Mossy. Pick of the week.

[husaberg]

Was talking to one of them yesterday and up close not as attractive as an middle age mans imagination would have first implied.

Pics or it need not happen again.
Ps don't be so sure, I have a very vivid imagination.

It would be easier if you just came around and asked her out seeing as she is single.
If I get very brave ill ask her to do a photo on the GTR when im listing it for sale. Its unlikely to happen but just the possibility it might should keep you amused for a while.

For a few minutes at least I remember though there were other sisters and a hot friend the more young women on the thing the better the chances of selling the thing.

Hot friend rides a Hornet 250 and shes looking to join a Wellington riders group as she has nobody to ride with. Im not sure if one man is considered a group but ill ask. Was going to suggest she comes for a ride to the Kiwi next weekend but she hasn't visited for a few weeks.

Well that Explains the lack of quality pictures of her you have posted. Since we all requested.
Have you considered that as she rides a Honda she might be a lesbian.:cool:

They may in fact be lovers? This changes things. Your wise and I should have just taken photos as there was no chance from the beginning. Why did I ever doubt you?

one of these days i will buy a steam cleaner, till then both bikes just get a good clean where i can get to and when i have bits off for various reasons then a bit more of a polish up.
can understand not wanting to get it dirty if selling but i see so many bike adds on TM where the seller is claiming that "hasn't been ridden in rain" or "most kms done in dry".

I'm thinking of selling my 660 tenere and will have to be honest. It's well maintained.
It's been through rivers, up to the seat, but never dropped in one, its been up past the black stump and dropped the odd time, it has all the necessary guards to protect it and they have some marks to prove their worth, the rest of the bike is unmarked and yes it's been ridden in the rain "heaps"

How long ago Mossy, I have never rode one. But I am picking supertanker.

[mossy1200]

Think it was 3200 I offered and was about 5 or 6 weeks ago.
Ended up with the 2005 bandit for 3500 which seems a bargain considering how well does everything. Maybe not nearly as much power but enough to pull in top gear from as low down as 60kph.
I never owned one either but I did have a zx10 which is what this replaced. One thing the 10 did was loaded up with lots of gear and passenger and performed almost as well as unloaded. Unless your trying to carve up other bikes in the twisty roads they would do well.
I would assume the zzr1100 would have been much the same with a little more top end power as the 10 was.

The bro had a ZZR1200. Nice touring machine, no real faults that I noticed.

He also had a ZXR1200 until recently, which I liked better, most excellent mill, smooth as silk, power everywhere.

super tanker?? naaa but not a full blown sports either hence the sports tourer category, the operate best with the throttle and though they wont keep up with modern sports bike they are no slug either, only thing needing done is tightening up the suspension if it hasn't been done already as they are only set up for an eighty kg rider and once ya put a 100kg rider plus 120L of luggage and the missus on the back well they kinda handle like a whale, but once set up properly ya hardly notice. awesome bikes is all i can say :innocent:

They haven't really changed it that much visually either; fork gaiters, shorter front mudguard, bit of a cowling on the headlight, new seat and moved the rear light, lick o' paint, drill a few holes in the chain guard and voila. Seat should have been styled that way from the factory.

[F5 Dave]

Forks should have been 1/2 a foot shorter, bars 1\2 a foot lower, there's a multitude of thing the gn should have had different from std .

Its likely to go very well anyway. the idea would be own it until full licence then sell it and buy bigger bike. At that price its likely to not lose many dollars if looked after. Idd say its 2k under priced already. I think they were 17k new.

"The air-cooled, fuel-injected engine is essentially identical to the larger 696 Monster, mated to a six-speed transmission and producing 38kW at 8250rpm and 46Nm at 7500rpm – a 30 per cent reduction. The major point of difference between the two machines is a physical stopper on the 659's fuel injector body that restricts the throttle action by a few millimetres. The stopper can be removed, however Ducati says it is illegal to do so"

Why wouldn't you just buy a cbr250rr for a couple grand. Fix it up a bit and then save the rest for the new bike. The 250 fours sell pretty easily.

But you would get the big bike feel which helps if you eat too many pies.

Couldn't you remove the restriction and then just ride it on your learners. I'd imagine that the restricted fuel body would easily go unnoticed if it were to wander off the bike. I doubt insurance or the wof people would be any wiser about it.

Other than the 659 is lams and at 170kg that's likely max power to weight ratio but likely has more torque and power through the entire rev range plus its on good suspension with gear normally available on larger bikes.

Never owned a Ducati but they cant be all bad.

[mossy1200]

I don't even know how long it takes get full licence but idd rather own the monster for 12-18months than a 20 year old 250 inline 4 that could blow at any stage and be worth nothing if it does.

Apparently you can get it very quickly if you do all of the cbta over the course of a couple days. The bronze course instructor from what I recall said that you have to ride a year on your restricted no matter what before the license automatically comes in the mail.

Other than the 659 is lams and at 170kg that's likely max power to weight ratio but likely has more torque and power through the entire rev range plus its on good suspension with gear normally available on larger bikes.

Never owned a Ducati but they cant be all bad.

Ducati suspension aint that flash. Even the R model Ohlins stuff needs money spent on it to make a rideable bike.

Quick ban exhaust wrap also because that might increase power.
By underpowered you must be talking lams approved since its on the power to weight limit.
I still haven't heard of anyone getting a muffler ticket yet but maybe its happening.
Although you might rather have a CB500 I would say a lot would rather own the Ducati especially if the price stays low.
The last one was 8500 or near offer for 2015 model and last 24hrs before being sold.

Passed my full test recently with an aftermarket loudish muffler. No problems. Then again, barring the legal aspect, farting is more effective for power to weight than changing the muffler on a Hyosung.

Better get in quick, looks to be plenty of interest in it.

[pritch]

700cc and 52 horse power.
There is no point in making a bike with those numbers.


Moto Guzzi do some with similar figures. One of the new Triumph twins is bigger but wouldn't make many more ponies. I note that HD are coy about the power figure for their 750 Street but I would be surprised if it made much more.

People buy these things. Maybe when I get old? :scratch:

If it's a recent jap import, it's more than likely a restricted version. Probably been sitting in a collection too - unused for too long.

Further to HD HP mentioned earlier, HD did a 1200 Sporty for the Swiss market limited to 28PS. Notably slow I heard.

[F5 Dave]

Yeah it will be 45ps so they are claiming 60hp, but unrestricted ones were like 52. This will need ign probably pipes and think carbs will be 32s not 34s. Still looks good. But was only a couple of years back a mate bought the next evolution VJ23 for $5k.

[jafagsx250]

Is it possible to get them to 60 hp? Or is that the fly wheel hp when de restricted?

But, but a pferdenstarke is LESS than a HP. 98.6% of a HP to be precise.

[F5 Dave]

Yup. So Jap import will be restricted. Nz model should do 52. Jap let'ssay 45 minus 1 Jimsworth.

Yeah 60 easy enough with a little tunning. 70 possible with quite a lot. 300cc kit helps. None of which helps reliability.

A FZR100 weighs 209kgs dry, YB8 180kgs. GSXR1100 228kgs, Bimota SB6 190kgs these reductions haven't been achieved by using helium in the tyres. As for rigidity I have raced a FZR 400 framed FZR 600 for the last 5 seasons, having just built a 600 engined YB7 Bimota the difference is night and day with the Bimota being a much stiffer race orientated bike.

Drop the fzr exup cast iron midpipe collector with valve assy and that is 10kg saved.
Drop the fzr wheels and fit magnesium replacements and there is another very large chunk.
Airbox and fairings would be a couple also saved.
Likely the chain and sprocket set would be a kg lighter.
Fzr had a very heavy rear subframe and inner wheel guards also.
Stock muffler was stainless cover also.

Yep. Colin Chapman again: "take those fucking spring washers off, I'm not paying for them to take a free ride"

There's a bunch of shit attached to production bikes (Jap ones in particular) that contribute fuck all to the business of navigating your average road let alone a track.

I don't personally have a problem with washers, but your list is just the beginning.

Quite feasible if they did indeed use their own cams. The watercooled motor was a bit better than the last air/oil donk.
FWIW I dynoed an 1100L air/oil speedway minisprint motor at 148hp at the wheels. A pipe,39mm flatslides, alky and careful assembly. All stock internals.

I'm not sure if an old 400 is worth it when a far newer 600 isn't much more money. I ride my bike everywhere no matter the weather so it needs to be relatively cheap to run.

Does the bandit suffer from the same cheap brakes and suspension as the sv650 does? I was hoping to pick up something fuel injected but only because of better fuel economy.

Both of them are competent bikes, any inadequacies in suspension or brakes are beyond the capabilities of the average rider.
The SVs when 1st released suzuki had a race series/program with a fleet of identical bikes for riders so they aren't lacking.

Ooh. Unprecedented. I'm going to side with Drew.

Suzukis are above all budget bikes. Cheap is better. They know how to present the best value for money. It's not about what is better. It's about bottom line. More sales. Cheapest products.

They have their place in market. Most people don't care. But be sure, suspension mods are the best thing you can do to these.

There's plenty more bikes out there with "junk" suspension but 1 issue on a bike with an 18yr model run doesn't make it crap :msn-wink:

That's all you've got on a bike with a 18yr model run so far :rolleyes:

Junk suspension for Suzuki go in the realms of:
Rotary damper on the TL1000s (we all know that story)
Whole set-up on GSX1100G (jelly)
Whole set-up on GSX1100F (within 2yrs stiffened up & swingarm lengthen)
Whole set-up on 1st gen VS750/1400 (so soft the frame felt like it had a universal joint in it)

It's not just the forks, but that it has damper rods is the epitome of crap suspension.

I didn't say the be was crap, I didn't say people shouldn't buy them, I'm telling you that you're wrong in thinking it's decent enough gear based on it being used for so long.

I'm now also saying you're a fucken moron, and I'm dropping the mic and walking off too.

Ok tough guy, I'll tell you straight up should we ever meet.

Try not to lose sleep over this, I just don't care what you think of me. It's not like any of this is a big deal. You're wrong in saying that SV suspension isn't junk, because it's fucken crap. There isn't an argument to make against that, it's just a basic fact.

I'm not saying the bikes aren't decent value for money because of it, I'm just saying the suspension is rubbish. The bikes ride like a bathtub half full of water.

If you're too stupid to actually read what I've said and wanna have a scrap over it, PM me whenever you're in Wellington and I'll tell ya where I am.

Otherwise, shut your fucken hole.

Better than a cbx750. But somehow he'smade an iconic sexy bike look ugly. I mean it does doesn't it?

Screen is shit, tank grips look dreadful. Somehow the fairing and tank look more ST4 than 916esque.

Theres some over the top bits that have changed the look of the bikes shape.

[F5 Dave]

Few minutes with a hair dryer should lose those.

Factor in a belt change if its spent any time sitting or 2yrs.

[v twin]

The extra styling is a bit wrong somehow but these bikes have faultless handling if right. Smooth as a baby bum. Belts are an easy job, pretty old tech now. Good pick....if only I had the spare cash

If they are TechSpec, and they appear to be, you don't need heat they will just peel off. If you put them on greaseproof paper you can use them again - more than once.
Not that I have tried that, I just put mine on and left them there.

Headlight was not the problem the second one filled up also.
Turned out it was the breather tape getting blocked up with oil from the leaking steering damper. Im hoping the steering damper and back brakes turn up this summer.

Interesting. that's the model 400 you can get an FZR1000 into - and a 5.5 rear.

Don't really see why the blade motor. Not that light or small. Best I ever got out of one on carbs was around 140rwhp.

How does the frame cope with 3 times or so the hp and torque? I thought it would flex and crack etc.

I've actually got one of that model 400 here at present. Built like a brick shithouse. Main beams are pretty much same section as the 1000 but shorter - so stiffer. More cast sections than the 1000 too. I've never compared the early 400 weight to this late version but I'd pick the late one is quite a bit heavier.

Sounds very expensive to make a frame like that. They sound like a good bike to ride.

I'd be keen to get one if I have enough money when I get my full. Either one of them or just get a better 250.

RSV4RR sell out.

Liked it so much I bought one.

After a quick ride and a clean why not. 8 months into ownership and absolutely no regrets. Racking up the k's and loving it.

Expensive. 4 year old 600 or 5 or year old thousand price.
You would need to get it and keep km down to make it worth it. Not sure what they go for overseas price wise.
I must admit they would be fun on a twisty road though.

Always liked them but I need rebuild my marriage a bit before the next purchase. I think there is a point that they go out shopping and do not return. It would not be easy to find a second income again with such a high threshold for being around stupid.
