfy.

All quite interesting, I have seen that sprint on tard me and had it saved to wishlist but Im more looking at under the 10k mark. When I actually get some time Im going to go round some bike shops and try some bikes out. Id like to take a busa or zx14 for a spin but avon city dont have any at the moment! Might even look at an R1. I had the VFR out last week and had it tapped in 6th gear for ages... yeah, need something a bit gruntier. Thanks for the feedback people

Hey look, a fucking idiot!

[nzbiker86]

Under $6k for mine if you are keen?

Maybe its a bad idea to try sell a bike before xmas...very little interest

Hey look, a fucking idiot!
