Indeed. Under-rated by everyone who hasn't ridden them.

Indeed. Under-rated by everyone who hasn't ridden them.Even those who have can be surprised. Ask the Thursday night ride punters.

under rated as in they are a fast bike? too bad they look like SHIT.

Yeah they're a fast bike.

What kinda comment is them "looking like shit" to put in someones for sale thread though arsehole? They are well different looking I'll grant you, but a fuckwit statement of your personal taste is pretty weak. Even for a cum stain like you.

Who cares what it looks like when they only cost 35 hundy? Ridiculously difficult to break, 45-50 mpg, 260km/hr if you want to, 3.5 secs to the speed limit, and well and truly lose your licence in 2nd gear.

Handle better than the same vintage GSXR1100, and while it's not quite as quick on the straight, will absolutely destroy one in the corners.

Totally simple to work on, half the gixxer or bandit parts interchange with them, and cheap as chips to turn into something stupidly fast.

Mine's done 157,000 kms and still going strong (needs a bit of gearbox work but that's all). I've had it since 58,000 kms and in that time I've done the following:



five sets of tyres
three chains, two sets of sprockets (change sprockets every 2nd chain)
three sets of brake pads
two full flushes of brake oil and pads
three sets of fork seals and oil
new set of carbs - old ones had issues which could be fixed but easier to replace
two sets of spark plugs
K&N filter
20-odd oil and filter changes

Where else can you get a bike for this price you can ride 250kms to a track day, then mix it with the big bikes all day, then ride home again?

Did I mention they only weigh 210kgs as well?

Most under-rated bike EVER.

[Pussy]

Most under-rated bike EVER.

THAT, Simon, about sums it up!
Great bikes!

[Mully]

Most under-rated bike EVER.

Yep. If I could afford to keep both bikes, I probably would.

I idly considered chucking the rego for the RF on hold and turning it into a track bike. Can't really afford it - I suspect it'd get pretty expensive with all the stuff you can do to them.

Think again. Get a complete Gixxer thou front end from the states for $500us, and away ya go!

Yeah, but then Yoshi engine kits, etc, etc.....

But yeah - suspension first

before this bike i had a blackbird, cost twice what im selling the RF for.
Rf will keep up any day of the week with the bird, just not at top end or off the mark.
Value for money you cant go past it. id keep it if i could.
